Exegesis
The simile kevar enash {כְּבַר אֱנָשׁ | kə-var ʾĕ-nāš} ‘like a son of man’ introduces a humanlike figure whose actions unfold through the verbs ateh {אָתֵה | ā-ṯēh} ‘was coming’, hava {הֲוָה | ha-vā} ‘he came’, and meta {מְטָה | mə-ṭā} ‘he approached’.
In context — Daniel 7:13
I was seeing in the night visions, and look, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man was coming; then He came to the Ancient of Days and was brought near before Him.
