<p> <strong> NUTS. 1 </strong> . <em> ’Ä•gôz </em> (&nbsp; Song of Solomon 6:11 ), without doubt the fruit of the walnut-tree ( <em> Juglans regia </em> ), called to-day in Arab. [Note: Arabic.] <em> jauz </em> . 2. <em> botnîm </em> (&nbsp; [[Genesis]] 43:11 ) means pistachio nuts, the fruit of <em> Pistacia vera </em> , a tree widely cultivated in Palestine. The nuts, known in [[Arab]] [Note: Arabic.] , as <em> fistuq </em> , are very great favourites; they are eaten raw, and also made into various sweets and confectionery. </p> <p> E. W. G.

<p> '''Nuts.''' Those mentioned in &nbsp;Genesis 43:11 are doubtless pistachio-nuts, which were produced in Syria, but not in Egypt. Another word translated "nuts" in &nbsp;Song of Solomon 6:11 denotes what are known in our markets as "English walnuts," produced by a noble tree—''Juglans Regia'' —which is everywhere cultivated in the East. </p>

<p> &nbsp;Song of Solomon 6:11 (b) This probably describes the children of GOD. They live in heavenly places, not down in the swamps. They are of many colors, like the various races. They have good, sweet hearts. Some have thin shells, and some are hard and thick. They are of various shapes and sizes, according to the way they have grown. There is much about them to be thrown away, but much to be kept that is valuable. </p>

<p> ''''' nuts ''''' : </p> <p> (1) ( אגוז , <i> ''''' 'ĕghōz ''''' </i> ; καρύα , <i> ''''' karúa ''''' </i> ; Arabic <i> ''''' jauz ''''' </i> , "the walnut" (&nbsp; Song of Solomon 6:11 )): This is certainly the walnut tree, <i> Juglans regia </i> , a native of [[Persia]] and the [[Himalayas]] which flourishes under favorable conditions in all parts of Palestine; particularly in the mountains. In such situations it attains the height of from 60 to 90 ft. A grove of such trees affords the most delightful shade. </p> <p> (2) ( בּטנים , <i> ''''' boṭnı̄m ''''' </i> ; τερέβινθοι , <i> ''''' terébinthoi ''''' </i> (&nbsp; Genesis 43:11 , margin "pistachio nuts")): The Hebrew is perhaps allied to the Arabic <i> '''''buṭm''''' </i> , the "terebinth," which is closely allied to the <i> Pistacia vera </i> , Natural Order <i> Anacardiaceae </i> , which produces pistachio nuts. These nuts, known in Arabic as <i> '''''fistūḳ''''' </i> , are prime favorites with the people of Palestine. They are oblong, 3/4 inches long, with green, oily cotyledons. They are eaten raw and are also made into various sweets and confectionery. They are a product of Palestine, very likely to be sent as a present to Egypt (&nbsp;Genesis 43:11 ). </p>
