Exegesis
The address to Daniel begins with weʾantā {וְאַנְתָּה | wəʾantā} “and you,” placing Belteshazzar in contrast with the other advisers.
The contrastive return to Daniel is again marked by weʾantā {וְאַנְתָּה | wəʾantā} “and you,” with the predicate adjective kāhēl {כָּהֵל | kāhēl} “able” used as a verbal idea, “you are able.”
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.
