Exegesis

The relative particle dî {דִּֽי־ | dî} with ʾīṯay {אִיתַ֥י | ʾīṯay} ‘exists’ in ʾīṯay bî min kol ḥayyayya {אִיתַ֥י בִּ֙י֙ מִן־כָּל־חַיַּיָּ֔א | ʾīṯay bî min kol ḥayyayya} ‘which exists in me above all the living’ clarifies Daniel’s disclaimer of superior wisdom.

In contextDaniel 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 .
