Exegesis
The sequence veteʾakhol kol-araʿa {וְתֵאכֻל כָּל־אַרְעָא | wə-te-ʾa-khul kol-ʾar-ʿā(ʾ)} uses a Peal imperfect verb for ‘and it will devour all the earth,’ followed by utedushinnah ve-taddekinnah {וּתְדוּשִׁנַּהּ וְתַדְּקִנַּהּ | u-te-du-shin-nah wə-tad-de-kin-nah} ‘and it will trample it and crush it,’ highlighting successive destructive actions. The English rendering preserves the Aramaic’s structural emphasis on comprehensive devastation.
In context — Daniel 7:23
Thus he said, “The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth, trample it down, and crush it.”
