tamar. This is a lofty tree without lateral branches, with a large tuft of leafy branches clustering at the top several feet long. At the base of the branches grow the dates in large clusters. Exo 15:27; Num 33:9; Jdg 4:5; Son 7:7-8; Jer 10:5; Joe 1:12. The branches were used to construct the booths at the feast of tabernacles. Lev 23:40; Neh 8:15; and were strewn in the path on the Lord’s last entrance into Jerusalem. Joh 12:13. There were many representations of palm-trees in the decorations of the temple, as there will also be in the future temple. 1Ki 6:29-35; 1Ki 7:36; 2Ch 3:5; Eze 40:16-37; Eze 41:18-26. The palm-tree is used as an emblem of fertility in Psa 92:12; some trees will bear yearly more than a hundred-weight of dates and for a period of about seventy years.

Palm, Palm Tree. Exo 15:27; Lev 23:40; Deu 34:3. There are several hundred species of palm; but the Phnix dactylifera, or date-palm, is that which, growing in Palestine, is often referred to in Scripture. Its fruit furnishes a considerable part of subsistence to the inhabitants of Egypt, Persia, and Arabia. A conserve is also made of it with sugar; while the stones are ground in the handmills for the food of camels. Baskets, bags, mate, etc., are manufactured of the leaves; the trunk is split up, and is serviceable in various ways; the weblike integuments at the bases of the leaves are twisted into ropes: the sap is collected, and is at first a sweetish mild beverage, but afterwards ferments, and a kind of arrack is produced from it by distillation. Every part, therefore, of the tree has its use. The names of many places show that palms were abundant: Elim, Elath, Hazezon-tamar”felling of palm tree”Gen 14:6; Bethany, “house of dates.” Joh 11:1; Joh 12:13.<\/p>\n
