Isaiah 44:4 And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. Branches of the garab, which R. Kiepert brought with him, according to Wetzstein's indication of the place, and which O. Kersten, the secretary of the Imperial German Consulate, sent to the Royal Herbarium at Berlin, show that the garab is the Oriental poplar, Populus Euphratica (Olivier), whose undergrowth may easily on superficial observation be confounded with willow bushes; but it is distinguished from the willow by its leaves, which, although small, are almost quite smooth-edged, and not saw-like. (F. Delitzsch, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.WEB: and they will spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses. |
