(mimosa) Nilotica’ (Lane, Ar. Eng. Lex.<\/em>); and by the Arabs of the Desert of the wanderings of Israel to the ‘A. tortilis’ and ‘A. laeta’ (Hart, Fauna and Flora of Sinai, Petra and W. Araba<\/em>, 52). More probably the former, an upright tree, 10 or 15 feet high, with a thick trunk and occasionally very numerous (e.g. a grove of acacias, chiefly ‘tortilis,’ ten miles long in the Arabah, id.<\/em> 31, cp. 8, 12, 92, and found on W. el Ithm, by which Israel probably passed to the Edomite plateau); the ‘A. laeta’ is a tropical tree found only in the Ghor, and there seldom. Both Tristram ( Nat. Hist. of the Bible<\/em>, 298 f.) and Post ( Flora<\/em>, 298 f. and art. ‘Shittah’ in Hastings’ D.B.<\/em>) identify the Shittah tree with the Seyyl acacia, but this is never called ‘Sun’ by the Beduin to-day, and indeed is distinguished by them from ‘Sun’ (Hart, op. cit.<\/em> 52). Doughty mentions an acacia, called by the modern inhabitants of the Arabian peninsula ‘olh,’ the only acacia wood which is not brittle, and is used by the Solubba, or tribe of smiths and carpenters, for saddle-trees and frames and vessels for milk, and also on the Arabian coast for ship-building ( Arabia Deserta<\/em>, i. 280, ii. 91, 678).<\/p>\n and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first<\/em> ] So Exo 34:4<\/span> a<\/em>, JE.<\/p>\n and went up into the mount<\/em>, with<\/strong> the two tables in mine hand<\/em> ] So substantially Exo 34:4<\/span> b<\/em>, J.<\/p>\n Verse 3<\/span>.

In Exodus 25<\/span>, and also 35, we find a full description of the ark.<\/p>\n No doubt Moses obeyed the command, and hewed the tables. It is not a strained idea to observe, that hewing the stone might have a figurative reference to the conviction of the SPIRIT on the heart of stone; and putting them into the ark, might be symbolical of bringing a soul, under the effects of a broken and contrite spirit to JESUS. Dearest JESUS! it is in thee, and in thy person, poor sinners find a refuge from every storm, and a covert from every tempest.<\/p>\n Deu 10:3 And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.<\/p>\n Ver. 3.

I made an ark Some of the Jewish doctors conclude from this text that there were two arks, one made by Bezaleel, and this one by Moses, which they fancy was the ark that went before them in their marches and battles. But this notion is confuted by many other passages. All that Moses means by saying, I made an ark, is, that he ordered one to be made, just as the expression, Solomon built the temple, only means that he provided for the building of it, and caused it to be built.<\/p>\n 10:3 And I made an ark [of] {a} shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.<\/p>\n (a) Which is a wood of long endurance.<\/p>\n And I made an ark [of] shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 3.
