Exegesis
Temporal framing comes with veshiv'a iddanin yahlfoun alakh {וְשִׁבְעָה עִדָּנִין יַחְלְפוּן עֲלָךְ | wə-šiḇ-ʿā ʿid-dā-nîn yaḥ-lə-pûn ʿă-lāḵ}, where the numeral plus iddanin “times, periods” specifies a set number of divinely appointed spans, and yahlfoun “will pass” depicts these periods successively rolling over the king.
In context — Daniel 4:25
And you they will drive away from among men, and your dwelling, your habitation, will be with the beasts of the field, and they will make you eat grass like oxen, and they will drench you with the dew of heaven, and seven times will pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of mankind, and He gives it to whomever He wills .
