Exegesis
The relative construction dî-ʾănā {דִּי־אֲנָה | dî-ʾănā} “that I” tightly links the boast to the king as agent, while benaytāh {בְנַיְתָהּ | benaytāh} “I have built it” uses a first person verb plus a third feminine singular suffix pointing back to Babylon, making the claim intensely personal.
In context — Daniel 4:30
The king answered and said, “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built as a house for the kingdom , by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?”
