Pine Tree:
Heb. tidhar, mentioned along with the fir- tree in Isa 41:19; 60:13. This is probably the cypress; or it may be the stone-pine, which is common on the northern slopes of Lebanon. Some suppose that the elm, others that the oak, or holm, or ilex, is meant by the Hebrew word. In Neh 8:15 the Revised Version has "wild olive" instead of "pine." (See FIR.)
Pine Tree:
pin tre:
(1) ‘ets shemen, translated the Revised Version (British and American) "wild olive," the King James Version "pine" (Ne 8:15); the Revised Version (British and American) "oil-tree," m "oleaster" (Isa 41:19); "olive-wood" (1Ki 6:23,31-33).
See OIL TREE.
(2) tidhhar (Isa 41:19, margin "plane"; Isa 60:13); peuke, "fir." Lagarde, from similarity of tidhhar to the Syriac deddar, usually the "elm," considers this the best translation. Symmachus also translated tidhhar (Isa 41:19) by ptelea, the "elm." The elm, Ulmus campestris, is rare in Palestine and the Lebanon, though it is found today N. of Aleppo. Post (HDB, 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, Pinus pinea, and the Aleppo pine, P. halepensis; all the highlands looking toward the sea are suited to their growth.

Pine Tree:
(1.) (Heb. tidhar). (Isaiah 41:19; 60:13). What tree is intended is not certain: but the rendering "pine," seems least probable of any.
(2.) Shemen (Nehemiah 8:16) is probably the wild olive.
Fir:
the uniform rendering in the Authorized Version (marg. R.V., "cypress") of berosh (2Sa 6:5; 1Ki 5:8,10; 6:15,34; 9:11, etc.), a lofty tree (Isa 55:13) growing on Lebanon (37:24). Its wood was used in making musical instruments and doors of houses, and for ceilings (2Ch 3:5), the decks of ships (Eze 27:5), floorings and spear-shafts (Nah 2:3, R.V.). The true fir (abies) is not found in Palestine, but the pine tree, of which there are four species, is common.
The precise kind of tree meant by the "green fir tree" (Hsa 14:8) is uncertain. Some regard it as the sherbin tree, a cypress resembling the cedar; others, the Aleppo or maritime pine (Pinus halepensis), which resembles the Scotch fir; while others think that the "stone-pine" (Pinus pinea) is probably meant. (See PINE.)
