shittim wood . Shittim wood is probably the acacia Nilotica. St. Jerome says , that the shittim wood grows in the deserts of Arabia , and is like white thorn , as to its colour and leaves; but the tree is so large as to furnish very long planks. The wood is hard , tough , and extremely beautiful. It is thought he means the black acacia , because that is the most common tree in the deserts of Arabia. It is of the size of a large mulberry tree. The spreading branches and larger limbs are armed with thorns , which grow three together. The bark is rough; and the leaves are oblong , standing opposite each other. The flowers , though sometimes white , are generally of a bright yellow; and the fruit , which resembles a bean , is contained in pods like those of the lupin. "The acacia ," says Dr. Shaw , "being by much the largest and most common tree in the deserts ," (Arabia Petrזa) , we have some reason to conjecture that the shittim wood was the wood of the acacia , especially as its flowers are of an excellent smell; for the shittah tree is , in Isaiah 41 . 19 , joined with the myrtle and other fragrant shrubs. It may be remarked , that of the two Hebrew names , shittim is masculine , and shittah feminine. So Mr. Bruce says , "the male is called saiel; from it proceeds the gula Arabic , on incision with an axe."
