Matthew 13:5 in other translations
Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.
Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
