Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary
פול , occurs 2 Samuel 17:28 , and Ezekiel 4:9 . A common legume. Those most usually cultivated in Syria are the white horse-bean, faba rotunda oblonga, and the kidney-bean, phaseolis minimus, fructu viridi ovato, called by the natives masch. The Arabic ban, the name of the coffee berry, corresponds with our bean, and is probably its etymon.
