(ii) Berowth (1266) - used of a lance or musical instrument - War/Worship.
An evergreen tree of uncertain identity. Although this tree is mentioned several times in Scripture, biblical authorities question whether this was the true fir or some other evergreen of Palestine. Many suggest the aleppo pine would fit this description, while others think the cypress, juniper, or cedar could be meant.
The Israelites valued the timber of the fir tree for building the Temple <1 Kin. 6:15>, (KJV), for ship building <Ezek. 27:5>, and for making musical instruments <2 Sam. 6:5>. The fir is used symbolically to describe the blessings of God for His people <Is. 41:19; 55:13>, (KJV).
