Exegesis
The conjunction lahēn {לָהֵ֗ן | lahēn} ‘but rather’ introduces the purpose clause ʿal-dibrāṯ dî pishrā lə-malkāʾ yəhodʿûn {עַל־דִּבְרַת֙ דִּ֤י פִשְׁרָא֙ לְמַלְכָּ֣א יְהוֹדְע֔וּן | ʿal-dibrāṯ dî pishrā lə-malkāʾ yəhodʿûn} ‘on account of the matter that the interpretation might be made known to the king’, followed by the purpose infinitive tinnədaʿ {תִּנְדַּֽע | tinnədaʿ} ‘you may know’, directing attention to the thoughts of the heart. The layered relative and purpose constructions are rendered through subordinate clauses and infinitives to preserve Aramaic nuance in English.
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 .
