Exegesis
The causal clause kol-kovel di khazeiton di azda minni milta {כָּל־קֳבֵל֙ דִּ֣י חֲזֵית֔וֹן דִּ֥י אַזְדָּ֖א מִנִּ֥י מִלְּתָֽא | kol-qō-ḇêl dî ḥă-zê-ṯôn dî ʾaz-dā min-nî mil-tā} ‘because you see that my decree is fixed’ links cause and effect. The perfect azda emphasizes the settled nature of the decree, and the English syntax preserves the Aramaic focus on the king’s assertion.
In context — Daniel 2:8
The king answered and said, “With certainty I know that you are buying time , because you see that my decree is fixed.”
