Exegesis
The verb ʿal {עַ֖ל | ʿal} ‘entered’ opens the main clause, followed by the conjunction u {וּ | û} + verb beʿa {בְּעָ֣ה | bə-ʿāh} ‘requested’, directed toward malka {מַלְכָּ֑א | mal-kāʾ} ‘king’ introduced by min {מִן־ | min} ‘from’.
In context — Daniel 2:16
And Daniel went in and requested from the king that he would grant him time, so that the interpretation could be shown to the king.
