Strong's Lexicon shittah: Acacia tree Original Word: שִׁטָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to pierce" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "shittah" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific type of tree native to the Hebrew context. Usage: The term "shittah" refers to the acacia tree, a type of tree known for its hard, durable wood. In the Bible, it is often associated with the construction of sacred objects and structures, particularly in the context of the Tabernacle. Cultural and Historical Background: The acacia tree is native to the arid regions of the Middle East and Africa. Its wood is resistant to decay and insects, making it an ideal material for construction in ancient times. In the biblical context, the acacia wood was used extensively in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings, symbolizing durability and purity. The use of acacia wood reflects the Israelites' resourcefulness in utilizing available materials during their wilderness journey.
