Question:
I am teaching my class the Prophets, and we are studying about King Solomon's ramp, which led from his house to the temple It was constructed of something called "Coral tree". What could have been used to build a ramp called wood from the Coral tree? Do we know what that is today?

Replies:
Okay, a correction I think, 3rd Book of Kings, Chapter 10: 11-12, "thyine trees"
