Daniel 1:1--12:13

In the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
came
<0935> (8804)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
unto Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and besieged
<06696> (8799)
it.
And the Lord
<0136>
gave
<05414> (8799)
Jehoiakim
<03079>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into his hand
<03027>_,
with part
<07117>
of the vessels
<03627>
of the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_:
which he carried
<0935> (8686)
into the land
<0776>
of Shinar
<08152>
to the house
<01004>
of his god
<0430>_;
and he brought
<0935> (8689)
the vessels
<03627>
into the treasure
<0214>
house
<01004>
of his god
<0430>_.
And the king
<04428>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto Ashpenaz
<0828>
the master
<07227>
of his eunuchs
<05631>_,
that he should bring
<0935> (8687)
[certain] of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and of the king's
<04410>
seed
<02233>_,
and of the princes
<06579>_;
Children
<03206>
in whom [was] no blemish
<03971> (8675) <03971>_,
but well
<02896>
favoured
<04758>_,
and skilful
<07919> (8688)
in all wisdom
<02451>_,
and cunning
<03045> (8802)
in knowledge
<01847>_,
and understanding
<0995> (8688)
science
<04093>_,
and such as [had] ability
<03581>
in them to stand
<05975> (8800)
in the king's
<04428>
palace
<01964>_,
and whom they might teach
<03925> (8763)
the learning
<05612>
and the tongue
<03956>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
And the king
<04428>
appointed
<04487> (8762)
them a daily
<03117> <03117>
provision
<01697>
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_,
and of the wine
<03196>
which he drank
<04960>_:
so nourishing
<01431> (8763)
them three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
that at the end
<07117>
thereof they might stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
{the wine...: Heb. the wine of his drink}
Now among these were of the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>_,
Daniel
<01840>_,
Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04332>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_:
Unto whom the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
gave
<07760> (8799)
names
<08034>_:
for he gave
<07760> (8799)
unto Daniel
<01840>
[the name] of Belteshazzar
<01095>_;
and to Hananiah
<02608>_,
of Shadrach
<07714>_;
and to Mishael
<04332>_,
of Meshach
<04335>_;
and to Azariah
<05838>_,
of Abednego
<05664>_.
But Daniel
<01840>
purposed
<07760> (8799)
in his heart
<03820>
that he would not defile
<01351> (8691)
himself with the portion
<06598> (0)
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_,
nor with the wine
<03196>
which he drank
<04960>_:
therefore he requested
<01245> (8762)
of the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
that he might not defile
<01351> (8691)
himself.
Now God
<0430>
had brought
<05414> (8799)
Daniel
<01840>
into favour
<02617>
and tender love
<07356>
with
<06440>
the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>_.
And the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Daniel
<01840>_,
I fear
<03373>
my lord
<0113>
the king
<04428>_,
who hath appointed
<04487> (8765)
your meat
<03978>
and your drink
<04960>_:
for why should he see
<07200> (8799)
your faces
<06440>
worse liking
<02196> (8802)
than the children
<03206>
which [are] of your sort
<01524>_?
then shall ye make [me] endanger
<02325> (8765)
my head
<07218>
to the king
<04428>_.
{worse...: Heb. sadder} {sort: or, term, or, continuance?}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Daniel
<01840>
to Melzar
<04453>_,
whom the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
had set
<04487> (8765)
over Daniel
<01840>_,
Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04332>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_,
{Melzar: or, the steward}
Prove
<05254> (8761)
thy servants
<05650>_,
I beseech thee, ten
<06235>
days
<03117>_;
and let them give
<05414> (8799)
us pulse
<02235>
to eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and water
<04325>
to drink
<08354> (8799)_.
{pulse: Heb. of pulse} {to eat...: Heb. that we may eat, etc}
Then let our countenances
<04758>
be looked upon
<07200> (8735)
before
<06440>
thee, and the countenance
<04758>
of the children
<03206>
that eat
<0398> (8802)
of the portion
<06598> (0)
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_:
and as thou seest
<07200> (8799)_,
deal
<06213> (8798)
with thy servants
<05650>_.
