Exegesis
The verse opens with a temporal-concessive sequence veʿad ʾaḥărēn {וְעַד אָחֳרֵין | wə-ʿaḏ ʾā-ḥo-rēn} that functions idiomatically as “but at last” or “finally,” marking Daniel’s appearance as the culmination of prior, unsuccessful attempts to obtain an interpretation.
In context — Daniel 4:8
But at last Daniel came before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god , and in whom was the spirit of the holy gods ; and before him I told the dream.
