Fuel
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Almost every kind of combustible matter was used for fuel, such as the withered stalks of herbs (Matthew 6:30 ), thorns (Psalm 58:9; Ecclesiastes 7:6 ), animal excrements (Ezekiel 4:12-15; 15:4,6; 21:32 ). Wood or charcoal is much used still in all the towns of Syria and Egypt. It is largely brought from the region of Hebron to Jerusalem. (See COAL .) Copyright Statement
