Another Bible Timeline fact –>SHITTAH-TREE (Isaiah 41:19; R.V., ?acacia tree?). Shittah wood was
employed in making the various parts of the tabernacle in the wilderness,
and must therefore have been indigenous in the desert in which the
Israelites wandered. It was the acacia or mimosa (Acacia Nilotica and A.
seyal). ?The wild acacia (Mimosa Nilotica), under the name of sunt,
everywhere represents the seneh, or senna, of the burning bush. A slightly
different form of the tree, equally common under the name of seyal, is the
ancient ?shittah,? or, as more usually expressed in the plural form, the
?shittim,? of which the tabernacle was made.? Stanley?s Sinai, etc. (Exodus
25:10, 13, 23, 28).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>SHITTIM acacias, also called ?Abel-shittim? (Numbers 33:49), a plain or
valley in the land of Moab where the Israelites were encamped after their
two victories over Sihon and Og, at the close of their desert wanderings,
and from which Joshua sent forth two spies (q.v.) ?secretly? to ?view? the
land and Jericho (Joshua 2:1).
Another Bible Timeline fact –>SHOA opulent, the mountain district lying to the north-east of
Babylonia, anciently the land of the Guti, or Kuti, the modern Kurdistan.
The plain lying between these mountains and the Tigris was called
su-Edina, i.e., ?the border of the plain.? This name was sometimes
shortened into Suti and Su, and has been regarded as = Shoa (Ezekiel
23:23). Some think it denotes a place in Babylon. (See PEKOD.)
Another Bible Timeline fact –>SHOBAB apostate. (1.) One of David?s sons by Bathseheba (2 Samuel
5:14).
(2.) One of the sons of Caleb (1 Chronicles 2:18), the son of Hezron.
Another Bible Timeline fact –>SHOBACH poured out, the ?captain of the host of Hadarezer? when he
mustered his vassals and tributaries from beyond ?the river Euphrates? (2
