stump Nevertheless leave the {stump} of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts in the grass of the earth: stump And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the {stump} of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and [let] his portion [be] with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him; stump And whereas they commanded to leave the {stump} of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. ~~~~~~
