Fir. Isaiah 14:8; Ezekiel 27:5; etc. As the term "cedar" is in all probability applicable to more than one tree, so also "fir" in the Authorized Version represents probably one or other of the following trees:
1. Pinus sylvestris, or Scotch fir;
2. Larch;
3. Cupressus sempervirens, or cypress,
all which are at this day found in the Lebanon. The wood of the fir was used for ship-building, Ezekiel 27:5, for musical instruments, 2 Samuel 6:5, for beams and rafters of houses. 1 Kings 5:8; 1 Kings 5:10; 2 Chronicles 2:8. It was a tall evergreen tree of vigorous growth.
