Where it appears

Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 4:14 וְקַצִּ֣צוּ and cut off!

    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: 'And lop off!' The doubled-letter verb form stresses thoroughness: the branches are hacked away one after another.
