Daniel 4:10-12

Daniel 4:10-12
10. Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.10. Visiones autem capitis mei super cubile meum, Videbam, et ecce arborem in medio terrae, et altitudo ejus magna.
11. The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:11. Crevit, multiplicata est, arbor, et invaluit, et altitudo ejus pertigit, hoc est, et altitudo ejus pertingeret, ad coelos, et conspectus ejus ad extremum totius, vel, universae, terrae.
12. The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.12. Ramus ejus pulcher, et fructus ejus copiosus,
שגיא, segua, signifies large, or much. — Calvin
et esca omnibus in ea: sub ea umbrabat
Verbally, took shelter — Calvin.
bestia agri: et in ramis ejus habitabant
Or, nestled. — Calvin.
aves coelorum, et ex ea alebatur omnis caro.
