  Dr. Shaw understands {ayil} as the name of the genus,
  including all the species of the deer kind, whether they are
  distinguished by round horns, as the stag, or by flat ones, as
  the fallow deer, or by the smallness of the branches, as the
  roe.

- roe-bucks.
  See note on De 15:22.

- fallow-deer.
  {Yachmur,} rendered {bubalus} by the Vulgate, probably the
  buffalo; and though "the flesh of a buffalo does not seem so
  well tasted as beef, being harder and more coarse," yet in our
  times, "persons of distinction, as well as the common people,
  and even the European merchants, eat a good deal of it, in the
  countries where that animal abounds."  Niebuhr, Descrip. de
  l'Arab p. 146.

VERSE 33 
 - the cedar tree.
  The word {airez,} whence the Chaldee and Syriac {arzo,} and
  the Arabic and Ethiopic {arz,} and Spanish {alerze,}
  unquestionably denotes the cedar; it is thus rendered by the
  LXX. and other versions, [              ,] and by the Vulgate
  {cedrus;} and the inhabitants of mount Lebanon still call it
  {ars.}  The cedar is a large and nobel evergreen tree, and
  grows on the most elevated part of the mountain, is taller
  than the pine, and so thick that five men together could
  scarcely fathom one.  It shoots out its branches at ten or
  twelve feet from the ground; they are large and distant from
  each other, and are perpetually green.  The wood is of a brown
  color, very solid and incorruptible, if preserved from wet.
  The tree bears a small cone, like that of the pine.

   * Nu 24:6 2Ki 19:23 Ps 92:12
- the hyssop.
   * Ex 12:22 Nu 19:18 Ps 51:7 Heb 9:19
