(Proverbs 15:19) the word is rendered "thorn" (Heb. hedek, "stinging"), supposed by some to be what is called the "apple of Sodom" (q.v.).

2. (Ezekiel 28:24) sallon, properly a "prickle," such as is found on the shoots of the palm tree.

4. (Isaiah 5:6; 7:23-25) etc., frequently used to denote thorny shrubs in general. In (Isaiah 10:17; 27:4) it means troublesome men.

5. In (Hebrews 6:8) the Greek word (tribolos) so rendered means "three-pronged," and denotes the land caltrop, a low throny shrub resembling in its spikes the military "crow-foot." Comp.

(Matthew 7:16) "thistle."