So he consented
<08085> (8799)
to them in this matter
<01697>_,
and proved
<05254> (8762)
them ten
<06235>
days
<03117>_.
And at the end
<07117>
of ten
<06235>
days
<03117>
their countenances
<04758>
appeared
<07200> (8738)
fairer
<02896>
and fatter
<01277>
in flesh
<01320>
than all the children
<03206>
which did eat
<0398> (8802)
the portion
<06598> (0)
of the king's
<04428>
meat
<06598>_.
Thus Melzar
<04453>
took away
<05375> (8802)
the portion of their meat
<06598>_,
and the wine
<03196>
that they should drink
<04960>_;
and gave
<05414> (8802)
them pulse
<02235>_.
As for these four
<0702>
children
<03206>_,
God
<0430>
gave
<05414> (8804)
them knowledge
<04093>
and skill
<07919> (8687)
in all learning
<05612>
and wisdom
<02451>_:
and Daniel
<01840>
had understanding
<0995> (8689)
in all visions
<02377>
and dreams
<02472>_.
{Daniel...: or, he made Daniel understand}
Now at the end
<07117>
of the days
<03117>
that the king
<04428>
had said
<0559> (8804)
he should bring
<0935> (8687)
them in, then the prince
<08269>
of the eunuchs
<05631>
brought
<0935> (8686)
them in before
<06440>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>_.
And the king
<04428>
communed
<01696> (8762)
with them; and among them all was found
<04672> (8738)
none like Daniel
<01840>_,
Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04332>_,
and Azariah
<05838>_:
therefore stood
<05975> (8799)
they before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
And in all matters
<01697>
of wisdom
<02451>
[and] understanding
<0998>_,
that the king
<04428>
enquired
<01245> (8765)
of them, he found
<04672> (8799)
them ten times
<06235>
better
<03027>
than all the magicians
<02748>
[and] astrologers
<0825>
that [were] in all his realm
<04438>_.
{wisdom...: Heb. wisdom of understanding}
And Daniel
<01840>
continued [even] unto the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of king
<04428>
Cyrus
<03566>_.
And in the second
<08147>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
dreamed
<02492> (8804)
dreams
<02472>_,
wherewith his spirit
<07307>
was troubled
<06470> (8691)_,
and his sleep
<08142>
brake
<01961> (8738)
from him.
Then the king
<04428>
commanded
<0559> (8799)
to call
<07121> (8800)
the magicians
<02748>_,
and the astrologers
<0825>_,
and the sorcerers
<03784> (8764)_,
and the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
for to shew
<05046> (8687)
the king
<04428>
his dreams
<02472>_.
So they came
<0935> (8799)
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and my spirit
<07307>
was troubled
<06470> (8735)
to know
<03045> (8800)
the dream
<02472>_.
Then spake
<01696> (8762)
the Chaldeans
<03778>
to the king
<04428>
in Syriack
<0762>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_:
tell
<0560> (8747)
thy servants
<05649>
the dream
<02493>_,
and we will shew
<02324> (8741)
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{O king...: (Chaldee, to the end of chapter seven)}
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
The thing
<04406>
is gone
<0230> (8754)
from me
<04481>_:
if
<02006>
ye will not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the dream
<02493>_,
with the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, ye shall be cut
<05648> (8725)
in pieces
<01917>_,
and your houses
<01005>
shall be made
<07761> (8725)
a dunghill
<05122>_.
{cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
But if
<02006>
ye shew
<02324> (8681)
the dream
<02493>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, ye shall receive
<06902> (8741)
of
<04481>
me
<06925>
gifts
<04978>
and rewards
<05023>
and great
<07690>
honour
<03367>_:
therefore
<03861>
shew
<02324> (8680)
me the dream
<02493>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answered
<06032> (8754)
again
<08579>
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Let the king
<04430>
tell
<0560> (8748)
his servants
<05649>
the dream
<02493>_,
and we will shew
<02324> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
of it.
