·Your tents are beautiful [L How beautiful/fair are your tents], people of Jacob!
    ·So are your homes [L Your dwellings], Israel!
Your tents spread out like ·valleys [wadis],
    like gardens beside a river.
They are like ·spices [L aloes] planted by the Lord,
    like cedar trees growing by the water.
Israel’s water buckets will always ·be full [or flow],
    and their ·crops [L seed] will have plenty of water.
Their king will be greater than Agag [C perhaps a dynastic name of the Amalekites (Ex. 17:8–13); 1 Sam. 15:7–9, 32–33];
    their kingdom will be very great.
