<p> Isaiah 44:14; | <p> Isaiah 44:14; '''''Tirzah''''' , from '''''Taaraz''''' "to be hard." Sirach 24:13; Sirach 1:1-21. A large, coniferous, evergreen tree; the wood very durable, hard, and fragrant. The cypress, which is a native of Taurus, is now only found in lower levels of Syria. Since it seldom rots, it was used for idol statues. The juniper is found 7,000 ft. up Lebanon, but not at the top, which is 10,500 ft. high. </p> | ||
