Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 23 The personification adds to the comparison with people—the tree is credited with the sense of smell to detect the water.
  2. 24 The sense of “flourish” for this verb is found in Ps 92:12, 13[13, 14], and Prov 14:11. It makes an appropriate parallel with “bring forth boughs” in the second half.
  3. 25 Heb “and will make.”
