2:13a

The fig tree ripens its figs: When the fig tree begins to produce figs, it is another sign that springtime has begun.

The fig tree is one of the most important fruit trees in Palestine. Here the term fig tree refers to fig trees in general. In some languages it is more natural to use a plural form. For example:

The fig trees are producing figs…

In many parts of the world fig trees do not grow or they are unknown. If that is true in your language, you may need to use a general expression that refers to fruit trees. For example:

The fruit trees are ripening their fruit…

ripens: The Hebrew verb that the Berean Standard Bible translates as ripens is rare in the OT. Here it probably refers to the process that causes the figs on a fig tree to become ripe and sweet. It may also refer to the forming of the first figs. Languages have different ways to describe this process. For example:

Figs are beginning to ripen (Good News Translation)
-or-
The fig tree puts forth its figs (Revised Standard Version)
-or-
Fig trees form their new figs

Describe this process in a natural way in your language.

figs: figs are small edible fruits that taste sweet when they ripen. While a fig is growing, it is green, and when it becomes ripe, it becomes dark (purple). The Hebrew word occurs only here in the OT. It refers here to a fig that is not yet ripe.
