Much water made the tree grow;
    the deep springs made it tall.
Rivers flowed
    around ·the bottom of the tree [its place of planting]
and sent their ·streams [channels]
    to all other trees ·in the countryside [of the field].

So the tree was taller
    than all the other trees ·in the countryside [of the field].
Its ·limbs [boughs] became large and its branches long
    because of ·so much [abundant] water.

All the birds of the ·sky [heavens]
    made their nests in the tree’s ·limbs [boughs; Dan. 4:12, 21].
And all the ·wild animals [beasts of the field]
    gave birth under its branches.
All great nations
    lived in the tree’s shade.
