Exegesis
Two relative clauses introduced by di {דִּי | dī} ‘that’ specify the divine possession of ḥokmetha {חָכְמְתָא | ḥāḵ-mə-ṯā} ‘wisdom’ and gevurta {וּגְבוּרְתָא | u-ɡə-ḇur-ṯā} ‘might,’ with leh {לֵהּ | lēh} ‘to him’ marking the genitive relation and hiʾ {הִיא | hīʾ} ‘it is’ reinforcing the predication. This tightly woven construction underscores the unqualified exaltation and timeless endurance of divine attributes.
In context — Daniel 2:20
Daniel answered and said, “Let the name of God be blessed from eternity and until eternity; for wisdom and might are His.”
