Easton's Bible Dictionary
Were among the presents Jacob sent into Egypt for the purpose of conciliating Joseph (Genesis 43:11 ). This was the fruit of the pistachio tree, which resembles the sumac. It is of the size of an olive. In Song of Solomon 6:11 a different Hebrew word ('egoz), which means "walnuts," is used. Copyright Statement
