Palm (palm tree)
Palm (palm tree)
denotes “the date palm;” it is used of “palm” trees in Joh 12:13, from which branches were taken; of the branches themselves in Rev 7:9. The “palm” gave its name to Phoenicia and to Phoenix in Crete, Act 27:12, RV. Jericho was the city of “palm trees,” Deu 34:3; Jdg 1:16; Jdg 3:13; 2Ch 28:15. They were plentiful there in the time of Christ.
