Exegesis
The verb tədur {תְּדֻר | tə-ḏur}, a Peal imperfect third feminine singular, takes the collective feminine ḥeiwat {חֵיוַת | ḥê-waṯ} “beasts” as its logical subject in the phrase ḥeiwat bārāʾ {חֵיוַת בָּרָא | ḥê-waṯ bā-rāʾ} “beasts of the field / open country,” yielding the sense “under it the beasts of the field would dwell.” The imperfect aspect presents this as a habitual or ongoing state rather than a one-time event.
In context — Daniel 4:21
And its foliage was beautiful, and its fruit was abundant, and there was food for all in it; under it the beasts of the field would dwell , and in its branches the birds of the heavens would live.
