Exegesis
The conjunction u-ke‘an {וּכְעַ֤ן | ū-kə‘an} ‘and now’ transitions to the Haphil perfect hodaatani {הֽוֹדַעְתַּ֙נִי֙ | hôdā‘tānî} ‘you have made known to me’ and hodaatena {הוֹדַעְתֶּֽנָא | hôdā‘tənāʾ} ‘you have made known to us’.
In context — Daniel 2:23
To You, O God of my fathers , I give thanks and praise, for You have given me wisdom and might, and now You have made known to me what we asked, for You have made known to us the matter of the king.
