Exegesis
The Aramaic sentence opens with a periphrastic verbal construction: ḥāzēh {חָזֵה | ḥāzēh} ‘looking’ (participle) plus hăwēṯ {הֲוֵית | hăwēṯ} ‘I was’, which together convey an ongoing past action, best rendered as “I was looking” rather than a simple “I saw.”
In context — Daniel 4:13
I was looking in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher , a holy one, came down from heaven.
