ATS Bible Dictionary

Willow

A very common tree, which grows in marshy places, Job 40:22 Isaiah 44:4, with a leaf much like that of the olive. God commanded the Hebrews to take branches of the handsomest trees, particularly of the willows of the brook, and to bear them in their hands before the Lord, as a token of rejoicing, at the feast of Tabernacles, Le 23:40.

The "weeping willow," memorable in connection with the mourning Hebrew captives, Psalm 137:2, is a native of Babylonica. The "book of the willows," Isaiah 15:7, on the southern border of Moab, flows into the southeast extremity of the Dead Sea.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

1. (n.) Any tree or shrub of the genus Salix, including many species, most of which are characterized often used as an emblem of sorrow, desolation, or desertion. A wreath of willow to show my forsaken plight. Sir W. Scott. Hence, a lover forsaken by, or having lost, the person beloved, is said to wear the willow.

2. (n.) A machine in which cotton or wool is opened and cleansed by the action of long spikes projecting from a drum which revolves within a box studded with similar spikes; -- probably so called from having been originally a cylindrical cage made of willow rods, though some derive the term from winnow, as denoting the winnowing, or cleansing, action of the machine. Called also willy, twilly, twilly devil, and devil.

3. (v. t.) To open and cleanse, as cotton, flax, or wool, by means of a willow. See Willow, n., 2.
