The writer wants his words to be few and to make good poetry. The full sentence with the information filled in would be:
> > He makes Lebanon skip like a calf and **he makes** Sirion **skip** like a young ox.

> > To Titus…**May you receive** grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our savior.
> > To Titus … **May you receive** grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