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
I
<0576>
know
<03046> (8751)
of
<04481>
certainty
<03330>
that ye
<0608>
would gain
<02084> (8750)
the time
<05732>_,
because
<06903> <03606>
ye see
<02370> (8754)
the thing
<04406>
is gone
<0230> (8754)
from
<04481>
me. {gain: Chaldee, buy}
But if
<02006>
ye will not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the dream
<02493>_,
[there is but] one
<01932> <02298>
decree
<01882>
for you: for ye have prepared
<02164> (8724)
lying
<03538>
and corrupt
<07844> (8752)
words
<04406>
to speak
<0560> (8749)
before
<06925>
me, till
<05705>
the time
<05732>
be changed
<08133> (8721)_:
therefore
<03861>
tell
<0560> (8747)
me the dream
<02493>_,
and I shall know
<03046> (8748)
that
<01768>
ye can shew
<02324> (8681)
me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
The Chaldeans
<03779>
answered
<06032> (8754)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
There is
<0383>
not
<03809>
a man
<0606>
upon
<05922>
the earth
<03007>
that can
<03202> (8748)
shew
<02324> (8682)
the king's
<04430>
matter
<04406>_:
therefore
<06903> <01768>
[there is] no
<03809>
king
<04430>_,
lord
<07229>_,
nor ruler
<07990>_,
[that] asked
<07593> (8754)
such
<01836>
things
<04406>
at any
<03606>
magician
<02749>_,
or astrologer
<0826>_,
or Chaldean
<03779>_.
And [it is] a rare
<03358>
thing
<04406>
that the king
<04430>
requireth
<07593> (8751)_,
and there is
<0383>
none
<03809>
other
<0321>
that can shew
<02324> (8741)
it before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
except
<03861>
the gods
<0426>_,
whose dwelling
<04070>
is
<0383>
not
<03809>
with
<05974>
flesh
<01321>_.
For
<06903>
this
<01836>
cause
<03606>
the king
<04430>
was angry
<01149> (8754)
and very
<07690>
furious
<07108> (8754)_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
to destroy
<07> (8682)
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
And the decree
<01882>
went forth
<05312> (8754)
that the wise
<02445>
[men] should be slain
<06992> (8726)_;
and they sought
<01156> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>
and his fellows
<02269>
to be slain
<06992> (8723)_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<08421> (8684)
with counsel
<05843>
and wisdom
<02942>
to Arioch
<0746>
the captain
<07229>
of
<01768>
the king's
<04430>
guard
<02877>_,
which was gone forth
<05312> (8754)
to slay
<06992> (8742)
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
{answered...: Chaldee, returned} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Chaldee, chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
He answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Arioch
<0746>
the king's
<04430>
captain
<07990>_,
Why
<04101> <05922>
[is] the decree
<01882>
[so] hasty
<02685> (8683)
from
<04481> <06925>
the king
<04430>_?
Then
<0116>
Arioch
<0746>
made the thing
<04406>
known
<03046> (8684)
to Daniel
<01841>_.
Then Daniel
<01841>
went in
<05954> (8754)_,
and desired
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>
that he would give
<05415> (8748)
him time
<02166>_,
and that he would shew
<02324> (8682)
the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
went
<0236> (8754)
to his house
<01005>_,
and made the thing
<04406>
known
<03046> (8684)
to Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04333>_,
and Azariah
<05839>_,
his companions
<02269>_:
That they would desire
<01156> (8749)
mercies
<07359>
of
<04481> <06925>
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
concerning
<05922>
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_;
that Daniel
<01841>
and his fellows
<02269>
should not
<03809>
perish
<07> (8681)
with
<05974>
the rest
<07606>
of the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
{of the God: Chaldee, from before God} {that Daniel...: or, that they should not destroy Daniel, etc}
Then
<0116>
was the secret
<07328>
revealed
<01541> (8752)
unto Daniel
<01841>
in a night
<03916>
vision
<02376>_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
blessed
<01289> (8745)
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>_.
