Exegesis
The final clause foregrounds the object with wəḥelmā {וְחֶלְמָא | wə-ḥel-mā} “and the dream,” followed by the prepositional phrase qodāmōhî {קֳדָמוֹהִי | qo-ḏā-mō-hî} “before him,” and concludes with the verb ʾămart {אֲמַרְתּ | ʾă-mart} “I said / I told.” This object–prepositional phrase–verb order places rhetorical emphasis on the dream itself and on Daniel as its hearer, while English normalizes the sequence to “I told the dream before him” to maintain clarity yet still let “the dream” stand close to the verb of speaking.
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.
