Melons. (Hebrew, abattichim). Melons are mentioned only in Numbers 11:5. By the Hebrew word, we are probably to understand both the melon, (Cumcumis melo) and the watermelon, (Cucurbita citrullus). The watermelon, which is now extensively cultivated in all hot countries, is a fruit, not unlike the common melon, but the leaves are deeply lobed and gashed; the flesh is pink or white, and contains a large quantity of cold watery juice with out much flavor; the seeds are black.
