Exegesis
The final clause presents the leaves as a coordinated subject ta phylla tou xylou {τὰ φύλλα τοῦ ξύλου | tá phýl-la tou xý-lou}, connected to a purpose phrase eis the-ra-peí-an tōn ethnōn {εἰς θεραπείαν τῶν ἐθνῶν | eis the-ra-peí-an tōn eth-nōn}, which indicates the function of healing the nations. Participles and temporal markers are maintained closely to the source to preserve the vision’s sense of perpetual abundance directed to all peoples.
