Exegesis
The Hebrew narrative employs the vav consecutive construction of va'er'eh {וָאֶרְאֶה | wā-’e-reʾ} ‘and I saw’ followed by vayehi {וַיְהִי | wa-ye-hî} ‘and it happened’ to advance the prophetic scene.
In context — Daniel 8:2
And I saw in a vision , and it happened, as I was seeing, that I was in Shushan the citadel , which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was beside the river Ulai.
