 * the nettles.
   {Charul} probably denotes some kind of briar or bramble:  so
   Vulgate renders it by {spina} or {sentis,} (Pr 24:31.  Zep
   2:9.)  Celsius and Scheuchzer are inclined to think it the
   {paliurus,} a shrub growing sometimes to a considerable height
   in desert places.  "One of the inconveniences of the vegetable
   thickets of Egypt is," says Denon, "that it is difficult to
   remain in them, as nine tenths of the trees and plants are
   armed with inexorable thorns, which suffer only an unquiet
   enjoyment of the shadow which is so constantly desirable."
