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).
