Exegesis
A parallelism links ʿirin pitgama {עִירִין פִּתְגָמָא | ʿîrîn piṯ-gāmāʾ} “watchers’ edict” with qaddishin umeʾamar sheʾelta {קַדִּישִׁין וּמֵאמַר שְׁאֵלְתָּא | qaddîšîn ū-mēʾămar šəʾēlṯāʾ} “holy ones’ word decision,” underlining unanimous heavenly decree.
Root and etymology
q-d-šqof–dalet–shin
“to be holy, set apart”
In context — Daniel 4:17
By the decree of the watchers the edict stands, and by the word of the holy ones the decision is fixed, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of mankind, and He gives it to whomever He wills, and He sets over it the lowliest of men.
