The cedar of Lebanon is a huge evergreen tree by Middle Eastern standards reaching 90 feet in height, the “King" of all Biblical trees. The wood is astonishingly decay resistant and it is never eaten by insect larvae. It is beautifully majestic and red toned with deep green leaves. Cedars of Lebanon is the strong, fragrant wood used to build David's house, Solomon's house and much of the First Temple. It speaks of strength, permanence, endurance and wholeness.

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a Cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in the old age, they will stay fresh and green. Psalm 92:12-14

The cedar is a type of the Christian, being evergreen, beautiful, aromatic, wide spreading, slow growing, long lived, and having many uses. (Ezek. 31:3-5), long-branched (Psalm 80:10; 92:12; Ezek. 31:6-9), odoriferous Hosea 14:6), durable, and therefore much used for boards, pillars, and ceilings (1 Kings 6:9, 10; 7:2; Jeremiah 22:14), for masts (Ezek. 27:5), and for carved images (Isaiah 44:14).
