Exegesis
The causal sequence kol-qevel dî {כָּל־קְבֵל דִּי | kol-qᵊḇēl dî} “because that” introduces the reason: kol ḥakkîmei {כָּל חַכִּימֵי | kol ḥakkîmē} “all the wise men” in construct with malkhûtî {מַלְכוּתִי | malkhûtî} “my kingdom” are negated by lā-yaḵlîn {לָא־יָכְלִין | lāyaḵlîn} “are not able.”
The conjunction dî {דִּי | dî} then introduces the ground for this confidence: ruaḥ ʾelāhîn qaddišîn bākh {רוּחַ אֱלָהִין קַדִּישִׁין בָּךְ | rûaḥ ʾĕlāhîn qaddišîn bāḵ} “spirit of holy gods in you.”
Root and etymology
q-d-šQof-Dalet-Shin
“to be holy, set apart”
In context — Daniel 4:18
This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. And you, Belteshazzar, tell the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make the interpretation known to me; but you are able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.
