Isaiah 6:13
The Hebrew word is
elah
, and is supposed to be the terebinth, though it is often translated “oak.” In
Isaiah 6:13
13
But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. (Isaiah 6:13)
“the oak” (
allon
) is mentioned as well as the
elah
, different trees are therefore doubtless indicated by the two Hebrew words. It is now generally supposed that
allon
refers to the oak, and
elah
to the terebinth, the
Pistacia terebinthus
