Exegesis
The consequent vatigbah {וַתִּגְבַּהּ | wa-tig-bah} raises the focus to komato {קוֹמָת֖וֹ | qô-mā-tô}, situating it al-bein avotim {עַל־בֵּ֣ין עֲבֹתִים | ʿal-bêyn ʿă-vō-tîm}, a comparative construction that contrasts her height with “thick branches.”
In context — Ezekiel 19:11
And she had strong rods for the scepters of rulers, and her stature rose above the thick branches; she was visible in her height because of her many branches.
