6. heath —In Psalms 102:17 ; Isaiah 32:11 ; Habakkuk 3:9 , the Hebrew is translated, "bare," "naked," "destitute"; but as the parallel in Habakkuk 3:9- : is "tree," some plant must be meant of which this is the characteristic epithet ( Habakkuk 3:9- : , Margin ), "a naked tree." ROBINSON translates, "the juniper tree," found in the Arabah or Great Valley, here called "the desert," south of the Dead Sea. The "heath" was one of the plants, according to PLINY (13.21; 16.26), excluded from religious uses, because it has neither fruit nor seed, and is neither sown nor planted. not see . . . good — ( Job 20:17 ). salt land — ( Job 20:17- : ), barren ground. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
