27:5 They crafted 1 all your planks out of fir trees from Senir; 2
they took a cedar from Lebanon to make your mast.
31:8 The cedars in the garden of God could not eclipse it,
nor could the fir trees 3 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 “built.”
2 tn Perhaps the hull or deck. The term is dual, so perhaps it refers to a double-decked ship.
3 tn Or “cypress trees” (cf. NASB, NLT); NIV “pine trees.”
