זַרְזִ֣יר מָתְנַ֣יִם

one_girded_of loins

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of bird, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “strutting roosters” or “a male bird that struts proudly”

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

אַלְק֥וּם עִמּֽ⁠וֹ

If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
