Trees mentioned in scripture

Trees
Hos 12:10
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have
multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of
the prophets.
Nature teaches prophecy; from it we get
information about God.
Exod 10:1-2
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for
I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants,
that I might shew these my signs before him:
2 And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of
thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and
my signs which I have done among them; that ye may
know how that I am the LORD.
Supernatural interference with the order of nature
is a rebuke from God; we learn his authority from
it.
Judg 9:34-39

34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were
with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in
four companies.35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out,
and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and
Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him,
from lying in wait.36 And when Gaal saw the people, he
said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the
top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou
seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.37
And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people
down by the middle of the land, and another company
come along by the plain of Meonenim.38 Then said Zebul
unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst,
Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this
the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now,
and fight with them.39 And Gaal went out before the men
of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Mark 8:24
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees,
walking.

- Almond

• Fruit of
Gen 43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must
be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in
your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little
balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and
almonds:
• Aaron's rod of the
Num 17:8 And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses
went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold,
the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi -dead
was budded, and brought forth buds,- growth that shows life
and bloomed blossoms, -evidence of maturity
and yielded almonds.- fruit, something beatifical to others
“no tree has buds, blossoms and fruit at the same time.” --
Hoffman
God gave supernatural proof of the priesthood to Aaron as
the high priest by a “rod” that was all things from “dry
ground”- dead;
as a picture of the true high priest that was to come.

7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered
up prayers and supplications with strong crying and

tears unto him that was able to save him from death,
and was heard in that he feared;

, yet learned he
obedience by the things which he suffered;

, he became the
author of eternal salvation unto all them fruit
that
obey him;
Health Benefit Of Almonds:
Almonds are an excellent source of antioxidants, which
can help prevent the signs of ageing. They are also
thought to be able to help prevent cancer. Almonds are
also a good source of vitamin E which is good for the skin
and they also have anti-inflammatory properties.
As our food passes through our digestive system, the
digestion process helps us to absorb the nutrients. The
more nutrition we get from our food the better, but this
absorption is not always as good as it could be.
Thankfully, almonds can help us to get as much from our
food as possible.
Almonds are a good source of healthy fat and these fats
help us to absorb vitamins and other nutrients from our
food. They also help to maintain a healthy balance of
enzymes in our digestive tract, further ensuring we digest
our food as effectively as possible.
Diabetes affects millions of people across the world. It can
have a profound effect on the patient’s life and can

sometimes be a threat to their life altogether. We have
learned a great deal about how to prevent it and control it,
however, and almonds could help to that end.
Fatty acids found in almonds can help the body to
regulate its own blood sugar levels. Eating almonds
regularly can also help prevent your body from becoming
resistant to insulin, with insulin resistance as one of the
main causes of diabetes. They should not be used as a
treatment alone, but they can be part of a diet that helps
control the condition.
Almonds are a very good source of fiber and healthy fats
which help to promote the loss of excess body fat. They
also make you feel full, saving you from cravings for other
foods which may not be so good for you. Almonds, like
other nuts, are also a great source of energy and will help
to keep you going for longer.

leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the
apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she
brought thee forth that bare thee.

Blood cholesterol and heart disease
Health Benefit Of Apples:
Several studies have examined apples’ effects on risk factors for heart
disease.
A hamster study suggested that apples can reduce total cholesterol levels and
lead to drastic reductions of 48% in plaque buildup inside the arteries
(26Trusted Source).
A human study in Finland showed that those who consumed more than
1.9 ounces (54 grams) of apples per day were at a significantly lower risk of
developing heart disease.
Specifically, the risk of dying from heart disease was 43% lower in women and
19% in men (27Trusted Source).
Apples are healthy, tasty, and among the most popular fruits in the world.
Although they are not particularly rich in vitamins and minerals, they’re a good
source of fibers and antioxidants.
Apples may have several benefits, including improved heart health and a
lower risk of cancer and diabetes. They may also aid weight loss.
If you want to eat healthy, apples are an excellent choice.

the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and
to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual

be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy
servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou

knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to
hew timber like unto the Sidonians. 7 And it came to pass,
when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced
greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath
given unto David a wise son over this great people. 8 And
Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the
things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy
desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber
of fir. 9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon
unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto

household. 10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir
trees according to all his desire.

