Exegesis
The prepositional phrase min-anasha {מִן־אֲנָשָׁא | min-ʾă-nā-šāʾ} “from men” marks separation from human society, while the following coordinated phrase veim-khevat bara {וְעִם־חֵיוַת בָּרָא | wə-ʿim-ḥê-wāṯ bā-rāʾ} “with the beasts of the field” moves the king’s sphere of life into the wild, intensifying the theme of dehumanization.
Root and etymology
ʾ-n-šaleph–nun–shin
“man, humankind”
In context — Daniel 4:25
And you they will drive away from among men, and your dwelling, your habitation, will be with the beasts of the field, and they will make you eat grass like oxen, and they will drench you with the dew of heaven, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of mankind, and He gives it to whomever He wills .
