lach describes material or produce that is fresh rather than dried, and trees set in contrast to dry ones.

The adjective most often describes cords, rods, or grapes as fresh or not dried; it also marks a tree in passages that contrast a green tree with a dry one.

   In Ezekiel 17:24, the singular form occurs in the declaration that the LORD will "dry up the green tree" while making the dry tree flourish. Ezekiel 21:3 also has the singular form in the announced judgment, though the APB does not isolate its contribution in its rendering of the verse.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the term as "fresh" for rods, cords, and grapes, and as "green" for the tree in Ezekiel 17:24. In Ezekiel 21:3, the translation does not make the adjective's specific contribution identifiable.
