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

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.
