Leviticus 23:40

On the first day, you shall take
a selected fruit (lemon – Hebr. hadar) [called etrog],
a branch of palm trees (Hebr. lulav),
a branch of deciduous trees (myrtle – Hebr. hadas)
and a branch of a willow tree (Hebr. aravah)
and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God (Yahweh Elohim) for seven days.
[These four plants (the lemon fruit, palm, myrtle, and willow branches) are called Arbaat Haminim. In accordance with this commandment, every Jew today still takes an etrog, which is a lemon-yellow citrus fruit that symbolizes the heart and has both taste and fragrance, a lulav, which is an unopened palm branch that symbolizes the spine and has taste but no fragrance, a myrtle branch that symbolizes the eye and has fragrance but no taste, and a willow branch that symbolizes the mouth and has neither fragrance nor taste. These are waved before the Lord in all directions, as well as up and down. This means that one includes one's entire life, both spiritually and physically. It is done with joy and also expresses a desire to have a heart after God's heart, to be upright in faith and conduct, to have eyes that see oneself and others as God sees us, and to have a mouth that speaks truth, blessing, faith, and life.]
