and so the Vulgate in both places has pyrorum. The Rabbins, however, believe bacha signifies the mulberry-tree; with whom Ursinus agrees. It more probably denotes a large shrub which the Arabs still call baca, from its distilling an odoriferous gum, from bachah to distil, as tears. Of this opinion is Celsius, who quotes a passage from Abulfadi, who describes it as a balsam shrub, having longish leaves, and bearing a large fruit with an acrid taste. M. Forskal mentions a tree by the name of beca, with leaves rather ovated, smooth, entire: its berries are poisonous to the sheep.ReciprocalJoshua 6:10 - until the day; Judges 20:29 - liers; 1 Samuel 14:37 - Shall I go; 23:2 - inquired; 30:8 - inquired; 2 Samuel 2:1 - inquired; 14:20 - fetch; 21:1 - of the Lord; 1 Kings 8:44 - whithersoever; 1 Chronicles 14:10 - inquired; 2 Chronicles 18:4 - Inquire; Psalm 84:6 - Baca
