ערמון . This tree, which is mentioned only in Genesis 30:37 , and Ezekiel 31:8 , is by the Septuagint and Jerom rendered plane tree; and Drusius, Hiller, and most of the modern interpreters render it the same. The name is derived from a root which signifies nakedness; and it is often observed of the plane tree that the bark peels off from the trunk, leaving it naked, which peculiarity may have been the occasion of its Hebrew name. The son of Sirach says, "I grew up as a plane tree by the water," Sir_24:14 .
