Watermelon. Citrullus lanatus. אבטיח’ăḇaṭṭiḥ - Strongs: H20.

From ISBE: Melons - mel'-unz (`abhattichim; compare Arabic battikh, the "water melon"; pepones): In Numbers 11:5, the melon is referred to as common in Egypt, and there can be no doubt that the variety indicated is the watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) which is indigenous in tropical Africa. It has been cultivated in Egypt since the earliest times.
