Acacia Tree

These trees are conspicuous in the desert with their often slanted, flat tops. The wood is hard, very heavy, indestructible by insects, and has a fine, beautiful grain. It is brownish-orange in color. In Exodus chapters 25-27, the Israelites used the wood of the Acacia to build the Ark of the Covenant, the bread table, altars, pillars, poles and boards for the tabernacle in the wilderness.Leggi altro
