Exegesis
The second coordinated clause introduces ulevav {וּלְבַב | û-ləḇaḇ} “and a heart” as a new subject, further specified by kheiva {חֵיוָה | ḥēwā} “beast,” yielding the genitival idea “a beast’s heart.”
In context — Daniel 4:16
His heart shall be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a beast shall be given to him, and seven times shall pass over him.
