The acacia wood was significant in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. The location of Shittim holds historical importance as the site where the Israelites prepared for their entry into Canaan and where they fell into idolatry and immorality with the Moabites, leading to God's judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7848.htm">shittah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place E. of the Jordan, also a wadi perhaps W. of Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shittim (5).<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> <font class="hebrew2">שִׁטִּים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> always <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">הַשּׁ</font>;
