<p> ''''' pı̄n ''''' ''''' trē ''''' : (1) שׁמן עץ , <i> ''''' ‛ēc ''''' </i> <i> shemen </i> , translated the Revised Version (British and American) "wild olive," the King James Version "pine" ( Nehemiah 8:15 ); the Revised Version (British and American) "oil-tree," m "oleaster" ( Isaiah 41:19 ); "olive-wood" ( 1 Kings 6:23 , 1 Kings 6:31-33 ). See [[Oil Tree]] . (2) תּדהר , <i> '''''tidhhār''''' </i> ( Isaiah 41:19 , margin "plane"; Isaiah 60:13 ); πεύκη , <i> '''''peúke''''' </i> , "fir." Lagarde, from similarity of <i> '''''tidhhār''''' </i> to the [[Syriac]] deddar, usually the "elm," considers this the best translation. [[Symmachus]] also translated <i> '''''tidhhār''''' </i> ( Isaiah 41:19 ) by πτελέα , <i> '''''pteléa''''' </i> , the "elm." The elm, <i> Ulmus campestris </i> , is rare in [[Palestine]] and the Lebanon, though it is found today N. of Aleppo. Post ( <i> HDB </i> , III, 592-93) considers that (1) should be translated as "pine," which he describes as a "fat wood tree"; it is perhaps as probably a correct translation for (2), but great uncertainty remains. Two species of pine are plentiful in the [[Lebanon]] and flourish in most parts of Palestine when given a chance. These are the stone pine, <i> Pinus pinea </i> , and the [[Aleppo]] pine, <i> Pinus halepensis </i> ; all the highlands looking toward the sea are suited to their growth. </p>
<p> The pine appears in our translation three times, &nbsp;Nehemiah 8:15; &nbsp;Isaiah 41:19; &nbsp;Isaiah 60:13 . &nbsp;Nehemiah 8:15 , giving directions for observing the feast of tabernacles, says, "Fetch olive branches, pine branches, myrtle branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths." The [[Hebrew]] phrase עצ שמן , means literally <em> branches of oily </em> or <em> gummy plants. </em> The LXX say <em> cypress. </em> Scheuchzer says the Turks call the cypress <em> zemin. </em> The author of "Scripture Illustrated" says," I should prefer the whole species called jasmin, on account of its verdure, its fragrance, and its flowers, which are highly esteemed. The word <em> jasmin </em> and <em> jasemin </em> of the Turks, resembles strongly the <em> shemen </em> of the Hebrew original here. The [[Persians]] also name this plant <em> semen </em> and <em> simsyk." </em> The authority, however, of the [[Septuagint]] must prevail. In &nbsp; Isaiah 41:19; &nbsp;Isaiah 60:13 , the Hebrew word is תדהר ; a tree, says Parkhurst, so called from the springiness or elasticity of its wood. Luther thought it the elm, which is a lofty and spreading tree; and Dr. [[Stock]] renders it the ash. After all, it may be thought advisable to retain the pine. La Roche, describing a valley near to Mount Lebanon, has this observation: <em> "La continuelle verdure des pins et des chenes verds fait toujours sa beaute." </em> [The perpetual verdure of the pines and the live oaks makes it ever beautiful.] </p>

<p> <strong> [[Pine Tree]]  </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . <em> ‘çts-shemen </em> , &nbsp; Nehemiah 8:15 , see Oil Tree. <strong> 2 </strong> . <em> tidhâr </em> . &nbsp; Isaiah 41:19 [RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘plane’] 60:13. From similarity to the Syr. <em> daddâr </em> (‘elm’), the <em> tidhâr </em> has been supposed to be the elm, but quite as probably may have been a kind of pine; of these the two common varieties known in Syria are the Aleppo or maritime ( <em> Pinus halepensis </em> ), and the stone ( <em> P. pinea </em> ) with its umbrella-like top. </p> <p> E. W. G. Masterman. </p>

<p> '''Pine Tree.''' </p> <p> 1. (Hebrew, '''tidhar''' .) &nbsp;Isaiah 41:19; &nbsp;Isaiah 60:13. What tree is intended is not certain: but the rendering "pine," seems least probable of any. </p> <p> 2. (Hebrew, '''Shemen''' ,) &nbsp;Nehemiah 8:16, is probably the wild olive. </p>

<p> 1. <i> tidhar. </i> A tree that grew on Mount Lebanon, but of what sort is uncertain. &nbsp;Isaiah 41:19; &nbsp;Isaiah 60:13 . </p> <p> 2. <i> ets shemen </i> , 'trees of oil,' &nbsp;Nehemiah 8:15 . See OIL TREE. </p>

<p> This tree is spoken of in [[Scripture]] by the Lord himself, as one of the trees which the Lord would take to beautify his sanctuary, (&nbsp;Isaiah 60:13) No doubt, it is figuratively spoken in allusion to believers. See [[Cedar]] Tree </p>
