On all the walls around the temple, inside and out, ¹  he carved ²  cherubs, palm trees, and flowers in bloom.

He carved cherubs, palm trees, and flowers in bloom and plated them with gold, leveled out over the carvings.

Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth!

They press out the olive oil between the rows of olive trees; ¹  they tread the winepresses while they are thirsty. ² 

Let the fields and everything in them celebrate! Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy

The trees of the Lord ¹  receive all the rain they need, ²  the cedars of Lebanon which he planted,

I designed ¹  royal gardens ²  and parks ³  for myself, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.

There will be so few trees left in his forest, a child will be able to count them. ¹ 

I made it beautiful with its many branches; all the trees of Eden, in the garden of God, envied it.

Its porches faced the outer court, and decorative palm trees were on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

Its porches faced the outer court, it had decorative palm trees on its jambs, and its stairway had eight steps.

When I had returned, I noticed ¹  a vast number of trees on the banks of the river, on both sides.

Next I asked the messenger, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the menorah?”

and that they should make a proclamation and disseminate this message ¹  in all their cities and in Jerusalem: ²  “Go to the hill country and bring back olive branches and branches of wild olive trees, myrtle trees, date palms, and other leafy trees to construct temporary shelters, as it is written.”

Then they came to Elim, ¹  where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there by the water.

I will give you your rains in their time so that ¹  the land will give its yield and the trees of the field will produce their fruit. ² 

Your strength will be used up in vain, your land will not give its yield, and the trees of the land ¹  will not produce their fruit.

“‘Any tithe ¹  of the land, from the grain of the land or from the fruit of the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord.

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.

They traveled from Marah and came to Elim; in Elim there are twelve fountains of water and seventy palm trees, so they camped there.
