Exegesis
The prepositional phrase lifnei ha’uval {לִפְנֵי הָאֻבָּל | lipənê hā’ūḇāl} “before the canal” situates the scene, and the final vav-consecutive with vayyarats {וַיָּרָץ | wayyārāṣ} “and he ran” plus elav {אֵלָיו | êlāw} “to it” introduces the dynamic action.
In context — Daniel 8:6
And he came up to the ram with the horns I had seen standing before the canal , and he ran toward it in the rage of his strength .
