Néhémie 8:15

And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written. Avancez vers la monture et récupérez ... des branches de palmier ... Il en ressort que des palmiers poussaient dans le voisinage immédiat de Jérusalem, probablement sur le mont des Oliviers (cf. Jean 12:13).
