| Exodus 25:5 | And rams' skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim-wood: | Setim-wood. The wood of a tree that grows in the wilderness, which is said to be incorruptible, (Challoner) as the Septuagint intimate. It is perhaps the Acacia, which is very black and hard. St. Jerome in Joel 3:18, says it resembles our white thorn. |
