You will also know that your children ¹  will be numerous, and your descendants ²  like the grass of the earth.

My days are coming to an end, ¹  and I am withered like grass.

My heart is parched ¹  and withered like grass, for I am unable ²  to eat food. ³ 

May there be ¹  an abundance ²  of grain in the earth; on the tops ³  of the mountains may it ⁴  sway! ⁵  May its ⁶  fruit trees ⁷  flourish ⁸  like the forests of Lebanon! ⁹  May its crops be as abundant as the grass of the earth!
