This Aramaic Hithpael verb describes Nebuchadnezzar's condition during his divinely imposed madness: he 'was fed from the grass of the field' like an animal. The reflexive/passive Hithpael indicates he received feeding from the field, emphasizing his degradation from royal luxury to bestial existence. Daniel's vision depicts the king driven from human society, eating grass, until seven times pass and he acknowledges God's sovereignty. The verb captures the humiliation of a ruler reduced to animal status.
