When one was cutting him down cedars, Then took he a holm-tree and an oak, And secured them for himself, among the trees of the forest, - He planted a fir-tree and the pouring rain made it grow;

Therefore hath Yahweh cut off from Israel - Head and tail Palm-top and rush, In one day.

And Egypt shall have nothing which can be don Which head or tail palm-top or rush, can do!
