POPLAR ( libneh [root meaning ‘white’] Genesis 30:37 ’ RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘storax’; Hosea 4:13 . The Heb. is very similar to Arab [Note: Arabic.] , lubna meaning ‘storax,’ which is the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] tr. [Note: translate or translation.] in Genesis 30:37; on the other hand, in Hosea 4:12 the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] has leukç [‘white’], i.e. the ‘poplar’). The poplar may easily have furnished Jacob with white rods. There are two kinds of poplar in Syria, Populus alba and P [Note: Priestly Narrative.] . euphratica; they both flourish round Damascus, where their trunks are much used in making supports for the mud roofs.
