Exegesis
The verse begins with the conjunctional prefix in v’daniyel {וְדָנִיֵּאל | wə-dā-ni-yēl} ‘Daniel’, linking the action to the preceding narrative.
Finally, the clause v’daniyel bitra malka {וְדָנִיֵּאל בִּתְרַע מַלְכָּא | wə-dā-ni-yēl biṯ-raʿ mal-kāʾ} ‘and Daniel at the gate of the king’ employs the locative as a metonym for the royal court, preserving the Aramaic structure and administrative nuance.
