In the Hebrew Bible, Allon Bachuth (Hebrew: אלון בכות; "Oak of Weeping") is an oak near Bethel, at the foot of which Deborah, the wet nurse of Rebecca, was buried (Genesis 35:8).[1]
Additionally, in Judges 4:5, a tree is referred to as the "palm-tree of Deborah," which has been identified by some[who?] with the "Oak of Weeping."[1]
