''Israel Shall Blossom''
Israel's 14th Anniversary of Independence Coin 5722-1962
The words "Israel shall blossom" appear in Isaiah's prophecy:
"In days to come shall Jacob take root, Israel shall sprout and blossom And they shall fill the world with abundance." (Isaiah 27:6)
The passage carries with it a symbolic allusion to the potential for unearthing of vital minerals and raw materials in undeveloped areas, such as the Negev.
