Exegesis
The dual noun rag-lay-in {רַגְלַיִן | rag-lay-in} and the construct ū-lə-vav {וּלְבַב | ū-lə-vav} plus absolute ʾe-nāsh {אֱנָשׁ | ʾe-nāsh} depict an anthropomorphic standing and the bestowal of humanity via the Peal yə-hîv {יְהִיב | yə-hîv}.
In context — Daniel 7:4
The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle; I was watching until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
