28:1 Then I went to another place from the desert; towards the east of that mountain [which] I had approached.

28:2 There I beheld choice trees, (32) particularly, [those which produce] the sweet-smelling opiate, frankincense and myrrh; and trees unlike to each other.

(32) Choice trees. Literally, "trees of judgment" (Laurence, p. 35; Knibb, p. 117).

28:3 And over it, above them, was the elevation of the eastern mountain at no great distance.
