And when it is sown, it comes up and becomes greater than all the plants, and produces great branches, so as to enable the birds of the heaven to dwell.
As the apple among the trees of the forest, so is my Beloved among the sons. I delighted in His shadow, and I sat down; and His fruit was sweet to my palate.
And a Man shall be a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place; like the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
I will plant it in a high mountain of Israel. And it will bear boughs and produce fruit and will become a majestic cedar. And every bird of every wing shall dwell under it; they shall dwell in the shadow of its branches.
which indeed is smaller than all the seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and dwell in its branches.
