Joshua 17:16

Studie

       

16 And the sons of Joseph say, `The hill is not found to us, and a chariot of iron [is] with every Canaanite who is dwelling in the land of the valley -- to him who [is] in Beth-Shean and its towns, and to him who [is] in the valley of Jezreel.'

Forest

Plants in general stand for facts and ideas, so it makes sense that a forest in the Bible represents a collection or system of external, factual, ideas. This can be a collection on its own, or it can be the collected external knowledge of a church. It can also represent the level of a person's mind where he or she deals with such systems of ideas.

Hosea 2:18

Studie

       

18 In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.
