ecclesiastes 2:6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

ecclesiastes 2:6 I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees.

6. pools--artificial, for irrigating the soil (Ge 2:10; Ne 2:14; Isa 1:30). Three such reservoirs are still found, called Solomon's cisterns, a mile and a half from Jerusalem.
wood that bringeth forth--rather, "the grove that flourisheth with trees" [LOWTH].

ecclesiastes 2:6 I made ponds of water for myself from which to irrigate a forest of growing trees.
