Ezekiel 31:5

Context

31:5 Therefore it grew taller than all the trees of the field;

its boughs grew large and its branches grew long,

because of the plentiful water in its shoots. 1 

Ezekiel 31:8

Context

31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not eclipse it,

nor could the fir trees 2  match its boughs;

the plane trees were as nothing compared to its branches;

no tree in the garden of God could rival its beauty.

1 tn Heb “when it sends forth.” Repointing the consonants of the Masoretic text would render the proposed reading “shoots” (cf. NRSV).

2 tn Or “cypress trees” (cf. NASB, NLT); NIV “pine trees.”
