JUNIPER - J>@ - (Kings:19:4-5; kjv@Job:30:4; kjv@Psalms:120:4) a sort of broom, Genista monosperma, G. raetam of Forskal, answering to the Arabic rethem . It is very abundant in the desert of Sinai, and affords shade and protection, in both heat and storm, to travellers. The rethem is a leguminous plant, and bears a white flower. It is found also in Spain. It is an erect shrub, with no main trunk, but many wand-like, slender branches, and is sometimes twelve feet high. Its use is very great in stopping the sand.

Juniper @ (Heb. rothem), called by the Arabs retem, and known as Spanish broom; ranked under the genus genista. It is a desert shrub, and abounds in many parts of Palestine. In the account of his journey from Akabah to Jerusalem, Dr. Robinson says: "This is the largest and most conspicuous shrub of these deserts, growing thickly in the water-courses and valleys. Our Arabs always selected the place of encampment, if possible, in a spot where it grew, in order to be sheltered by it at night from the wind; and during the day, when they often went on in advance of the camels, we found them not unfrequently sitting or sleeping under a bush of retem to shelter them from the sun. It was in this very desert, a day's journey from Beersheba, that the prophet Elijah lay down and slept beneath the same shrub" (kjvKings:19:4-5). It afforded material for fuel, and also in cases of extremity for human food kjv@Psalms:120:4; kjv@Job:30:4). One of the encampments in the wilderness of Paran is called Rithmah, i.e., "place of broom" kjv@Numbers:33:18). "The Bedawin of Sinai still burn this very plant into a charcoal which throws out the most intense heat."
