It holds significant importance in biblical narratives, symbolizing both material wealth and divine provision. The use of timber is mentioned in various contexts, from the construction of sacred spaces to the building of royal palaces. Sources and Types of Timber The Bible identifies several types of trees used for timber, including cedar, cypress, and almug (or algum) wood. Cedar, particularly from Lebanon, is renowned for its quality and durability. In <a href="/1_kings/5-6.htm">1 Kings 5:6</a>, Solomon requests cedar from King Hiram of Tyre for the construction of the Temple, saying, "So give orders that cedars of Lebanon be cut for me. My servants will work with yours, and I will pay you for your servants according to whatever you say." Cypress wood is also noted for its strength and resistance to decay. It was used in the construction of Noah's Ark, as God instructed Noah in <a href="/genesis/6-14.htm">Genesis 6:14</a>, "Make for yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in the ark and coat it with pitch inside and out." While "gopher wood" is a term of uncertain identification, many scholars suggest it could refer to cypress or a similar durable wood. Almug wood, mentioned in <a href="/1_kings/10-11.htm">1 Kings 10:11-12</a>, was brought by the ships of Hiram from Ophir and used for making musical instruments and supports for the Temple. The exact identity of almug wood remains uncertain, but it is often associated with high-quality, exotic timber. Timber in Construction Timber played a crucial role in the construction of significant biblical structures. The Temple of Solomon is one of the most notable examples, where timber was used extensively. In addition to cedar, Solomon used cypress and olive wood for various parts of the Temple, as described in <a href="/1_kings/6-15.htm">1 Kings 6:15-18</a>. The use of fine timber symbolized the grandeur and sanctity of the Temple, reflecting God's majesty. The construction of royal palaces also involved the use of timber. Solomon's own palace, known as the "House of the Forest of Lebanon," was built with cedar pillars, beams, and a roof, as detailed in <a href="/1_kings/7-2.htm">1 Kings 7:2-3</a>. This lavish use of timber underscored the wealth and power of Solomon's reign. Symbolic and Economic Significance Timber in the Bible often symbolizes strength, stability, and prosperity. The cedars of Lebanon, in particular, are frequently used metaphorically to represent majesty and endurance. In <a href="/psalms/92-12.htm">Psalm 92:12</a>, the righteous are compared to these mighty trees: "The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon." Economically, timber was a valuable commodity in the ancient Near East. The trade of timber, especially cedar, was a significant aspect of international relations, as seen in the alliance between Solomon and Hiram. The exchange of timber for wheat and oil (<a href="/1_kings/5-11.htm">1 Kings 5:11</a>) highlights the importance of timber in sustaining political and economic alliances. Timber in Prophetic and Poetic Literature Prophetic and poetic books of the Bible also reference timber, often in symbolic terms. <a href="/isaiah/14-8.htm">Isaiah 14:8</a> speaks of the cedars of Lebanon rejoicing at the downfall of the Babylonian king: "Even the cypresses and cedars of Lebanon exult over you: 'Since you have been laid low, no woodcutter comes against us.'" In <a href="/bsb/ezekiel/31.htm">Ezekiel 31</a>, the Assyrian empire is likened to a cedar in Lebanon, illustrating its former glory and subsequent downfall. This imagery serves as a powerful reminder of the transient nature of earthly power and the sovereignty of God. Overall, timber in the Bible is a multifaceted symbol, representing both the tangible and the spiritual, the temporal and the eternal. Its presence in Scripture underscores the intricate relationship between God's creation and His divine purposes.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
