Exegesis
The sequence ʿiśbāʾ kəttôrîn {עִשְׂבָּא כְתּוֹרִין | ʿiś-bāʾ kə-ttō-rîn} ‘grass like oxen’ and the verb yəṭaʿămûnāḵ {יְטַעֲמוּנָךְ | yə-ṭa-ʿă-mû-nāḵ} ‘they will make you eat’ depict him forced to eat as cattle do, so the syntax presents a progressive degradation of status.
In context — Daniel 4:32
And from among men they will drive you, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field, and they will make you eat grass like oxen, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that He gives it to whomever He wills.
