Numbers 24:6

Context

24:6 They are like 1  valleys 2  stretched forth,

like gardens by the river’s side,

like aloes 3  that the Lord has planted,

and like cedar trees beside the waters.

1 tn Heb “as valleys they spread forth.”

2 tn Or “rows of palms.”

3 sn 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 [NCB], 298).
