<p> is the rendering of עֵוֹ הָדָר, ets hadar', tree of splendor, the fruit (פְּדַי, "boughs") of which (Sept. καρπὸς ζύλου ώραῖος, Vulg. fructus arboris pulcherrimae), the [[Israelites]] were directed to take (i.e., carry about in festive procession) on the first day of the [[Feast]] of Tabernacles, in memory of their having dwelt in booths in the wilderness (Leviticus 23:40). The tree generally conceded to be meant is the citron (Celsius, Hierobot. 1:252), the fruit of which [[Josephus]] states was that in the hands of the [[Jews]] on the day of the festival of the Scenopegia, when they pelted king Jannseus with it (Ant. 13:13, 5). (See [[Citron]]). Others regard the olive as meant, this being the tree mentioned in the parallel account of Nehemiah 8:15. It would seem, however, that no specific tree is intended, but any one of sufficient size and beauty to be suitable to the occasion (Ursini Arboret. Bibl. page 577. (See [[Tree]]). </p> | |||
