Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional simile ke-mar’eh-gāḇer {כְּמַרְאֵה־גָֽבֶר | kə-marʾēh-gāḇer} ‘like the appearance-of-man’ uses a construct chain to liken the figure to an adult male. The syntactic shift from Hebrew VSO to English SVO preserves the original sequence and emphasis of the visionary encounter.
Root and etymology

In context — Daniel 8:15
