A) INTRODUCTION

 

 

In an interesting note, there are 235 plants mentioned in the Bible.  About 200 of them are now in oil form.

 

EZEKIEL 47:12 = “And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed:  it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary:  and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”
