MELONS (ǎbattîhîm, the same word as the Arab. [Note: Arabic.] battîkh, which includes the water-melon (Citrullus vulgaris) as well as other kinds).Num_11:6. Here the water-melon is specially referred to, as it was common in Egypt in ancient times. No fruit is more appreciated in the arid wilderness. Melons flourish in Palestine, especially on the sands S. of Jaffa, and are eaten all over the land, being carried to the towns all through the summer by long strings of camels.

Melons. (Hebrew, abattichim). Melons are mentioned only in Num_11:5. By the Hebrew word, we are probably to understand both the melon, (Cumcumis melo) and the watermelon, (Cucurbita citrullus). The watermelon, which is now extensively cultivated in all hot countries, is a fruit, not unlike the common melon, but the leaves are deeply lobed and gashed; the flesh is pink or white, and contains a large quantity of cold watery juice with out much flavor; the seeds are black.

mel?unz (אבטּחים, 'ăbhaṭṭı̄ḥı̄m; compare Arabic battikh, the ?water melon?; πέπονες, pépones): In Num_11:5, the melon is referred to as common in Egypt, and there can be no doubt that the variety indicated is the watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) which is indigenous in tropical Africa. It has been cultivated in Egypt since the earliest times.
