Subjects in this Topic:
SYCAMINE (Luk_17:6).—sykaminos is, strictly speaking, the black mulberry (Morus nigra the tût shâmî of the Syrians), and it is probably this tree that is referred to in Luk_17:6 and in 1Ma_6:34. But sykaminos is also used in LXX [Note: Septuagint.] in many passages as the equivalent of the shiqmîm or sycomore (wh. see).
