“And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.”
Even Lebanon is not enough for fuel, nor its beasts sufficient for a burnt offering, establishing that even the greatest natural resources are insufficient for an offering worthy of God. The oracle uses the examples of Lebanon and its abundant forests and animals to suggest the inadequacy of creation to honor God appropriately. The statement emphasizes God's transcendence and the impossibility of human actions adequately expressing divine worship.
