<p> '''Nuts.''' [[Nuts]] are mentioned among the good things of the things, which the sons of [[Israel]] were to take, as a present to [[Joseph]] in Egypt. Genesis 43:11. There can scarcely be a doubt that the [[Hebrew]] word here, denotes the fruit of the pistachio, ('''Pistacia vera''' ), for which Syria and [[Palestine]] have been long famous. In Song of [[Solomon]] 6:11, a different Hebrew word is translated "nuts." In all probability, it here refers to the walnut tree. According to Josephus, the walnut tree was formerly common and grew most luxuriantly, around the Lake of Gennesareth. </p> | <p> '''Nuts.'''

<p> '''Nuts.''' Those mentioned in Genesis 43:11 are doubtless pistachio-nuts, which were produced in Syria, but not in Egypt. Another word translated "nuts" in 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> '''Nuts.'''

<p> ''''' nuts ''''' : </p> <p> (1) ( אגוז , <i> ''''' 'ĕghōz ''''' </i> ; καρύα , <i> ''''' karúa ''''' </i> ; Arabic <i> ''''' jauz ''''' </i> , "the walnut" ( 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> ( 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 ( Genesis 43:11 ). </p> | <p> ''''' nuts ''''' : </p> <p> (1) ( אגוז , <i> ''''' 'ĕghōz ''''' </i> ; καρύα , <i> ''''' karúa ''''' </i> ; Arabic <i> ''''' jauz ''''' </i> , "the walnut" ( 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.
