Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Ash
The word "ash" is derived from (Heb. o'ren,
"tremulous"), mentioned only Isa. 44:14 (R.V., "fir
tree"). It is rendered "pine tree" both in the LXX. and
Vulgate versions. There is a tree called by the Arabs aran, found still
in the valleys of Arabia Petraea, whose leaf resembles that of the
mountain ash. This may be the tree meant. Our ash tree is not known in
Syria.
