Judges 6:11 terebinth?
Does anyone know why the NKJV uses the word "terebinth" instead of "oak" as in the KJV?
Judges 6:11
KJV - And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
NKJV - Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.
