NUTS.—1. ’ĕôz (Son_6:11), without doubt the fruit of the walnut-tree (Juglans regia), called to-day in Arab. [Note: Arabic.] jauz. 2. botnîm (Gen_43:11) means pistachio nuts, the fruit of Pistacia vera, a tree widely cultivated in Palestine. The nuts, known in Arab [Note: Arabic.] , as fistuq, are very great favourites; they are eaten raw, and also made into various sweets and confectionery.
