lō´tus ( צאלים , ce'ĕlı̄m ; the King James Version shady trees): The trees under which behēmōth (the "hippopotams") rests; "He lieth under the lotus-trees," "The lotus-trees cover him with their shade" ( Job 40:21 , Job 40:22 ). The Arabic equivalent is the dōm tree, Zizyphus lotus , a species of jujube tree (Natural Order Rhamneae ); it has many spines and small globular fruit a little bigger than a pea. It is common in the Jordan valley. This plant has nothing to do with the Egyptian lotus. See LILY .
