Bible Question:
The NASB is the only bible I find that mentions in Rev. 18:12 "Citron Wood" All other bibles merely mention something to the effect of good smelling wood. Where do the translators get the particularity of "citron wood" from ? |
Bible Answer: KJV calls is thyine: Re 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, From Strong's Concordance: http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/strongs/1073666764-8888.html "the citrus, an odoriferous North African tree used as incense, prized by the ancient Greeks and Romans on account of the beauty of its wood for various ornamental purposes" Praise the Lord!
