or , algummim , Called in the parallel passage , by a transposition of letters , almuggim , or "almug-trees;" which is rendered by the Vulgate , ligna thyina , the thya or lignum vite wood. Theophrastus say that "the thyon of thya tree grows near the temple of Jupiter Ammon (in Africa) , and in the Cyrenaica; that it resembles the cypress in its boughs , leaves , stalk , and fruit; and that its wood (from its close texture) never rots." The LXX render here נוץךיםב; and Josephus calls it מץכב נוץךיםב , torch or pine-trees; but cautions us against supposing that the wood was like what was known in his time by that name; for these "were to the sight like the wood of the fig-tree , but more white and shining." The Syriac version has kaiso dekeėsotho , probably cypress wood; and Dr. Shaw supposes it denotes the cypress. Several critics understand it to mean gummy wood; and Celsius queries whether it may not be the sandal-tree , as the Rabbins and Dr. Geddes suppose
