Ezekiel 15:2
Ezekiel 15:22“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine surpass any other branch among the trees in the forest?
is not a prominent Watchtower proof-text. The verse enters the cross-paganism discussion only because its Hebrew word zemorah ("vine branch") is the same word used at ("branch to their nose"), which the Watchtower sometimes couples with phallic-cross claims.
— "Son of man, what does the wood of the vine become more than any other wood, the vine branch that is among the trees of the forest?" — uses zemorah in its plain, unambiguous sense: a vine's branch. No cultic, phallic, or sun-worship connotation. The word is ordinary agricultural vocabulary. Ezekiel 15's comparison is about usefulness: vine-wood has no structural use beyond bearing fruit, which is the prophetic point about unfaithful Jerusalem. uses the same word for the grape-cluster branches Israel's spies brought back from Eshcol. uses it of agricultural cuttings. The Hebrew lexical evidence across these passages settles the ordinary meaning, and the phallic reading of has no linguistic foundation. Useful context when the Watchtower's cross-as-phallic-symbol genealogy comes up.
