| NET Notes |
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). |
