Exegesis
The perfect tense tsevit {צְבִית֙ | ṣə-ḇîṯ} ‘I desired’ combined with the infinitive construct leyatsava {לְיַצָּבָ֔א | lə-yaṣ-ṣā-ḇā} ‘to know’ sets the investigative frame.
In context — Daniel 7:19
Then I desired to know about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly terrifying , whose teeth were of iron and whose claws were of bronze ; it devoured, crushed, and trampled the rest with its feet.
