Exegesis
The following finite verb uveo {וּבְעוֹ | ū-ḇə-ʿō} (“and they sought”) shifts from passive suffering to active pursuit, with Daniyyel {דָּנִיֵּאל | dā-ni-yêl} and vehavrohi {וְחַבְרֹוהִי | wə-ḥaḇ-rō-hî} as the targets.
In context — Daniel 2:13
And the decree went out, and the wise men were being put to death; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be put to death.
