Smith's Bible Dictionary

Cypress

(Heb. tirzah). The Hebrew word is found only in (Isaiah 44:14) We are quite unable to assign any definite rendering to it. The true cypress is a native of the Taurus. The Hebrew word points to some tree with a hard grain, and this is all that can be positively said of it.

ATS Bible Dictionary

Cypress

An evergreen tree, resembling in form and size the Lombardy poplar. Its wood is exceedingly durable, and seems to have been used for making idols, Isaiah 44:14. The cypress is thought to be intended in some of the passages where "fir-tree" occurs, 2 Samuel 6:5, etc.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

(Hebrews tirzah, "hardness"), mentioned only in Isaiah 44:14 (R.V., "holm tree"). The oldest Latin version translates this word by ilex, i.e., the evergreen oak, which may possibly have been the tree intended; but there is great probability that our Authorized Version is correct in rendering it "cypress." This tree grows abundantly on the mountains of Hermon. Its wood is hard and fragrant, and very durable. Its foliage is dark and gloomy. It is an evergreen (Cupressus sempervirens). "Throughout the East it is used as a funereal tree; and its dark, tall, waving plumes render it peculiarly appropriate among the tombs."

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

(n.) A coniferous tree of the genus Cupressus. The species are mostly evergreen, and have wood remarkable for its durability.
