Exegesis
The verse begins with the temporal bah-shaata {בַּהּ־שַׁעֲתָא | bah-ša-ʿă-tāʾ} ‘in that hour’, a fronted preposition + suffix phrase bound by maqqef that underscores the exact moment of divine judgment.
In context — Daniel 4:33
At that very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven away from men and ate grass like oxen. His body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair grew like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.
