KJV, REB and NAS translation in Isaiah 41:19; Isaiah 60:13 . The box tree grows in Asia Minor and Persia but does not occur in Palestine. The tree has been identified as the pine (NRSV) or cypress (TEV, NIV). “Box tree”is based on early Greek and Latin translations. The Hebrew word means, “to be straight” and apparently refers to the tall, majestic cypress trees. Such wonders of nature reflect the greatness of the Creator (Isaiah 41:20 ).
