Exegesis
The temporal limit of this condition is expressed by the complex prepositional phrase ʿad dî-šiḇʿā ʿiddānîn yaḥləpûn ʿălōhî {עַד דִּי־שִׁבְעָה עִדָּנִין יַחְלְפוּן עֲלֹוהִי | ʿad dî-šiḇ-ʿā ʿid-dā-nîn yaḥ-lə-pûn ʿă-lō-hî} ‘until seven times will pass over him,’ where ʿad dî introduces a temporal clause, šiḇʿā ʿiddānîn serves as the quantified subject, and the imperfect yaḥləpûn conveys the progression of divinely allotted periods that must elapse before the king’s experience changes.
In context — Daniel 4:23
And that the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven, and he said, “Hew down the tree and destroy it, yet leave the stump with its roots in the earth, with a band of iron and bronze in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the beasts of the field, until seven times pass over him.”
