Cypress

Cypress [N] [E]

(Heb. tirzah ). The Hebrew word is found only in ( Isaiah 44:14 ) We are quite unable to assign any definite rendering to it. The true cypress is a native of the Taurus. The Hebrew word points to some tree with a hard grain, and this is all that can be positively said of it.
