A Picture of God's Blessing
Commentators explain that this verse uses powerful natural imagery to describe the immense prosperity and influence Israel once enjoyed. The nation, depicted as a vine planted by God, grew so vast that its shadow covered mountains and its branches rivaled the magnificent 'cedars of God'—a term for the majestic cedars of Lebanon. This paints a picture of a nation flourishing completely under God's blessing.
