Exegesis
The relative clause ve-reveh di revia‘a dameh {וְרֵוֵהּ֙ דִּ֣י רְבִיעָאָ֔ה דָּמֵ֖ה | wə-rē-veh dî rə-ḇî-‘ā-ʾā dā-meh} ‘appearance of the fourth is like’ is followed by the simile le-bar elahin {לְבַר־אֱלָהִֽין | lə-ḇar ʾə-lā-hîn} ‘a son of gods.’ English reorders certain elements for clarity but retains the narrative and theological emphasis.
