(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,trees from/more_than the,cedar which/who [is]_in,Lebanon and=unto the,hyssop which/who going_out in,wall and=he/it_spoke on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=cattle/livestock and,on the,bird[s] and,on the=creeping_(thing) and,on the,fish(es) )
The author is referring to all kinds of trees by naming two extremes, the very large cedar that is in Lebanon and the very small hyssop that comes out in the wall. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [trees of all sizes] or [trees of all kinds]

The author is not referring to a specific beast, bird, creeping thing, or fish. He means such creatures in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use expressions that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [about beasts and about birds and about creeping things and about fish]

In some languages, it may not be natural or necessary to repeat the word “about” before each term in this list. If that is the case for your language, you can leave out this word after its first occurrence. Alternate translation: [about beasts and birds and creeping things and fish]
