Exegesis
Three coordinated imperfects—yilbash {יִלְבַּשׁ | yil-bash}, vehamnikha dîdahava alterzavareh {וְהַמְנִיכָא דִי־דַהֲבָא עַל־צַוְּארֵהּ | wə-ham-nî-kā dî-da-hā-wā ʿal-ṣaw-wə-reh}, and utelti bemalkuta yishlat {וּתְלִתִּי בְמַלְכוּתָא יִשְׁלַט | ū-te-lit-tî bə-mal-ku-tā yiš-laṭ}—outline the promised attire and rank, characteristic of Aramaic royal edicts.
In context — Daniel 5:7
The king cried out powerfully to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Then the king answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold upon his neck, and shall rule as third in the kingdom.”
