Exegesis
Finally, hoda {הוֹדַֽע | hō-daʿ} ‘he made known’ with its object milta {מִלְּתָ֥א | mil-tā} ‘the matter’ completes a causative clause. The sequence (temporal connector + subject + locative + verb + indirect objects + direct object) maps directly onto English subject–verb–object order, preserving the flow and emphasis of the Aramaic.
