Exegesis

The temporal clause ʿad dî-yə-ḏaʿ {עַד דִּֽי־יְדַ֗ע | ʿad dî-yə-ḏaʿ} ‘until he knew’ introduces the turning point, followed by the participle dî-šal-lît {דִּֽי־שַׁלִּ֞יט | dî-šal-lîṭ} ‘that rules’ highlighting continuous sovereignty.

In contextDaniel 5:21

And he was driven away from the sons of men, and his mind was made like that of the beasts , and with the wild donkeys was his dwelling. They would feed him grass like oxen, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God rules the kingdom of men and appoints over it whomever He wills.
