## In Jewish tradition

It is a poetic word meaning lovely or splendid. In Daniel it names the land of Israel, "the beauteous land".

**Interpretation.** Tradition treats the "beauteous land" as the land of Israel, chosen by God. The "beauteous holy mountain" is read as Zion, where the Temple stood.
