Isaiah41:19
19. (Is 32:15; 55:13).
shittah--rather, the "acacia," or Egyptian thorn, from which the gum Arabic is obtained [Lowth].
oil tree--the olive.
fir tree--rather, the "cypress": grateful by its shade.
pine--Gesenius translates, "the holm."
box tree--not the shrub used for bordering flower beds, but [Gesenius] a kind of cedar, remarkable for the smallness of its cones, and the upward direction of its branches.
