Places of the Bible
Allon-bacuth
Oak of weeping, a tree near Bethel, at the spot where Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, was buried ([Gen. 35:8](/gen#Gen.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](/judg#Judg.4.5)).
