Teil-tree
is properly the linden-tree, or Tilia Europcaus of botanists. It is mentioned in the A. V., in Isa 6:13, as a teil tree, and as an oak; but as in the Hebrew the word is , elh, usually rendered oak, by many supposed to be the terebinth, or turpentine-tree, there is no reason for giving it a different signification in this from what it has in other passages. SEE OAK.

(an old name for the lime-tree, the tilia), Isa. 6:13, the terebinth, or turpentine-tree, the Pistacia terebinthus of botanists.

“The terebinth of Mamre, or its lineal successor, remained from the days of Abraham till the fourth century of the Christian era, and on its site Constantine erected a Christian church, the ruins of which still remain.”
This tree “is seldom See n in clumps or groves, never in forests, but stands isolated and weird-like in some bare ravine or on a hill-side where nothing else towers above the low brushwood” (Tristram).

Teil Tree
The Hebrew word is elah, and is supposed to be the terebinth, though it is often translated ‘oak.’ In Isa 6:13 ‘the oak’ (allon ) is mentioned as well as the elah, different trees are therefore doubtless indicated by the two Hebrew words. It is now generally supposed that allon refers to the oak, and elah to the terebinth, the Pistacia terebinthus.
