Allon-bachuth

Allon-bachuth - oak of weeping, a tree near Bethel, at the spot where Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, was buried according to the Book of Genesis 35:8.

Large trees, from their rarity in the plains of Palestine, were frequently designated as landmarks.

This particular tree was probably the same as the "palm tree of Deborah" (Judg. 4:5).
