Exegesis
Va’etvaddeh {וָאֶתְוַדֶּ֑ה | wāʼetvaddēh} ‘and I made confession’ continues the penitential Hitpael narrative, paralleling va’omrah {וָאֹֽמְרָה | wāʼōmrāh} ‘and I said,’ a Qal imperfect cohortative signaling deliberate speech.
In context — Daniel 9:4
And I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, and said, "Please, Lord, the great and awesome God, keeper of the covenant and steadfast love to those who love Him and to those who keep His commandments."
