The Rabbins, however, believe bacha signifies the mulberry-tree; with whom Ursinus agrees. It more probably denotes a large shrub which the Arabs still call baca, from its distilling an odoriferous gum, from bachah to distil, as tears. Of this opinion is Celsius, who quotes a passage from Abulfadi, who describes it as a balsam shrub, having longish leaves, and bearing a large fruit with an acrid taste. M. Forskal mentions a tree by the name of beca, with leaves rather ovated, smooth, entire. Its berries are poisonous to the sheep. sound 2Kgs 7:6 thou shalt bestir Judg 4:14, Judg 7:15; 1Sam 14:9-12; 1Chr 14:15; Phil 2:11-12 Geba 1Chr 14:16, Gibeon Gazer Josh 16:10
