Summary:
- The article discusses a study that suggests the biblical "tsori" plant mentioned in the Bible may have been a tree that produced edible seeds, rather than a resin-producing plant as previously thought.
- Researchers analyzed ancient texts and compared them to modern plant species, concluding that the "tsori" plant was likely a type of terebinth tree that produced edible seeds similar to pistachios.
- The findings provide new insights into the plants and resources available to people in the ancient Near East, and how they may have been used and referenced in biblical texts.
