Exegesis
The phrase vegale razayya {וְגָלֵא רָזַיָּא | wəgālē rāzayyā} functions as a divine title, “Revealer of mysteries”, and hodeakh {הוֹדְעָךְ | hōdʿăkh} ‘has made known to you’ narrates the revelation. The repetition of ma di ləhewe emphasizes focus on future events. English reorders subject and verb for clarity and divides the complex Aramaic into natural English segments.
