Yahweh's parable about the cedar continues.
|
|
|
|
## Its great height was more than any of the other trees in the field ##
|
|
|
|
"The cedar was taller than any of the other trees of the field"
|
|
|
|
## its branches became very many ##
|
|
|
|
"it grew very many branches"
|
|
|
|
## because of many waters as they grew ##
|
|
|
|
"because it had a lot of water"
|
|
|
|
## Every bird of the heavens nested in its branches ##
|
|
|
|
"All kinds of birds that fly in the sky made nests in its branches"
|
|
|
|
## while every living thing of the field gave birth to its young under its foliage ##
|
|
|
|
"and all of the creatures that live in the field gave birth under the cedar's branches"
|
|
|
|
## All of the many nations lived under its shade ##
|
|
|
|
"all of the powerful nations lived in its shade" or "all of the great nations lived in the shade of that tree" (UDB)
|
|
|
|
## It was beautiful in its greatness and the length of its branches ##
|
|
|
|
"It was beautiful because it was very big and its branches were very long" |
