    4 Biting off the highest of its young branches, he took it to the land of Canaan, and put it in a town of traders.

    5 And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.

    6 And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.

    7 And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water.

    8 He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine.
