Today: Lebanon (Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon ranges)
A mountain range north of Israel, famous for its cedars; today it gives its name to the country of Lebanon.
Solomon asked for cedar wood from Lebanon to build the temple (1 Kgs 5:6). The Psalms compare the righteous to its cedars (Ps 92:12).
16You are filled with dishonor rather than glory; drink you too, and show yourself uncircumcised; the cup of the right hand of YHWH will come around to you, and disgrace will be on your glory.
17 · This verse (above)
18What does a carved image profit when its maker has carved it, a cast image and a teacher of falsehood, that the maker of his work trusts in it, to make mute idols?
