Pear

From Jewish Encyclopedia (1906)

Pear ( ; Pirus communis):

By: Emil G. Hirsch , Immanuel Benzinger

The pear is mentioned in the Talmud (see Löw, "Aramäische Pflanzennamen," p. 152). It does not seem to have been extensively cultivated. The Septuagint erroneously rendered απίον (= "pear") for "baka"-trees (I Chron. xiv. 14).

E. G. H. I. Be.
