Exegesis
Tehotohi {תְּחֹתוֹהִי | tə-ḥō-ṯō-hî} “under it” introduces a spatial setting, and the Pael imperfect verb tatlel {תַּטְלֵל | tat-lēl} “it shades” portrays ongoing, characteristic action: the tree habitually provides shade.
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.
