probably came from the region where
the old cedars stand, although other
parts of the Lebanon mountains may
have then been covered with woods.
The logs must have been cut in the for
ests, and carried over the mountains,
distance Of 40 or so miles, to the sea-
coast The rafting was done under the
direction Of king Hiram Of Tyre, and
the logs were probably towed down to
Jaffa and thence carried up the noun
tains of Judea to Jerusalem, distance
of about 40 miles. The cedars bear
cones which are about as large as a
goose egg, the leaves or spines of the
cones being solid rather than detached,
as those of our cedars at home. The
wood is whit1sh in color; it is soft and
for building is far inferior to cypress
or pine.
