This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
scent - exhalation, which, rather than the humidity of water, causes the tree to germinate. In the antithesis to man the tree is personified, and volition is poetically ascribed to it.
like a plant - “as if newly planted” [Umbreit]; not as if trees and plants were a different species.
