Exegesis
The phrase ve-arbeʿah reshin leḥêwəṯā {וְאַרְבְּעָ֤ה רֵאשִׁין֙ לְחֵ֣יוְתָ֔א | wəʾarbəʿā rēšîn ləḥêwəṯā} ‘and four heads of the beast’ uses multi-headed symbolism, culminating in the passive verb yəhîb {יְהִ֥יב | yəhîb} ‘was given,’ signaling an external bestowal of wəšālṭān {וְשָׁלְטָ֖ן | wəšālṭān} ‘dominion.’ The English rendering aligns with subject–verb–object order for clarity while preserving the Aramaic’s sequential and symbolic structure.
