Bush
VIEW:46 DATA:01-04-2020
BUSH (seneh, Exo_3:2-4, Deu_33:16).The burning bush has traditionally been supposed to be a kind of bramble (Rubus), of which Palestine has several varieties, but one of the thorny shrubs of Sinai of the acacia family would seem more probable. Sacred bushes and trees are common in Palestine and Arabia. In (or at) the bush in Mat_12:26 || Luk_20:37 = the passage dealing with the burning bush (RV [Note: Revised Version.] in the place concerning the bush).

Exo_3:2. literally, "out of the midst of the bush," namely, that bush of which Moses often spoke to Israel, "the thorny acacia," a pure Egyptian term, sen'eh, Coptic si heno.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
Bush. The Hebrew word, seneh, occurs only in those passages which refer to Jehovah's appearance to Moses, "in the flame of fire in the bush." Exo_3:2-4; Exo_33:16. It is quite impossible to say what kind of thorn bush is intended; but it was probably the acacia, a small variety of the shittim tree, found in the Sinai region.

סנח . This word occurs in Exo_3:2; Exo_3:4, and Deu_33:16, as the name of the bush in which God appeared to Moses. If it be the χιονος mentioned by Dioscorides, it is the white thorn. Celsius calls it the rubus fructicosus. The number of these bushes in this region seems to have given the name to the mountain Sinai. The word נהללים , found only in Isa_7:19, and there rendered bushes. means fruitful pastures.

(1) (סנה, ṣeneh, Exo_3:2-4; Deu_33:16; βάτος, bátos, Mar_12:26; Luk_6:44, ?bramble bush?; Luk_20:37; Act_7:30, Act_7:35. All the Old Testament references and the New Testament references, except Luk_6:44, are to the same ?bush,? namely, Moses' ?burning bush?). From its etymology ṣeneh clearly denotes a ?thorny? plant, as does the corresponding batos in the Septuagint and New Testament. In the Latin versions rubus, i.e. ?bramble,? is used as equivalent. Several varieties of bramble flourish in Palestine, of which the most common is Rubus discolor, but this is not an indigenous plant in Sinai. It is stated by Post that a bush of this plant has been planted by the monks of the Convent of Catherine at Sinai to the rear of the ?Chapel of the Burning Bush.? In spite of tradition there is but little doubt that Moses' ?burning bush? must actually have been a shrub of one of the various thorny acacias, or allied plants, indigenous in the Sinaitic peninsula.
(2) (שׂיח, sı̄aḥ ?plant,? Gen_2:5; ?shrub,? Gen_21:15; ?bush,? Job_30:4, Job_30:7). In the first reference any kind of plant may be meant, but in the other passages the reference is to the low bushes or scrub, such as are found in the desert.
(3) (נהללים, nahălōlı̄m, the King James Version bushes, the Revised Version (British and American) PASTURES, margin ?bushes,? Isa_7:19). The meaning appears to be rather a place for watering flocks, the corresponding Arabic root nahal, having the meaning ?to quench one's thirst,? and the corresponding noun of place, manhal, meaning a watering-place in the desert.

Exo_3:2 (c) This is descriptive of the nation of Israel in which GOD dwelt and yet which suffered from the persecutions of many enemies, yet was not consumed or destroyed.
Deu_33:16 (b) It refers to the unusual character of GOD's presence on the earth as contrasted with the greatness of Heaven.
Luk_6:44 (b) This is descriptive of a small character who never gives out blessing but injures and damages those who come near him.

Bush
(סְנֶה, seneh'; Sept. and N.T. βάτος) occurs in the account of the burning- bush, in which Jehovah manifested himself to Moses at Horeb (Exo_3:2-4; Deu_33:16; 2Es_14:1; 2Es_14:3; Mat_12:26; Act_7:30), and signifies a thorn, more particularly the bramble (q.v.). But Pococke observes that the bramble does not at all grow in these regions. Gesenius states that the Syriac and Arabic word seneh, which is the same as the Hebrew, denotes the senna, folia sennae. We know that this plant is an indigene of Arabia. Rosenmüller inclines to the opinion that the holy bush was of the hawthorn species. Prof. Robinson, in 1838, saw on the mountains of Horeb a willow and two hawthorns growing, with many shrubs, and great quantities of fragrant hyssop and thyme. What particular plant or bush seneh denotes it is difficult to say. See THORN. The professor, while resting at the ancient convent of Sinai, saw the great church. He says, Back of the altar we were shown the chapel covering the place where the burning-bush is said to have stood, now regarded as the most holy spot in the peninsula; and as Moses put off his shoes in order to approach it, so all who now visit it must do the same. The spot is covered with silver, and the whole chapel richly carpeted. Near by they show also the well from which (as they say) Moses watered Jethro's flocks (Researches, 1, 144). SEE BURNING-BUSH.
The Hebrew word rendered bushes in Job_30:4; Job_30:7, is שַׂיחִ(si'ach), and means shrubs in general, as in Gen_2:5; Gen_21:15. The only other word so rendered (נִהֲללַים, nahalolim', margin, commendable trees) in our version of Isa_7:19, signifies pastures.
