Exegesis
Finally, the anthropomorphic description ʿeynīn keʿeynê enoshā {עַיְנִ֜ין כְּעַיְנֵ֤י אֲנָשָׁא֙ | ʿe-nīn ke-ʿeynê ʾə-nō-shāʼ} ‘eyes like a man’s’ and the participial phrase memallil ravrevān {מְמַלִּ֥ל רַבְרְבָֽן | me-mal-lēl rav-rer-vān} ‘speaking great things’ convey bold, ongoing speech. English word order shifts for clarity while preserving Aramaic emphasis and tense.
In context — Daniel 7:8
I was observing the horns, and behold, another horn, a small one, came up among them, and three of the former horns were uprooted from before it. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man , and a mouth speaking great things .
