Box-tree
    (Heb. teashshur), mentioned in Isa. 60:13; 41:19, was, according
    to some, a species of cedar growing in Lebanon. The words of
    Ezek. 27:6 literally translated are, "Thy benches they have made
    of ivory, the daughter of the ashur tree," i.e., inlaid with
    ashur wood. The ashur is the box-tree, and accordingly the
    Revised Version rightly reads "inlaid in box wood." This is the
    Buxus sempervirens of botanists. It is remarkable for the beauty
    of its evergreen foliage and for the utility of its hard and
    durable wood.
