I’ll try again.
An elephant’s tail is utterly incapable of moving like a cedar tree. It is capable of making curling movements, like a dogs tail, a snake, even a rope, but a tree? no.
A cedar remains fairly straight, and erect, bowing slightly about it’s base. If it bows very far it snaps.
Elephants are not native to Arabia; the Syrian elephants were brought in from India as animals of war, and elephants were gone from Egypt well before the rise of the Egyptian empire (predating Job and Abraham).

I do believe you are completely wrong on this. In fact, here is a great video of an elephant's tail swinging like a swaying tree, not curling like a dog's tail or snake or rope.
In fact, I don't think an elephant's tail can curl like a dog or snake; I don't think they have the structure to allow curling (just like cows). Here's a great introduction on the physiology of elephants. The tail is part of the vertebrae and you'll see it's explicitly mentioned that the movement of the vertebrae is limited. An elephant's tail simply does not have the skeletal structure allowing it to curl like a snake or rope.
And the cedar in my front yard (about 110 feet tall) bends quite a bit when we get good stiff winds. As do the other firs and cedars around my house. They bend and sway like that video, and bend a lot. Cedar is actually a good wood for bending as it is soft and very wet and yields a lot before snapping (as opposed to hardwoods like oak and hickory).
In fact, cedar is one of the softest woods out there, used for canoe building and lots of other wood-bending projects because it is so soft and compliant. It takes no moisture to bend relatively thin strips of cedar, and with just the slightest amount of steaming you can bend some amazingly small radii.
