This term is used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to refer to the cedar tree, maintaining the symbolic and practical connotations found in the Hebrew texts. Usage: The word אָרַז is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the cedar tree, often symbolizing strength, majesty, and beauty. It is frequently mentioned in contexts related to construction, particularly in the building of temples and palaces, due to its desirable qualities. Context: The cedar tree, represented by the Hebrew word אָרַז, holds significant symbolic and practical importance in the biblical narrative. Cedars of Lebanon, in particular, were renowned for their height, strength, and the quality of their wood. These trees were highly valued in ancient times for construction purposes, especially in the building of significant structures such as the Temple of Solomon. The wood's resistance to decay and its pleasant fragrance made it an ideal choice for sacred and royal buildings. In biblical literature, the cedar often symbolizes grandeur and might, as seen in passages that compare the righteous to the flourishing of a cedar (e.g., Psalm 92:12). The cedar's prominence in biblical texts underscores its cultural and economic importance in the ancient Near East. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin see aruz.
