Exegesis
The second dî introduces a further relative clause, dî rĕḇā wətaqqîp {דִּי רְבָה וְתַקִּף | dî rə-ḇā wə-taq-qîp}, in which rĕḇā ‘grew great’ is a Peal perfect verb and wətaqqîp ‘and (was) strong’ is an adjectival predicate coordinated to it, portraying both growth and resulting power.
In context — Daniel 4:20
The tree that you saw, which grew great and strong, whose height reached to the heavens , and whose appearance was visible to all the earth.
