Re: Oh, I see.
It depends. What is the definition of a "chicken egg"? Is a chicken egg an egg that is laid by a chicken, or an egg that produces a chicken? In the former case, the chicken came first; in the latter case, the egg came first.

"He makes his tail stiff like a cedar."

That's a euphemism for "penis".
​
Interestingly, the New International Version, the contemporary English translation favored by most evangelicals, list "trunk" as an alternate translation. So, even evangelicals admit that the passage may not be referring to a "tail".
