Nuts. Those mentioned in Genesis 43:11 are doubtless pistachio-nuts, which were produced in Syria, but not in Egypt. Another word translated "nuts" in Song of Solomon 6:11 denotes what are known in our markets as "English walnuts," produced by a noble tree—Juglans regia—which is everywhere cultivated in the East.
