The "Plant of Renown"
Most commentators (Spurgeon, Gill, Barnes) identify the "plant of renown" as a direct prophecy of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. They connect this image to other prophecies of the "Branch" and see Christ as the Tree of Life who provides spiritual food. A minority view, noted by Ellicott, suggests the Hebrew refers to a fruitful "plantation," a renowned land, rather than a person. The prevailing Christian interpretation sees Christ as the ultimate fulfillment.
