In the Torah, the pomegranate is mentioned several times, notably in the context of the design of the Temple and the garments of the High Priest. It is described as part of the decorative elements on the pillars of the Temple and is associated with the fruits of the land of Israel. Additionally, pomegranates are one of the seven species (Shiv'at HaMinim) that the Torah highlights as special products of the land. The fruit symbolizes righteousness and the commandments, as it is said to contain 613 seeds, corresponding to the 613 mitzvot (commandments) in Jewish tradition.
