ALMONDIBLATHAIM - A>@ - (concealing the two cakes), one of the latest stations of the Israelites between Dibon-gad and the mountains of Abarim kjv@Numbers:33:46-47) It is probably identical with Beth-diblathaim.

ALMOND TREE; ALMOND - A>@ - This word is found in kjv@Genesis:43:11; kjv@Exodus:25:33-34 kjv@Exodus:37:19-20; kjv@Numbers:17:8; kjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5; kjv@Jeremiah:1:11) in the text of the Authorized Version. It is invariably represented by the same Hebrew word, shaked meaning hasten. kjv@Jeremiah:1:11-12) The almond tree is a native of Asia and North Africa, but it is cultivated in the milder parts of Europe." It resembles the peach tree in form, blossom and fruit. It is in fact only another species of the same genus." The height of the tree is about 12 or 14 feet; the flowers are pink, and arranged for the most part in pairs, the leaves are long, ovate, with a serrated margin and an acute point. The covering of the fruit is down and succulent, enclosing the hard shell which contains the kernel. It is this but for which the tree is chiefly valued. It is curious to observe, in connection with the almond bowls of the golden candlestick, that, in the language of lapidaries, almonds are pieces of rock crystal, even now used in adorning branch candlesticks.

Almond @ a native of Syria and Palestine. In form, blossoms, and fruit it resembles the peach tree. Its blossoms are of a very pale pink colour, and appear before its leaves. Its Hebrew name, shaked, signifying "wakeful, hastening," is given to it on account of its putting forth its blossoms so early, generally in February, and sometimes even in January. In kjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5, it is referred to as illustrative, probably, of the haste with which old age comes. There are others, however, who still contend for the old interpretation here. "The almond tree bears its blossoms in the midst of winter, on a naked, leafless stem, and these blossoms (reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of their fall exactly like white snow-flakes. In this way the almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age, with its silvery hair and its wintry, dry, barren, unfruitful condition." In kjv@Jeremiah:1:11 "I see a rod of an almond tree shaked...for I will hasten shaked my word to perform it" the word is used as an emblem of promptitude. Jacob desired his sons kjv@Genesis:43:11) to take with them into Egypt of the best fruits of the land, almonds, etc., as a present to Joseph, probably because this tree was not a native of Egypt. Aaron's rod yielded almonds kjv@Numbers:17:8; kjv@Hebrews:9:4). Moses was directed to make certain parts of the candlestick for the ark of carved work "like unto almonds" kjv@Exodus:25:33-34). The Hebrew word luz, translated "hazel" in the Authorized Version kjv@Genesis:30:37), is rendered in the Revised Version "almond." It is probable that luz denotes the wild almond, while shaked denotes the cultivated variety.
