SHITTAH TREE ( shittâh , Isaiah 41:19 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘ acacia tree’; shittim wood [ ‘ăts ç-shîttîm ] Exodus 25:5; Exodus 25:10; Exodus 25:13; Exodus 26:15; Exodus 26:26; Exodus 27:1; Exodus 27:6 , Deuteronomy 10:3 , RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘acacia wood’). shittâh was originally shintâh , and is equivalent to Arab. [Note: Arabic.] sunt , which is the Acacia nilotica; but the word no doubt included other desert acacias. The seyât of the Arabs, which includes the gum-arabic tree ( A. seyat ), and A. tortilis would both furnish suitable wood. Both these trees are plentiful around the Dead Sea, particularly at ‘Ain Jidy .
