Description of the Botanical Coloring Page: The pomegranate is one of the favorite fruits of Egypt, and a witness of the goodness of the land to which the Jews were journeying (Deuteronomy 8: 8). It was, and continues to be, extensively cultivated in Palestine. It is a small tree from fifteen to twenty-five feet high, with oblong leaves, scarlet flowers, and round fruit the size of a large apple. A hard rind of a yellowish color encloses the numerous seeds, which are attached to a white membrane that is extremely bitter. Kach seed is enclosed in a cool, delicious, red pulp, which makes the pomegranate a highly-valued fruit in hot countries. The hem of the high -priest's robe was ornamented with figures of pomegranates, executed in blue, purple and scarlet, and alternating with golden bells (Exodus 28: 33, 34). The pomegranate was employed for the decorative carving on the capitals of the columns of the porch of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 7: 18). Rimmon, the Hebrew word for "pomegranate," is found in the names of several places in Palestine.
