Exegesis
The verse opens with the emphatic vaʾănā {וַאֲנָ֗ה | vaʾănā} ‘but as for me’, establishing a contrast.
In context — Daniel 2:30
But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because of any wisdom which is in me beyond all the living, but rather, so that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart .
