Who cut up mallows Or, bitter herbs, as the word seems to import, which shows their extreme necessity; by the bushes Or, by the shrubs, nigh unto which they grew. Or, with the bark of trees, as the Vulgate Latin renders it; and juniper-roots Possibly the word may signify some other plant, for the Hebrews themselves are at a loss for the signification of the names of plants.
