Exegesis
The verb mətat {מְטָת | mə-ṭāṯ} ‘has come, has reached’ is Peal perfect, third feminine singular, again matching the feminine subject “decree.” The perfect aspect presents the decree as already issued and effective, not merely hypothetical.
In context — Daniel 4:24
This is the interpretation , O king, and it is the decree of the Most High God , which has come upon my lord the king.
