Bible Question: Can you give me more information about the significance of the word "myrtle" in Isaiah 41:19 and Isaiah 55:13?

Bible Answer: Scripture ... Neh 8:15; Isa 41:19, 55:13; Zec 1:8, 10, 11 ...

Greetings cbruiny,

The myrtle is a shrub or low tree sometimes ten feet high, with green shining leaves, and snow-white flowers bordered with purple, "which emit a perfume more exquisite than that of the rose." The seeds of the myrtle, dried before they are ripe, form our allspice.
