Exegesis
The locative al-uval ulai {עַל־אוּבַל אוּלָי | ʿal-’ū-ḇal ’ū-lāy} ‘by the river Ulai’ grounds the vision geographically, with repetition of bechazon enhancing the sense of continuity between the two scenes.
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.
