4:11 The tree grew large and strong.

Its top reached far into the sky;

it could be seen from the borders of all the land.

on it there was food enough for all.

Under it the wild animals used to seek shade,

and in its branches the birds of the sky used to nest.

All creatures used to feed themselves from it.
