Almond       a native of Syria and Palestine. In form, blossoms, and fruit it       resembles the peach tree. Its blossoms are of a very pale pink       colour, and appear before its leaves. Its Hebrew name, _shaked_,       signifying "wakeful, hastening," is given to it on account of       its putting forth its blossoms so early, generally in February,       and sometimes even in January. In Eccl. 12:5, it is referred to       as illustrative, probably, of the haste with which old age       comes. There are others, however, who still contend for the old       interpretation here. "The almond tree bears its blossoms in the       midst of winter, on a naked, leafless stem, and these blossoms       (reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning) seem at the time of       their fall exactly like white snow-flakes. In this way the       almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age, with its       silvery hair and its wintry, dry, barren, unfruitful condition."       In Jer. 1:11 "I see a rod of an almond tree [shaked]...for I       will hasten [shaked] my word to perform it" the word is used as       an emblem of promptitude. Jacob desired his sons (Gen. 43:11) to       take with them into Egypt of the best fruits of the land,       almonds, etc., as a present to Joseph, probably because this       tree was not a native of Egypt. Aaron's rod yielded almonds       (Num. 17:8; Heb. 9:4). Moses was directed to make certain parts       of the candlestick for the ark of carved work "like unto       almonds" (Ex. 25:33, 34). The Hebrew word _luz_, translated       "hazel" in the Authorized Version (Gen. 30:37), is rendered in       the Revised Version "almond." It is probable that _luz_ denotes       the wild almond, while _shaked_ denotes the cultivated variety.