- Lign-aloes
Num 24:6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens
by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the
LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
Mentioned as a substance for perfuming garments
(Psalms 45:8) and beds (Proverbs 7:17). In Song of
Solomon 4:14, it occurs in a list of the most precious
spices. The most memorable use of aloes as a spice is
in John 19:39: "There came also Nicodemus, he who at
the first came to him at night, bringing a mixture of myrrh
and aloes, about a hundred pounds." This was an
immense quantity and if the aloes bore any large
proportion to the myrrh the mixture must have been

purchased at a very high cost. The most difficult mention
of aloes is the earliest where (Numbers 24:5,6) Balaam in
his blessing on Israel exclaims-- - "How goodly are thy
tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O Israel! As valleys are
they spread forth, As gardens by the river-side, As lign-
aloes which Yahweh hath planted, As cedar-trees beside
the waters." + As the aloes in question grow in East Asia it
is difficult to see how Balaam could have come to speak of
them as living trees. Post (HDB, I, 69) suggests that they
may possibly have been growing at that time in the Jordan
valley; this is both improbable and unnecessary. Balaam
need have had no actual tree in his mind's eye but may
have mentioned the aloe as a tree famous over the Orient
for its preciousness. That the reference is poetical rather
than literal may be supposed by the expression in the next
verse "cedar-trees beside the waters"--a situation very
unnatural for the high-mountain-loving cedar. Yet another
explanation is that the Hebrew has been altered and that
'elim, "terebinths" instead of 'ahalim, "aloes" stood in the
original text. The aloe wood of the Bible is eaglewood--so
misnamed by the Portuguese who confused the Malay
name for it (agora) with the Latin aquila, "eagle"--a product
of certain trees of the Natural Order Aquilariaceae,
growing in Southeast Asia The two most valued varieties
are Aquilaria malaccensis and Aloes agallocha--both fine
spreading trees. The resin, which gives the fragrant quality
to the wood, is formed almost entirely in the heart wood;
logs are buried, the outer part decays while the inner,
saturated with the resin, forms the "eagle wood" or "aloe
wood" of commerce; "aloes" being the same wood in a
finely powdered condition. To the Arabs this wood is

known as `ud. It shows a beautiful graining and takes a
high polish.
These aloes must be clearly distinguished from the well-
known medicinal aloes, of ancient fame. This is a resin
from Aloes socatrina, and allied species, of the Natural
Order Liliaceae, originally from the island of Socotra, but
now from Barbados, the Cape of Good Hope and other
places. The "American aloe" (Agave americana) which
today is cultivated in many parts of Palestine, is also quite
distinct from the Biblical plant.

- Mulberry
2Sam 5:23 And when David enquired of the LORD, he
said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind
them, and come upon them over against the mulberry
trees.
2Sam 5:24 And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of
a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou
shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before
thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
Mulberry
Heb. bakah, "to weep;" rendered "Baca" (RSV, "weeping")
in Psalms 84:6 . The plural form of the Hebrew bekaim is
rendered "mulberry trees" in 2Sam 5:23,24and 1
Chronicles 14:14 1 Chronicles 14:15 . The tree here

alluded to was probably the aspen or trembling poplar.
"We know with certainty that the black poplar, the aspen,
and the Lombardy poplar grew in Palestine. The aspen,
whose long leaf-stalks cause the leaves to tremble with
every breath of wind, unites with the willow and the oak to
overshadow the watercourses of the Lebanon, and with
the oleander and the acacia to adorn the ravines of
Southern Palestine" (Kitto). By "the sound of a going in the
tops of the mulberry trees" we are to understand a rustling
among the trees like the marching of an army. This was
the signal that the Lord himself would lead forth David's
army to victory.
- Myrtle
together:
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,
and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and
it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign
that shall not be cut off.
Zech 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a
red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were
in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses,

Myrtle [N] [E]
a plant mentioned in ( Nehemiah 8:15 ; Isaiah
41:19 ; 55:13 ; Zechariah 1:8 Zechariah 1:10 Zechariah
1:11 ) The modern Jews still adorn with myrtle the booths
and sheds at the feast of tabernacles. Formerly, as we
learn from Nehemiah, ( Nehemiah 8:15 ) myrtles grew on
the hills about Jerusalem. "On Olivet." says Dean Stanley,
"nothing is now to be seen but the olive and the fig tree:"
on some of the hills near Jerusalem, however, Hasselquist
observed the myrtle. Dr. Hooker says it is not uncommon
in Samaria and Galilee. The Myrtus communis is the kind
denoted by the Hebrew word. (It is a shrub or low tree
sometimes ten feet high, with green shining leaves, and
snow-white flowers bordered with purple, "which emit a
perfume more exquisite than that of the rose." The seeds
of the myrtle, dried before they are ripe, form our allspice.

- Mustard
Matt 13:32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but
when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and

becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and
lodge in the branches thereof.

Mustard [N] [S]
a plant of the genus sinapis, a pod-bearing, shrub-like
plant, growing wild, and also cultivated in gardens. The
little round seeds were an emblem of any small
insignificant object. It is not mentioned in the Old
Testament; and in each of the three instances of its
occurrence in the New Testament ( Matthew
13:31 Matthew 13:32 ; Mark 4:31 Mark 4:32 ; Luke
13:18 Luke 13:19 ) it is spoken of only with reference to
the smallness of its seed. The common mustard of
Palestine is the Sinapis nigra. This garden herb
sometimes grows to a considerable height, so as to be
spoken of as "a tree" as compared with garden herbs.
