In the Bible, it is often used to denote a significant landmark or location, as these trees were prominent and long-lasting, serving as notable points of reference in the landscape.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, large trees like the oak or terebinth were significant in the cultural and religious landscape. They often marked sacred sites, meeting places, or burial grounds. The strength and longevity of these trees made them symbols of endurance and stability. In a largely agrarian society, such trees provided shade and were integral to the ecosystem, supporting various forms of life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>prol. from <a href="/hebrew/352d.htm">ayil</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a terebinth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>oak (6), oaks (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">אֵלוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [feminine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>terebinth</b></font> (= <font class="hebrew2">אֵלָה</font>) — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> construct <a href="/interlinear/genesis/12-6.htm">Genesis 12:6</a> 4t.; plural construct <font class="hebrew2">אֵלוֺנֵי</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/13-18.htm">Genesis 13:18</a> 3t. — <em>terebinth</em> (or other tall tree, compare below on <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/10-3.htm">1 Samuel 10:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/judges/4-5.htm">Judges 4:5</a>), marking shrine, & hence used in topographic designations; <font class="hebrew2">מוֺרֶה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> (<em>teacher's terebinth</em>) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/12-6.htm">Genesis 12:6</a> (see Di) so <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/11-30.htm">Deuteronomy 11:30</a>; <font class="hebrew2">מְעוֺנְנִים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> (<em>eonjurors' tereb.</em>) <a href="/interlinear/judges/9-37.htm">Judges 9:37</a>; distinguished by owner or ruler <font class="hebrew2">מַמְרֵא</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/13-18.htm">Genesis 13:18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/14-13.htm">Genesis 14:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/genesis/18-1.htm">Genesis 18:1</a>; by neighbouring town <font class="hebrew2">(ב)צענים</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/4-11.htm">Judges 4:11</a>; compare <font class="hebrew2">בְּצַעֲנַנִּים</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/19-33.htm">Joshua 19:33</a> (editions <font class="hebrew2">אַלּוֺן</font>, but see Norzi Baer Di.); <font class="hebrew2">מֻצָּב אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׁכֶם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אֵ</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/9-6.htm">Judges 9:6</a> (compare <font class="hebrew2">אֵלָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/35-4.htm">Genesis 35:4</a>); <font class="hebrew2">תָּבוֺר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/10-3.htm">1 Samuel 10:3</a> read <font class="hebrew2">דְּבוֺרָה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> (& compare <font class="hebrew2">אַלּוֺן בָּכוּת</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/35-8.htm">Genesis 35:8</a>, & <font class="hebrew2">תֹּמֶר דְּבוֺרָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/4-5.htm">Judges 4:5</a>) compare Ew<sup>Geschichte iii. 31</sup> Th Di <a href="/interlinear/genesis/35-8.htm">Genesis 35:8</a> (see also below <font class="hebrew2">אַלּוֺן</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>plain <p>Prolonged from <a href="/hebrew/352.htm">'ayil</a>; an oak or other strong tree -- plain.
