[4] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

almond
   a native of syria and palestine. in form, blossoms, and fruit it
   resembles the peach tree. its blossoms are of a very pale pink
   colour, and appear before its leaves. its hebrew name, _shaked_,
   signifying "wakeful, hastening," is given to it on account of
   its putting forth its blossoms so early, generally in february,
   and sometimes even in january. in eccl. 12:5, it is referred to
   as illustrative, probably, of the haste with which old age
   comes. there are others, however, who still contend for the old
   interpretation here. "the almond tree bears its blossoms in the
   midst of winter, on a naked, leafless stem, and these blossoms
   reddish or flesh-coloured in the beginning seem at the time of
   their fall exactly like white snow-flakes. in this way the
   almond blossom is a very fitting symbol of old age, with its
   silvery hair and its wintry, dry, barren, unfruitful condition."
   in jer. 1:11 "i see a rod of an almond tree shaked...for i
   will hasten shaked my word to perform it" the word is used as
   an emblem of promptitude. jacob desired his sons gen. 43:11 to
   take with them into egypt of the best fruits of the land,
   almonds, etc., as a present to joseph, probably because this
   tree was not a native of egypt. aaron's rod yielded almonds
   num. 17:8; heb. 9:4. moses was directed to make certain parts
   of the candlestick for the ark of carved work "like unto
   almonds" ex. 25:33, 34. the hebrew word _luz_, translated
   "hazel" in the authorized version gen. 30:37, is rendered in
   the revised version "almond." it is probable that _luz_ denotes
   the wild almond, while _shaked_ denotes the cultivated variety.
