Exegesis
The particle dî {דִּ֣י | dî} introduces the causal clause linking yekheltā {יְכֵ֔לְתָּ | yekheltā} with lə-miglē rāzā denā {לְמִגְלֵ֖א רָזָ֥ה דְנָֽה | lə-miglē rāzā denā}, emphasizing Daniel’s divinely enabled disclosure of this specific mystery. The structure reflects climactic buildup typical of Aramaic court style.
