Footnotes

  1. 13 Heb “as valleys they spread forth.”
  2. 14 Or “rows of palms.”
  3. 15 The language seems to be more poetic than precise. N. H. Snaith notes that cedars do not grow beside water; he also connects “aloes” to the eaglewood that is more exotic, and capable of giving off an aroma (Leviticus and Numbers [], 298).
