Subjects in this Topic:
BOX-TREE (teashshûr, Isa_41:19; Isa_60:13, Eze_27:6).—Whether the teashshûr was the box-tree (Buxus longifolia) or the sherbin, mod. Arab. [Note: Arabic.] for the cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), as RV [Note: Revised Version.] adopts, or, as others propose, a kind of juniper, is quite unsettled. So good an authority as Post rejects the first as improbable.
