Ezekiel 31:5

Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

Therefore his height {H6967} was exalted {H1361} above all the trees {H6086} of the field {H7704}, and his boughs {H5634} were multiplied {H7235}, and his branches {H6288} became long {H748} because of the multitude {H7227} of waters {H4325}, when he shot forth {H7971}.

So it grew taller than any other tree, its branches grew in number and spread far and wide, for it had plenty of water to make them grow.

Therefore it towered higher than all the trees of the field. Its branches multiplied, and its boughs grew long as it spread them out because of the abundant waters.

Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot them forth.
