Allon-bachuth

Allon-bachuth [N] [H]

oak of weeping, a tree near Bethel, at the spot where Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, was buried ( Genesis 35:8 ). Large trees, from their rarity in the plains of Palestine, were frequently designated as landmarks. This particular tree was probably the same as the "palm tree of Deborah" ( Judges 4:5 ).
