A prickly shrub. The word serves as a translation for two Hebrew terms and a Greek one, all of which, however, should receive other renderings.

1. "Aṭad" ( = the Assyrian "eṭidu") figures in the parable of Jotham. It is the last tree to which the other trees came in quest of a king for themselves (Judges 9:14,15). In Psalms 58:10 "aṭad" is translated "thorns" (compare Gen. 11, "goren ha-aṭad"). The plant is one of the rhamnus group.
2. "Ḥoaḥ" () is only once translated "bramble"; elsewhere it is rendered "thorns."
3. Bάτος, out of twelve times that it occurs, is once translated "bramble" (Luke 6:44). See Thorns and Thistles.
