Bible Verses About Lebanon

These are the nations which ADONAI allowed to remain, in order to put to the test all the people of Isra'el who had not known any of the wars with Kena'an.

This was only so that the generations of Isra'el who had previously known nothing of war might learn about it.

These nations consisted of the five chiefs of the P'lishtim, all the Kena'ani, the Tzidoni, and the Hivi who lived in the hills of the L'vanon between Mount Ba'al-Hermon and the entrance to Hamat.

They stayed there to test whether Isra'el would pay attention to the mitzvot of ADONAI, which, through Moshe, he had ordered their ancestors to obey.

For he built the House of the L'vanon Forest 175 feet long, eighty-seven-and-a-half feet wide and fifty-two-and-a-half feet high, on four rows of cedar posts, with cedar beams on the posts.

It had a roof made of cedar and supported by beams lying on forty-five posts, fifteen in a row.

There were three rows of window openings, placed so that the windows on facing walls were opposite each other at all three levels.

All the doors and doorways were rectangular and opposite each other at all three levels.

I will be like dew to Isra'el; he will blossom like a lily and strike roots like the L'vanon.

His branches will spread out, his beauty be like an olive tree and his fragrance like the L'vanon.

Again they will live in his shade and raise grain; they will blossom like a vine, and its aroma will be like the wine of the L'vanon.
