Description of Botanical Coloring Page: The olive  frequently  mentioned  in  Scripture,  is Still  extensively  cultivated  in  Palestine  because of  its  valuable  fruit.  The  olive  is  a  small  tree, seldom  being  more  than  twenty  feet  high.  It has  oblong  smooth  leaves,  which  are  whitish  underneath, and  small  white  flowers,  and  a  pulpy fruit  containing  a  hard  stone.  The  valuable  oil is  expressed  from  the  fruit.  The  tree  is  very slow  in  growth,  and  the  wood  is  finely  grained, of  a  rich  amber  color,  beautifully  clouded  and veined.  The  two  golden  cherubim  on  the  ark  of the  covenant  in  the  Temple  (1  Kings  6.  2.S),  the doors  of  the  oracle  (ver.  31)  and  the  doorposts of  the  Temple  were  made  of  it  (ver.  33).
