    Like a great ship they have made you from the finest firs of Senir;
        they took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a noble mast.
    They brought oaks from Bashan and made your oars.

        and inlaid it with ivory!
    Your sail was made of fine linen from Egypt, embroidered by hand;
        your blue and purple awning was tinted with dyes imported from the coasts of Elishah.
