Exegesis
The verse opens with chazeh {חָזֵה | ḥā-zêh} ‘you were seeing’ plus the auxiliary havayta {הֲוַיְתָ | ha-wa-yiṯ-ā}, forming a periphrastic continuous action.
In context — Daniel 2:34
You were watching until a stone was cut out not by hands and struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, crushing them to pieces.
