It was anciently very abundant in Egypt .
The Egyptians made garments and shoes and various utensils of it .
It was used for the construction of the ark of Moses (
Ex .

The root portions of the stem were used for food .
The inside bark was cut into strips ,
which were sewed together and dried in the sun ,
forming the papyrus used for writing .
It is no longer found in Egypt ,
but grows luxuriantly in Palestine ,
in the marshes of the Huleh ,
and in the swamps at the north end of the Lake of Gennesaret .
