mal - o - bath´ron : the Revised Version margin suggests that this translation may be right instead of Bether in the phrase בּתר הרי , hārē bether ( Song of Solomon 2:17 ). But this spice never grew wild in Palestine, and so could hardly have given its name to a mountain, or mountain range. The name Bether ought therefore to be retained, notwithstanding Wellhausen (Prol.2 , 415). The spice is the leaf of the Cassia lignea tree.
