But yet a tenth shall be in it, and it shall return and be burned like the terebinth tree and like the oak that in being felled yet has its stump (the holy seed is its stump).
Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit plentiful, and food for all was in it. The beast of the field sought shade under it, and the birds of the heaven dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a fetter of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of the heaven, and his lot be with the beast in the grass of the earth.
