Sense 1: of citron wood

Semantic entry: 3.63

Semantic domains: Plants

Subdomains: Wood and Wood Products

Definition: pertaining to being made or consisting of citron wood (that is, from a citron tree, a coniferous tree related to cypresses, pines, and cedars; up to 9 m high; scaly leaves, reddish brown bark, sweet-smelling wood)

Notes: The citron tree belongs to the citrus family of plants, and it produces a pale yellow fruit somewhat larger than a lemon, the rind of which is often candied. In RV REV 18:12 · LV REV 18:12 · Read together REV 18:12, however, the focus is upon the fine quality of the wood, and since citron trees are not known in many parts of the world, it may be useful to translate πᾶν ξύλον θύϊνον simply as ‘all kinds of valuable wood.’
