# General Information:

|
Yahweh's parable about the cedar continues.
|
|
|
|
# when I threw it down to Sheol with those who went down into the pit
|
|
|
|
Here "threw it down to Sheol" is an idiom that means to kill. "The pit" refers to the grave; because the grave was thought to be the entrance to the world of the dead, the pit also represents that world. See how you translated this in [Ezekiel 31:14](./13.md). AT: "when I killed the cedar and it went to Sheol with everyone else that is dead" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]]).

# in the lowest parts of the earth
|
|
|
|
"that were already deep down in the ground." This is an idiom. AT: "that had already died and are now in Sheol" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# the choicest and best trees of Lebanon; the trees that drank the waters
|
|
|
|
"the best trees of Lebanon that everyone would want; trees that got a lot of water." This is describing the trees of Eden that were in the lowest parts of the earth.
|
|
|
|
# the choicest
|
|
|
|
This is something that everyone would want because it is very good.
