Daniel · 1

  1. Daniel 4:14 וּבַדַּ֣רוּ and scatter!

    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 scatter!' The fruit is not harvested and kept. It is flung away and wasted.
