Elm

Hosea. 4:13; rendered "terebinth" in the Revised Version

It is the Pistacia terebinthus of Linn., a tree common in Palestine, long-lived, and therefore often employed for landmarks and in designating places (Gen. 35:4; Judg. 6:11, 19. Rendered "oak" in both the King James Version and R.V.). (See TEIL TREE.)
