Theological / Devotional

From Lebanon. The logs were probably floated down the mountains or let down on slides. Thence they were transported to the sea and collected into floats or rafts and conveyed to Joppa (2 Chron. 2:16), 34 mi. (54.4 km.) from Jerusalem. In the building of the second Temple, the same course was followed (Ezra 3:7).
