BOX TREE, ?????, Isa 41:9; 60:13; 27/6/type/nasb'>Eze 27:6; 2 Esdras 14:24, where the word appears to be used for tablets. Most of the ancient, and several of the modern, translators, render this word the buxus, or "box tree;" but from its being mentioned along with trees of the forest, some more stately tree must be intended, probably the cedar.
You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, And called from its remotest parts And said to you, 'You are My servant, I have chosen you and not rejected you.
"The glory of Lebanon will come to you, The juniper, the box tree and the cypress together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary; And I shall make the place of My feet glorious.
