Lebanon
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).
The context
16Your perversity! Is the potter to be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me,” and the vessel say of its potter, “He has no understanding”?
