# General Information:

|
In verses 1-18, Nebuchadnezzar describes in the first person his vision from God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person]])
|
|
The holy messenger in the vision continues shouting to some people.

# stump of its roots

|
|
|
This is the part of the tree that is left above the ground after a tree is cut down.

# dew

|
the moisture on the ground that is found in the mornings

# Let his mind be changed ... seven years pass by
|
|
|

Since the tree represents Nebuchadnezzar, the masculine pronouns "his" and "him" in verse 16 refer to the same tree as the neuter pronoun "it" in verse 15. Alternate translation: "The man's mind will change from a man's mind to an animal's mind for a period of seven years" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns]])
