Exegesis
The perfect verb shamati {שָׁמַעְתִּי | šāməṯtî} “I heard” denotes completed perception, contrasting with velo avin {וְלֹא אָבִין | wəlō ʾāvin} “but I did not understand,” where the imperfect signals ongoing lack of comprehension.
In context — Daniel 12:8
And I heard, but I did not understand; and I said, “My Lord , what will be the end of these things?”
