shittah—rather, the "acacia," or Egyptian thorn, from which the gum Arabic is obtained [LOWTH].
oil tree—the olive.
fir tree—rather, the "cypress": grateful by its shade.
pine—GESENIUS translates, "the holm."
box tree—not the shrub used for bordering flower beds, but [GESENIUS] a kind of cedar, remarkable for the smallness of its cones, and the upward direction of its branches.
