Teil-Tree
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
is properly the linden-tree, or Tilia Europcaus of botanists. It is mentioned in the A. V., in Isaiah 6:13, "as a teil tree, and as an oak;" but as in the Hebrew the word is אֵלָה , elâ h, usually rendered "oak," by many supposed to be the terebinth, or "turpentine-tree," there is no reason for giving it a different signification in this from what it has in other passages. (See OAK).
