  1. The Hebrew has an extra “them,” probably from an accidental of the first letter of the next word

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and it shall rejoice indeed with rejoicing and exulting. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. ⌞They are the ones who⌟1 shall see the glory of Yahweh, the majesty of our God.
