LOTUS TREES.—The correct (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ) tr. [Note: translate or translation.] of tse’ìlim (Job_40:21 f., AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘shady trees’), the haunt of Behemoth (i.e. the hippopotamus). The tree is probably = the Arab [Note: Arabic.] , dâl, the ‘dom-tree,’ and must not he confused with the Egyptian water-lilies. It is a prickly shrub found in N. Africa and S. Europe.
