shittah tree
Shittah tree〔Isaiah 41:19〕 was used in the Tanakh to refer to the ''acacia'' (Hebrew: ''שטה''). ''Acacia albida'', ''Acacia seyal'', ''Acacia tortilis'' and ''Acacia iraqensis'' can be found growing wild in the Sinai desert and the Jordan valley.
During the Exodus, the ancient Israelites employed shittah wood in making the various parts of the Tabernacle and of the Ark of the Covenant. It was the acacia or mimosa (''Acacia nilotica'' and ''A. seyal'').
"The wild acacia (''Mimosa nilotica''), under the name of ''sunt'', everywhere represents the ''seneh'', or ''senna'', of the burning bush. A slightly different form of the tree, equally common under the name of ''seyal'', is the ancient ''shittah'', or, as more usually expressed in the plural form, the ''shittim'', of which the Tabernacle was made."〔Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, ''Sinai and Palestine''.〕
