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.)
Also from Smith's (1884) +−
Heb. tidhar . (Isaiah 41:19; 60:13) What tree is intended is not certain: but the rendering “pine,” seems least probable of any. Shemen, (Nehemiah 8:16) is probably the wild olive.
