Exegesis
The final clause, umineh {וּמִנְהּ | û-min-neh} “and from it” with yitszin {יִתְּזִין | yit-zîn} “is fed” and kol-bisra {כָּל־בִשְׂרָא | kol-bis-rāʾ} “all flesh,” uses an Ithpaal (passive-reflexive) form to stress that every living creature receives sustenance from this single source. Throughout, repeated third masculine singular suffixes (-eh / -hî) on opyeho, veinbeh, lekholla-beh, tehotohi, uveanpohi, and umineh bind all benefits—beauty, fruit, shade, and food—back to the same great tree. In translation, English finite verbs (“was,” “were shaded,” “dwelt,” “was fed”) and standard subject–verb–object order make explicit what the Aramaic conveys through nominal clauses and verbal aspect, while preserving the progression from appearance, to provision, to universal shelter and nourishment.
In context — Daniel 4:12
Its foliage was beautiful, and its fruit was abundant, and food was there for all. Under it the beasts of the field were shaded, and in its branches the birds of heaven dwelt, and from it all flesh was fed.
