ענפים שטוחים אופייניים לעץ נוי נפוץ זה על זניו הרבים. שישה קשקשים מוצלבים בונים כל אצטרובל. כל קשקש מצויד בבליטה דמוית קרס.

[שאלה]
שם העץ באנגלית הוא Oriental Arborvitae, מה הקשר בין עץ זה לבין ספר בראשית?

What’s the connection between this tree and the Book of Genesis? (The tree’s common name, arborvitae, gives the hint.)

[The fourth face of the cube]
[התשובה לשאלה]
השם arborvitae פירוש "עץ החיים". זה שמו של אחד העצים בגן עדן. לא ידוע אם הכוונה בתנ"ך היא אמנם לעץ זה.

[The Answer to the question]
Arborvitae is Latin for "tree of life" (Hebrew: "etz hayim"), the name of one of the trees in the Garden of Eden. It’s not known whether this species is intended by the Biblical text.
