But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
But still, within it there will be a tenth that returns and gets eaten. It's like a teak tree and an oak tree. These trees keep some of their strength even when they lose their leaves. In the same way, the holy seed will be the source of strength for it.
