Exegesis
Finally, the vav-resultant ve-neʾelamti {וְנֶאֱלָֽמְתִּי | wə-ne-ʾe-lam-tî} ‘and I became mute’ employs the Niphal perfect to convey a passive, involuntary condition. The verse’s cumulative syntax and resultative clauses emphasize Daniel’s astonishment and submissive response.
In context — Daniel 10:15
