"Heb. tidhar, mentioned along with the fir-tree in Isa. 41:19;" 60:13. This is probably the cypress; or it may be the "stone-pine, which is common on the northern slopes of Lebanon." "Some suppose that the elm, others that the oak, or holm, or" "ilex, is meant by the Hebrew word. In Neh. 8:15 the Revised" "Version has "wild olive" instead of "pine." (See [490]FIR.)"
