Lemon (for Citron) - citrus limon for citrus medica - Leviticus 23:40
The valuable health giving properties of citrus fruit were appreciated in very ancient times, in the citron or etrog tree, which is the "goodly fruit" mentioned in Leviticus. First fruits of this tree were offered in thanksgiving to God, as well as first fruits of the grain harvests. The citron fruit is like a large lemon, somewhat elongated, and a sweeter taste.
