Exegesis
This is followed by the prepositional phrase lesof {לְסוֹף | lᵉsôp̄} ‘to the end’ and the construct chain kol-arʿa {כָּל־אַרְעָא | kol-ʾarʿāʾ} ‘all the earth’, which together express an extreme boundary: the tree’s sight or visibility extends as far as the ends of the entire earth. The construct “all + earth” underscores exhaustive scope.
In context — Daniel 4:11
The tree grew and became strong, and its height reached to the heavens , and its appearance was to the end of all the earth.
