Exegesis
The construct chain arba ruchei shemayya {אַרְבַּע רוּחֵי שְׁמַיָּא | ar-baʿ rū-ḥê šə-may-yā} ‘four winds of heaven’ depicts cosmic forces, with the participle megikhan {מְגִיחָן | mə-gi-ḥān} ‘stirring’ indicating continuous agitation toward the destination leyamma rabba {לְיַמָּא רַבָּא | lə-yam-mā rab-bā} ‘the great sea.’ The formal rendering maintains linear reporting, while the dynamic emphasizes immediacy through active diction and tightened syntax.
In context — Daniel 7:2
Daniel answered and said, “I was watching in my vision during the night , and behold, four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea.”
