7:3

In 7:3 the author repeated 4:5a exactly. You should translate it in the same way as you translated 4:5a. Refer to the notes on 4:5a for more information. Here in 7:3, the author did not repeat the clause in 4:5c, which says, “grazing among the lilies.” The reason for this difference may be that he already mentioned lilies in 7:2d in a different comparison.
