(Occurrence 0) Assyria was a cedar
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! ʼAshshūr cedar in/on/at/with,Lebanon beautiful_of branches and,forest shade and,great_of height and=between clouds she/it_was top_of,its )
In this parable, God speaks about Assyria as if it were a great tree to emphasize how great and powerful the Assyrians were. This parable continues until 31:9. Alternate translation: “Assyria was like a cedar”
(Occurrence 0) the branches formed its treetop
(Some words not found in UHB: see/lo/see! ʼAshshūr cedar in/on/at/with,Lebanon beautiful_of branches and,forest shade and,great_of height and=between clouds she/it_was top_of,its )
Some versions of the Bible translate this as “the top of the tree was in the clouds.” Alternate translation: “its top was above the branches of the other trees”
31:1-18 Ezekiel called on the Egyptians to compare themselves to Assyria, which was like a great tree in Eden (31:9). If that tree was felled and sent down to the underworld, how did Egypt, whose glory could never compare to Assyria’s, think it could stand?

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.
