The glory of Lebanon
This phrase refers to the renowned beauty and majesty of the forests of Lebanon, particularly its cedars, which were highly prized in the ancient world. The Hebrew word for "glory" here is "kāḇôḏ," which signifies weightiness, honor, and splendor. Lebanon's cedars were used in the construction of Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 5:6), symbolizing strength and divine craftsmanship. In a spiritual sense, this phrase suggests that the beauty and majesty of God's creation will be brought to Jerusalem, enhancing its splendor and signifying God's blessing and presence.

will come to you
This indicates a movement or transfer of something valuable towards the recipient, in this case, Jerusalem or Zion. The Hebrew verb "bô'" implies arrival or coming, often used in prophetic literature to denote the fulfillment of God's promises. This movement signifies the gathering of nations and resources to God's holy city, reflecting the eschatological hope of restoration and divine favor.

the cypress, the plane, and the pine
These trees are mentioned alongside the cedars of Lebanon, each representing different aspects of beauty and utility. The cypress, known for its durability and pleasant aroma, symbolizes eternal life and resurrection. The plane tree, with its broad leaves, represents shelter and protection. The pine, often associated with strength and resilience, signifies endurance. Together, these trees illustrate the diverse and abundant blessings that God will bestow upon His people.

to adorn the place of My sanctuary
The word "adorn" comes from the Hebrew "pā'ar," meaning to beautify or glorify. This phrase emphasizes the transformation and beautification of God's dwelling place, the temple. The sanctuary, or "miqdāš," is the holy place where God's presence resides. This adornment signifies not only physical beauty but also spiritual renewal and the manifestation of God's glory among His people.

and I will glorify the place of My feet
The phrase "place of My feet" is a poetic expression referring to the temple or the earth as God's footstool (Isaiah 66:1). The Hebrew word for "glorify" is "kāḇaḏ," which means to honor or make glorious. This promise indicates that God Himself will enhance the splendor of His dwelling, ensuring that His presence is evident and revered. It reflects the ultimate hope of God's kingdom being established on earth, where His glory is fully revealed and acknowledged by all nations.

(13) The glory of Lebanon . . .--The prophet sees in the new Jerusalem a revival of the glories of the days of Solomon. The cedars of Lebanon, and other trees of the forest, are to furnish timber for its buildings, or even to be planted in the courts of the Temple, or in its open places and streets (Psalm 52:8; Psalm 92:12-13; Isaiah 35:2).

The box is probably, as in Isaiah 41:19, a species of cedar.

The place of my feet is clearly parallel with the "sanctuary" of the previous clause. So the word "footstool" is used of the Temple in Psalm 99:5; Psalm 132:7. . . .

Verse 13. - The glory of Lebanon shall come (comp. Isaiah 35:2; Isaiah 41:19). Considered as imagery, the representation is that the barren hills which stand about Jerusalem shall, in the new state of things, be decked with tall and beautiful forest trees, all the sylvan scenery of Lebanon being transported to Southern Palestine, so as to encompass the city of God with a garden as delightful as that of Eden. The spiritual meaning is that graces of all kinds shall abound in and around the holy city, and shall make it beautiful and glorious. The fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together (comp. Isaiah 41:19, where the same words occur in the same order; and, for the trees intended, see the comment on that passage). To beautify the place of my sanctuary. Not with "avenues of cedars and plane trees leading up to it" (Delitzsch), which was a style of ornamentation quite unknown to the lie-brews; but with groves, and thickets, and sylvan glades, and wooded slopes all around it, as round the Syrian temples in the Lebanon. The place of my feet. The Jewish temple, as the special place of God's presence upon earth, was frequently termed "God's footstool" (1 Chronicles 28:2; Psalm 99:5; Psalm 132:7; Lamentations 2:1). He that towers above the heavens had there set his foot. The metaphor is transferred to the renovated Zion.
