Exegesis
The infinitive le-hashkot {לְהַשְׁק֣וֹת | lə-hašqôt} expresses purpose ‘to water it’, and the genitive chain me-arugot mattaha {מֵעֲרֻג֖וֹת מַטָּעָֽהּ | mĕʿărûgôṯ mə-ṭāʿāh} ‘from the beds of its planting’ indicates location. The Hebrew syntax underscores the allegory of dependence.
In context — Ezekiel 17:7
And there was another great eagle , great in wings and abundant in plumage. And behold, this vine bent its roots toward him and stretched out its branches to him to be watered from the beds of its planting .
