the mulberry trees
|
|
The word bechaļm, rendered mulberry trees, is rendered by Aquila, [apion] pear-trees, as the LXX. also render in 1Ch 14:14, 15; and so the Vulgate in both places has pyrorum. The Rabbins, however, believe bacha signifies the mulberry-tree; with whom Ursinus agrees. It more probably denotes a large shrub which the Arabs still call baca, from its distilling an odoriferous gum, from bachah to distil, as tears. Of this opinion is Celsius, who quotes a passage from Abulfadi, who describes it as a balsam shrub, having longish leaves, and bearing a large fruit with an acrid taste. M. Forskal mentions a tree by the name of bęca, with leaves rather ovated, smooth, entire: its berries are poisonous to the sheep. |
