1 tn Heb “I have dreamed a dream” (so KJV, ASV).
2 tn Heb “my spirit.”
3 tn The Aramaic text includes the phrase “in its sheath,” apparently viewing the body as a container or receptacle for the spirit somewhat like a sheath or scabbard is for a knife or a sword (cf. NAB “within its sheath of flesh”). For this phrase the LXX and Vulgate have “in these things.”
4 tn Aram “head.”
