Exegesis
The verb yachlin {יָכְלִין | yāḵ-lîn} ‘are able’ governs the infinitive le-hachavayah {לְהַֽחֲוָיָ֥ה | lə-ha-ḥă-wā-yāh} completing the object ‘to make known.’ The English smooths the list for readability while preserving the legal and rhetorical force of the original.
In context — Daniel 2:27
Daniel answered before the king and said, “The mystery that the king has asked—no wise men, enchanters, magicians, or diviners are able to make known to the king.”
