Exegesis
The preposition ad {עַד | ʿad} ‘until’ introduces the relative clause di hitgezeret even di-la bidayin {דִּי הִתְגְּזֶרֶת אֶבֶן דִּי־לָא בִידַיִן}, where hitgezeret {הִתְגְּזֶרֶת | hit-ge-ze-ret} (Hitpa‘el perfect) and negation di-la highlight the stone’s supernatural origin.
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.
