Reference information:
Jericho Balm tree (Balanities aegypticus) - http://www.methusalahtree.org/tree/
Opobalsami.] In Gen. xxxvii. 25; xliii. 11, we find that Canaan produced balm; it is now found only in Arabia Petraea. “The balm-tree (balsami arbor) grew,” says Origen, “in Judaea, only within a space of about twenty acres, but after the Romans became masters of the country it was propagated over extensive hills. Its stem is similar to that of the vine, and its leaves to those of rue, but whiter and always remaining on the tree.” The word balsamum properly signifies the tree, and opobalsamum (that is, o)pos tou= balsa/mou, as o)popa/nac is o)pos tou= pa/nakos, juice of all-heal, Diosc. iii. 48) the juice; xylobalsamum means the wood of the tree. Justin, however, contrary to the practice of other writers, uses opobalsamum for the tree, and balsamum for the juice.—Lemaire.
