For the early authors of the Bible coming in from the desert, Lebanon was a paradise of forests and gardens, "of fabulous springs of water, a land flowing with milk and honey."

Olive trees, plantains, orange-trees, vines, apple-trees, fig-trees, almond-trees, cherry-trees, strawberry plants, and great expanses of forests of evergreen oaks, larches, Mediterranean pines, and above all giant cedars celebrated by the poets: 'To what shall I compare your greatness? Surely, to a cedar of Lebanon with noble branches, thickset needles and lofty trunk... It was the envy of every tree in Eden, in the garden of God' (Ezekiel XXXI).

'May I not go across and see this prosperous land beyond the Jordan, this prosperous country of hills, and Lebanon?' (Deuteronomy III, 25, Moses on Mount Nebo); 'Come from Lebanon, my promised bride, come from Lebanon, come on your way' (Canticle of the Canticles).
