Exegesis
The prepositional noun im-kaddishin {עִם־קַדִּישִׁ֑ין | ʿim-qad-dî-šīn} ‘with holy ones’ marks the targets, and ve-yakhla {וְיָכְלָ֖ה | wə-yāḵ-lā(h)} ‘and prevailed’ with le-hon {לְהֽוֹן | lə-hōn} ‘against them’ conveys its temporary dominance. The feminine verb forms agree with qarna, reinforcing grammatical consistency while the sequence from sight to conflict to outcome drives the narrative forward.
In context — Daniel 7:21
I was watching, and that same horn was making war with the holy ones , and was prevailing against them.
