# sights

things that you see

# its height was very great

"it was very tall"

# Its top reached to the heavens ... it could be seen to the ends of the whole earth

This is symbolic language that exaggerates how tall and how well-known the tree was. AT: "It seemed that its top reached up to the sky and that everyone in the world could see it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])

# its fruit was abundant

"there was a lot of fruit on the tree"

# was food for all

"was food for all people and animals"
