Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary

Mountains, and all hills - As being among the loftiest objects of earth, raising their heads highest toward the heavens. Fruitful trees, and all cedars - Fruitful trees, not as distinguished from those which are barren, but as distinguished from forest-trees, those whose nature is that they do not bear fruit. Of the latter, the cedar was the most prominent, and, therefore, is made the representative of the whole. return to 'Top of Page'
