In the Bible, acacia wood is notably used in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table of showbread, and the altar of burnt offering. The use of acacia wood symbolizes strength, endurance, and the incorruptible nature of God's covenant with His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Acacia trees are native to the arid regions of the Middle East and Africa. They are characterized by their thorny branches and are well-suited to desert environments. In ancient Israel, acacia wood was a valuable resource due to its availability and durability. The Israelites, during their wilderness journey, would have had access to these trees, making them a practical choice for constructing sacred objects.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/8346.htm">shishshim</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sixty<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>60 (2), sixty (1), sixty-two* (1).<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">שִׁתִּין</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun indeclinable</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sixty</b></font>;
