The Key Word — אִֽילָנָא֙, 'i.la.Na'generated
The word אִילָן (iylan) simply means 'tree' in Hebrew, and it is often used to describe trees in various contexts, such as in the garden of Eden or the tree of life. This word conveys not just the physical presence of a tree but also its symbolic meaning in the biblical narrative.
In this verse, the tree represents the king's greatness and power, illustrating how his reign is vast and visible to all. The use of this word emphasizes the significance of the king's dominion and the grandeur of his kingdom.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb חֲזַ֔יְתָ (you saw) governs the entire verse, with several phrases elaborating on the tree's characteristics. The structure emphasizes the vision experienced by the king, leading to a detailed description of the tree's attributes.
The sentence flows from the action of seeing to the description of the tree, creating a vivid image of its grandeur and significance. The use of conjunctions and relative clauses connects the various elements, enhancing the overall clarity of the interpretation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אִֽילָן as δένδρον (dendron), which also means 'tree.' This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may carry additional connotations in the Greek context, emphasizing the tree's role as a symbol of life and strength.
The translation of חֲזָה as εἶδες (eides) indicates a direct observation, reinforcing the personal experience of the king in witnessing the vision.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text describes the tree as large and strong, with its top reaching the sky and visible to all the earth. The Septuagint, while it has a significant word-by-word correspondence with the Masoretic Text, does not provide a complete translation of this verse, leaving some details unspecified. Therefore, it is unclear if the Septuagint agrees or differs in meaning from the Masoretic Text in this instance. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional information for this specific verse, so their agreement or disagreement with the Masoretic Text cannot be determined from the available witnesses.

Egyptian saws, so far as has yet been discovered, are single-handed. As is the case in modern Oriental saws, the teeth usually incline toward the handle, instead of away from it like ours. They have, in most cases, bronze blades, apparently attached to the handles by leathern thongs. No evidence exists of the use of the saw applied to stone in Egypt, but we read of sawn stones used in the temple. (1 Kings 7:9) The saws "under" or "in" which David is said to have placed his captives were of iron. The expression in (2 Samuel 12:31) does not necessarily imply torture, but the word "cut" in (1 Chronicles 20:3) can hardly be understood otherwise.
