Exegesis
The geographic phrase behar merom yisra’el {בְּהַר מְר֤וֹם יִשְׂרָאֵל | bə-hár mə-rōm yis-rā-ʼēl} ‘on the high mountain of Israel’ functions as spatial emphasis, highlighting elevation and centrality.
In context — Ezekiel 17:23
On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, and it will send out branches and produce fruit and will become a mighty cedar ; and beneath it will dwell every bird of every wing, and in the shade of its branches they will nest.
