Exegesis
The independent pronoun ʾana {אֲנָה | ʾă-nā} ‘I’ placed next to the proper name nevukhadnetsar {נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר | nə-vû-khaḏ-nəṣ-ṣar} creates a formal self-introduction, heightening the personal, testimonial tone.

And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me. Then I blessed the Most High , and I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation.
