☩Identification
The 'teil tree' (KJV) in Isaiah 6:13 is the terebinth (Pistacia terebinthus), a large deciduous tree known for its longevity. Even when felled, its stump can produce new growth. Isaiah used this as a metaphor: though Israel would be devastated, a holy seed would remain like the stump of a terebinth.
