סנח . This word occurs in Exodus 3:2; Exodus 3:4 , and Deuteronomy 33:16 , as the name of the bush in which God appeared to Moses. If it be the χιονος mentioned by Dioscorides, it is the white thorn. Celsius calls it the rubus fructicosus. The number of these bushes in this region seems to have given the name to the mountain Sinai. The word נהללים , found only in Isaiah 7:19 , and there rendered "bushes." means fruitful pastures.
