Exegesis

A cluster of prepositional phrases elaborates the altered condition of this stump: ûḇeʾĕsûr dî-parzel ûnəḥāš {וּבֶאֱסוּר דִּי־פַרְזֶל וּנְחָשׁ | û-ḇe-ʾĕ-sûr dî-par-zel û-nə-ḥāš} ‘and with a band of iron and bronze’ modifies the stump implicitly, depicting it as bound or encircled without the need for an explicit verb.

In contextDaniel 4:23

And that the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, “Hew down the tree and destroy it, yet leave the stump with its roots in the earth, with a band of iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts of the field, until seven times pass over him.”
