time to,plant and,a_time to,pluck_up planted
Solomon is referring to all of cultivation by naming two major components, a time to plant and a time to tear out what was planted. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [a time for everything involved in cultivation]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נָטֽוּעַ
planted
The expression what was planted is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [what they planted]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
