which was called . Michaelis says , "The tradition that giants formerly dwelt in this part , still remains in Arabia , only that it makes them rather taller than Moses does Og , and calls the land in which they lived , not Bashan , but Hadrach , which name occurs in Zechariah 9 . 1. I received this information from the verbal communication of a credible Arab , who was born on the other side of Jordan , about three-days journey from Damascus.

Lebanon . Lebanon is a long chain of limestone mountains , extending from near the coast of the Mediterranean on the west to the plains of Damascus on the east , and forming the extreme northern boundary of the Holy Land. It is divided into two principal ridges , running parallel to each other in a north-north-east direction; the most westerly of which was properly called Libanus , and the easterly Anti-Libanus . the Hebrews did not make this distinction. It is computed to be fifteen or sixteen hundred fathoms in height. They are by no means barren , but are almost all well cultivated and well peopled; their summits being in many parts level , and forming extensive plains , in which are sown corn and all kinds of pulse. Vineyards , and plantations of olive , mulberry , and fig trees , are also cultivated in terraces formed by walls; and the soil of the declivities and hollows is most excellent , and produces abundance of corn , oil , and wine.
