Exegesis
Finally, ṣap-ṣāpāh sā-mō {צַפְצָפָה שָׂמוֹ | ṣap-ṣāpāh sā-mō} ‘willow he placed it’ employs a noun plus perfect form to show the transplanted tree’s establishment. The stepwise progression of coordinated clauses in English mirrors the Hebrew’s detailed depiction of planting and growth.
In context — Ezekiel 17:5
And he took seed from the land and planted it in a field ; he set it by abundant waters and made it grow as a willow.
