mallows.The Hebrew {malluäch,} in Arabic, {malluch,} and in Syriac {mallucho,} is probably the [Lalima or Lalimos] of the Greeks, and {halimus} of the Romans, which Dioscorides describes as a kind of bramble, without thorns, the leaves of which are boiled and eaten.

juniper roots.The Hebrew {rothem,} in Arabic, {ratim,} and in Spanish, {retama,} most probably signifies the {genista} or broom, which is very abundant in the deserts of Arabia.

the nettles.{Charul} probably denotes some kind of briar or bramble: so Vulgate renders it by {spina} or {sentis,} (Pr 24:31. Zep 2:9.) Celsius and Scheuchzer are inclined to think it the {paliurus,} a shrub growing sometimes to a considerable height in desert places. "One of the inconveniences of the vegetable thickets of Egypt is," says Denon, "that it is difficult to remain in them, as nine tenths of the trees and plants are armed with inexorable thorns, which suffer only an unquiet enjoyment of the shadow which is so constantly desirable."

they pierced.The textual reading is {kaäri,} "as a lion my hands and feet;" but several MSS., read {kâroo,} and others {karoo} in the margin, which affords the reading adopted by our translators. So the LXX. [oryxan cheiras mou kai podas,] so also the Vulgate, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic; and as all the Evangelists so quote the passage, and apply it to the crucifixion of Christ, there seems scarcely the shadow of a doubt that this is the genuine reading; especially when it is considered, that the other contains no sense at all. The whole difference lies between [vâv] {wav} and [yôwd,] {yood,} which might easily be mistaken for each other.
