Dictionaries :: Ash

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Ash:

(Heb. o'ren, "tremulous"), mentioned only Isa 44:14 (R.V., "fir tree"). It is rendered "pine tree" both in the LXX. and Vulgate versions. There is a tree called by the Arabs aran, found still in the valleys of Arabia Petraea, whose leaf resembles that of the mountain ash. This may be the tree meant. Our ash tree is not known in Syria.

Nave's Topical Bible

Ash: A Tree

Isa 44:14

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Ash:

(Heb. oren) only in Isaiah 44:14. As the true ash is not a native of Palestine, some understand this to be a species of pine tree. Perhaps the larch (Laryx europaea) may be intended.
