Cedar. Such were esteemed the most magnificent, ver. 6. See 2 Kings vii.
Verse 9
A place permanent and secure, while I have had no fixed abode. (Calmet) --- No more, for a long time: and unless they provoke me by their crimes, as they did afterwards, and were exposed to more severe chastisements. Constant rest is not always expedient. (Tirinus)

Seed, even till Christ shall be born of the Blessed Virgin, of the family of David.
