palm trees.{Tamar,} in Ethiopic, {tamart,} the palm tree, is so called, says Parkhurst, from its straight, upright growth, for which it seems more remarkable than any other tree; and it sometimes rises to the height of more than 100 feet.
The trunk is remarkably straight and lofty; and it is crowned at the top with a large tuft of spiring leaves, about four feet long, which never fall off, but always continue in the same flourishing verdure.
The stalks are generally full of rugged knots, which are vestiges of decayed leaves:
for the trunk of the tree is not solid, but its centre is filled with pith, round which is a tough bark full of strong fibres when young, which, as the tree becomes old, hardens and becomes ligneous. To this bark the leaves are closely joined, which, as the tree becomes old, hardens and becomes ligneous.
To this bark the leaves are closely joined, which in the centre rise erect, but after they are advanced above the vagina which surrounds them, they expand very wide on every side of the stem, and as the older leaves decay, the stalk advances in height.
The leaves, when the tree has grown to a size for bearing fruit, are six or eight feet long, and very broad when expanded.
The fruit, called the date, grows below the leaves in clusters.
Psa. 92:12‑15• 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
 13Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
 14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
 15To show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. (Psa. 92:12‑15)

1 Kings 6:18,32• 18And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.

• The eagle is not mentioned in the ornamentation of the temple nor of the vessels of the court, for the eagle represents rapidity of judgment and does not apply to an established, peaceful government. 1 Kings 7:29 proves what we are saying: “And on the borders... were lions, oxen, and cherubim.” The cherubim therefore are the aspect of intelligence in the government of God here. This intelligence ornaments the house of God. (“The Temple: 1 Kings 6” by H.L. Rossier)
• {within and without} All the ways of God in His government, the external portion, that which may be read upon the wall, bears witness to this intelligence, to this infinitely varied wisdom. But beyond this we find another whole portion of the thoughts of God, unknown under the law, hidden and covered over in the interior of the temple where no human eye could see them. These are the counsels of God. (“The Temple: 1 Kings 6” by H.L. Rossier)
