A.M. 2256.
B.C. 1748.
mandrakes.The mandrake may be the Hebrew {dudaim:}
it is so rendered by all the ancient versions, and is a species of melon, of an agreeable odour.
Hasselquist, speaking of Nazareth in Galilee, says, "What I found most remarkable at this village was the great number of mandrakes which grew in a vale below it.
I had not the pleasure of seeing this plant in blossom, the fruit now (May 5th, O. S.) hanging ripe on the stem, which lay withered on the ground.
From the season in which this mandrake blossoms and ripens fruit, one might form a conjecture that it was Rachel's {dudaim.}
These were brought her in the wheat harvest, which in Galilee is in the month of May, about this time, and the mandrake was now in fruit."
The Abbee Mariti describes it as growing "low like a lettuce, to which its leaves have a great resemblance, except that they have a dark green colour.
The flowers are purple, and the root is for the most part forked.
The fruit, when ripe in the beginning of May, is of the size and colour of a small apple, exceedingly ruddy, and of a most agreeable odour.
Our guide thought us fools for suspecting it to be unwholesome."
Song of Sol. 7:13• 13The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved. (Song of Sol. 7:13)
Give me.
Gen. 25:30• 30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. (Gen. 25:30)
• No excuse for their superstitious trust in the efficacy of love-apples, just like other Syrian women given only to the vanities of the heathen. (“Jacob: 6. Leah and Rachel Again” by W. Kelly)
