10‘Now these were the 1visionsH2376 2in my mindH7217 as I lay on my bedH4903: I was lookingH2370, and beholdH431, there was a 3treeH363 in the middleH1459 of the 4earthH772 and its heightH7314 was greatH7690.11The treeH363 grewH7236 largeH7236 and becameH8631 strongH8631 And its heightH7314 5reachedH4291 to the skyH8065, And it was visibleH2379 to the endH5491 of the wholeH3606 earthH772.12Its foliageH6074 was 6beautifulH8209 and its fruitH4 abundantH7690, And in it was foodH4203 for allH3606. The 7animalsH2423 of the fieldH1251 8foundH2927 9shadeH2927 underH8460 it, And the 10birdsH6853 of the skyH8065 livedH1753 in its branchesH6056, And allH3606 11livingH1321 creaturesH1321 fedH2110 from it.

13‘I was lookingH2370 in the 12visionsH2376 13in my mindH7217 as I lay on my bedH4903, and beholdH431, 14an angelicH5894 watcherH5894, a 15holyH6922 oneH6922, descendedH5182 from heavenH8065.14He shoutedH7123 out and spokeH560 asH3652 followsH3652: “16ChopH1414 downH1414 the treeH363 and cutH7113 offH7113 its branchesH6056, ShakeH5426 offH5426 its foliageH6074 and scatterH921 its fruitH4; Let the 17animalsH2423 fleeH5111 from underH8460 it And the birdsH6853 from its branchesH6056.15YetH1297 18leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 19with its rootsH8330 in the groundH772, But with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and bronzeH5174 around it In the newH1883 grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; And let him be drenchedH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, And let 20him shareH2508 with the animalsH2423 in the grassH6212 of the earthH772.16Let his 21mindH3825 changeH8133 from that of a humanH606 And let an animal’sH2423 22mindH3825 be givenH3052 to him, And let 23sevenH7655 24periods of timeH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him.
