he will blossom like the lily
Israel will flourish as a result. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
and take root like a cedar in Lebanon
Israel will be established by Yahweh's love. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
his beauty will be like the olive trees

and his fragrance like the cedars in Lebanon
