 Ash
    (Heb. o'ren, "tremulous"), mentioned only Isa. 44:14 (R.V., "fir
    tree"). It is rendered "pine tree" both in the LXX. and Vulgate
    versions. There is a tree called by the Arabs _aran_, found
    still in the valleys of Arabia Petraea, whose leaf resembles
    that of the mountain ash. This may be the tree meant. Our ash
    tree is not known in Syria.
