The following is the results of your search for BOX-TREE.
Box-tree: (Heb. teashshur), mentioned in
(Isaiah 60:13; 41:19) was, according to
some, a species of cedar growing in Lebanon. The words of
(Ezekiel 27:6)
literally translated are, "Thy benches they have made of ivory, the
daughter of the ashur tree," i.e., inlaid with ashur wood. The ashur
is the box-tree, and accordingly the Revised Version rightly reads
"inlaid in box wood." This is the Buxus sempervirens of botanists. It
is remarkable for the beauty of its evergreen foliage and for the
utility of its hard and durable wood.
