Exegesis
The subject ani Daniyyel {אֲנִי דָּנִיֵּאַל | ʾă-nî dā-niy-yēl} ‘I, Daniel,’ is followed by the cognitive verb binoti {בִּינֹתִי | bî-nō-ṯî} ‘I understood,’ taking the locative phrase ba-sefarim {בַּסְּפָרִים | bas-sə-fā-rîm} ‘in the books’ as its source indicator.
In context — Daniel 9:2
In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of the years concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet: that seventy years must be completed for the desolations of Jerusalem .
