Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 4:14 תְּנֻ֤ד let it flee

    He called out in a loud voice: ‘Cut down the tree and chop off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

    Here: 'Let it flee': a wish or command form. The animals are driven out and scatter in flight. The verb returns in 6:18 for sleep 'fleeing' from the king.
