Exegesis
The Qal perfect nāṭaʿ {נָטַע | nāṭaʿ} ‘he planted’ introduces explicit divine agency, with YHWH {יְהוָה | YHWH} immediately preceding it, underscoring covenantal initiative. The coordinated structure and chiastic water imagery reinforce themes of fertility and sustained provision.
In context — Numbers 24:6
Like valleys they are stretched out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes the LORD has planted, like cedars beside the waters .
