<p> ''''' plān´trē ''''' ( ערמון , <i> ''''' ‛armōn ''''' </i> ; πλάτανος , <i> ''''' plátanos ''''' </i> (&nbsp; [[Genesis]] 30:37 ), ἐλάτη , <i> ''''' elátē ''''' </i> ("pine" or "fir") (&nbsp;Ezekiel 31:8 ); the King James Version chestnut): <i> ''''' ‛Armōn ''''' </i> is supposed to be derived from the root ערם , <i> ''''' ‛āram ''''' </i> , meaning "to be bare" or "naked"; this is considered a suitable term for the plane, which sheds its bark annually. The chestnut of the King James Version is not an indigenous tree, but the plane ( <i> Planus orientalis </i> ) is one of the finest trees in Palestine, flourishing especially by water courses (compare [[Ecclesiasticus]] 24:14). </p>
