Exegesis
The Hiphil verb vatapel {וַתַּפֵּ֥ל | wa-ṯap-pēl} ‘and it threw down’ with the directional noun artsah {אַרְצָה | ʾar-ṣāh} ‘ground’ conveys a forceful descent.
In context — Daniel 8:10
And it grew until it reached the host of heaven, and it cast down to the ground some of the host and some of the stars, and it trampled them.
