Exegesis
The next clause is built from the participle ḥāzê {חָזֵה | ḥā-zê} “seeing” followed by the finite verb havaît {הֲוֵית | ha-wêṯ} “I was,” forming the periphrastic construction ḥāzê havaît “I was seeing.” In Aramaic narrative this combination highlights continuous or durative action, conveying the idea of sustained observation rather than a single instantaneous glance.
In context — Daniel 4:10
These were the visions of my head as I lay upon my bed: I was watching, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth , and its height was great.
