and acquires a cypress24 or an oak.
He gets25 trees from the forest;
he plants a cedar26 and the rain makes it grow.
Footnotes
- 24 It is not certain what type of tree this otherwise unattested noun refers to. Cf. “a holm-tree” ( similar).
- 25 Heb “strengthens for himself,” i.e., “secures for himself” (see 55 אָמֵץ Pi.2).
- 26 Some prefer to emend אֹרֶן (’oren) to אֶרֶז (’erez, “cedar”), but the otherwise unattested noun appears to have an Akkadian cognate, meaning “cedar.” See H. R. Cohen, Biblical Hapax Legomena (), 44–45. I אֹרֶן offers the meaning “laurel.”
