Exegesis
The phrase ve-lo kerenayim {וְל֣וֹ קְרָנָ֑יִם | wə-lō qə-rā-nā-yim} ‘and it had horns’ introduces dual horn imagery which is then compared: gevohot {גְּבֹה֗וֹת | gə-ḇō-hōṯ} ‘were high’ contrasts with gevoha min-ha-shenit {גְּבֹהָ֣ה מִן־הַשֵּׁנִ֔ית | gə-ḇō-hāh min-ha-šê-nīt} ‘was higher than the second,’ culminating in the higher horn’s ascent olah ba-acharonah {עֹלָ֖ה בָּאַחֲרֹנָֽה | ‘ō-lāh bā-’a-ḥa-rō-nāh} ‘coming up at the end.’ Parallelism and vav-consecutive linkage underscore the sequence and hierarchy of the horns, shaping the prophetic vision’s structure.
In context — Daniel 8:3
And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a ram standing before the canal . It had horns , and the horns were high, but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.
