Lebanon

Illustration of Lebanon

Lebanon is identified as a land lying near Abelsjail, which sits between Lebanon and Seneser. Canaan saw the land of Lebanon extending to the river of Egypt and found it very good, so he dwelt in the land of Lebanon eastward and westward from the border rather than going to his assigned inheritance by the sea.
