This doctrine will be dealt with more completely in Jacob 5. Suffice it to say that the tame olive tree is symbolic of the house of Israel. The family of Lehi represents a branch that was planted in the nethermost part of the vineyard, And it came to pass that the Lord of the vineyard went his way, and hid the natural branches of the tame olive-tree in the nethermost parts of the vineyard, some in one and some in another, according to his will and pleasure (Jacob 5:14). See also Jacob 5:25,43,44,52.
