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.
