Exegesis
A closely parallel structure then applies to the birds: ûṣəparayyāʾ {וּצְפַרַיָּ֖א | û-ṣə-pa-ray-yāʾ} “and the birds” with min-ʿănappôhî {מִן־עֲנַפּֽוֹהִי | min-ʿă-nap-pō-hî} “from its branches.” This parallelism (beasts / from under it :: birds / from its branches) underlines the total loss of shelter and security signified by the destruction of the tree.
In context — Daniel 4:14
He called out with a mighty voice , and thus he said, “Hew down the tree and cut off its branches; shake off its foliage and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.”
