Exegesis
The relative clause asher {אֲשֶׁר | a-sher} with perfect hayah {הָיָה | hā-yāh} locates the branch among ba-atzey {בַּעֲצֵי | ba-ʿă-tzē} ‘trees,’ specifying its place in ha-yaʿar {הַיָּעַר | ha-yā-ʿar} ‘forest.’ This structure contrasts vine wood and branch with ordinary forest trees, emphasizing their lack of distinction.
In context — Ezekiel 15:2
Son of man, what is the wood of the vine more than any wood, or the branch that is among the trees of the forest?
