The name of Betonim, a town in Gad, is derived from it ( Joshua 13:26). The fruit is the size of an olive, bulging on one side, hollow on the other; red pulp encases a shell, the kernel of which is green, sweet, and oily. </p> <p> '''(2)''' Εgowz; Song of [[Solomon]] 6:11, "the garden of nuts." i.e. walnuts. </p> | <p> '''(1)''' '''''Βotnim''''' , pistachio tree fruit.
