In Isaiah 41:19 the Hebrew word tirzah is used, it refers to Cupressus sempervirens, the very trees we get our oil from in Crete, where the early apostles ministered the gospel! That's amazing to me!
I will open rivers on the barren heights, and fountains in the middle of the valleys. I will turn the desert into a pool of water, and the dry land into flowing springs. I will plant cedars in the wilderness, acacias, myrtles, and olive trees. I will set cypresses in the desert, elms and boxwood together, so that all may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this and the Holy One of Israel has created it.” Isaiah 41:19