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Blessed
<01289> (8743)
be
<01934> (8748)
the name
<08036>
of God
<0426>
for
<04481>
ever
<05957>
and ever
<05705> <05957>_:
for wisdom
<02452>
and might
<01370>
are
<01932>
his:
And he changeth
<08133> (8683)
the times
<05732>
and the seasons
<02166>_:
he removeth
<05709> (8683)
kings
<04430>_,
and setteth up
<06966> (8683)
kings
<04430>_:
he giveth
<03052> (8751)
wisdom
<02452>
unto the wise
<02445>_,
and knowledge
<04486>
to them that know
<03046> (8751)
understanding
<0999>_:
He revealeth
<01541> (8751)
the deep
<05994>
and secret things
<05642> (8743)_:
he knoweth
<03046> (8751)
what
<04101>
[is] in the darkness
<02816>_,
and the light
<05094>
dwelleth
<08271> (8754)
with him
<05974>_.
I
<0576>
thank
<03029> (8683)
thee, and praise
<07624> (8743)
thee, O thou God
<0426>
of my fathers
<02>_,
who hast given
<03052> (8754)
me wisdom
<02452>
and might
<01370>_,
and hast made known
<03046> (8684)
unto me now
<03705>
what we desired
<01156> (8754)
of thee
<04481>_:
for thou hast [now] made known
<03046> (8684)
unto us the king's
<04430>
matter
<04406>_.
Therefore
<03606> <06903> <01836>
Daniel
<01841>
went in
<05954> (8754)
unto
<05922>
Arioch
<0746>_,
whom the king
<04430>
had ordained
<04483> (8745)
to destroy
<07> (8682)
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
he went
<0236> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8754)
thus
<03652>
unto him; Destroy
<07> (8681)
not
<0409>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
bring me in
<05954> (8680)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
and I will shew
<02324> (8741)
unto the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
Then
<0116>
Arioch
<0746>
brought in
<05954> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>
in haste
<0927> (8726)_,
and said
<0560> (8754)
thus
<03652>
unto him, I have found
<07912> (8684)
a man
<01400>
of the captives
<01123> <01547>
of
<04481>
Judah
<03061>_,
that will make known
<03046> (8681)
unto the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{I have...: Chaldee, That I have found} {captives...: Chaldee, children of the captivity of Judah}
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Daniel
<01841>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
Art
<0383>
thou able
<03546> (8751)
to make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the dream
<02493>
which I have seen
<02370> (8754)_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof?
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
in the presence
<06925>
of the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
The secret
<07328>
which the king
<04430>
hath demanded
<07593> (8751)
cannot
<03202> (8750) <03809>
the wise
<02445>
[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,
the magicians
<02749>_,
the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_,
shew
<02324> (8682)
unto the king
<04430>_;
But
<01297>
there is
<0383>
a God
<0426>
in heaven
<08065>
that revealeth
<01541> (8751)
secrets
<07328>_,
and maketh known
<03046> (8684)
to the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
what
<04101>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
in the latter
<0320>
days
<03118>_.
Thy dream
<02493>_,
and the visions
<02376>
of thy head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
thy bed
<04903>_,
are these
<01836>_;
{maketh...: Chaldee, hath made known}
As for thee
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
thy thoughts
<07476>
came
<05559> (8760)
[into thy mind] upon
<05922>
thy bed
<04903>_,
what
<04101>
should come to pass
<01934> (8748)
hereafter
<0311> <01836>_:
and he that revealeth
<01541> (8751)
secrets
<07328>
maketh known
<03046> (8684)
to thee what
<04101>
shall come to pass
<01934> (8748)_.
{came: Chaldee, came up}
But as for me
<0576>_,
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>
is not
<03809>
revealed
<01541> (8752)
to me for [any] wisdom
<02452>
that I have
<0383>
more than
<04481>
any
<03606>
living
<02417>_,
but
<03861>
for [their] sakes
<01701>
that
<05922>
shall make known
<03046> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
to the king
<04430>_,
and that thou mightest know
<03046> (8748)
the thoughts
<07476>
of thy heart
<03825>_.
{but for...: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
sawest
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and behold
<0431>
a great
<02298> <07690>
image
<06755>_.
This
<01797>
great
<07229>
image
<06755>_,
whose brightness
<02122>
[was] excellent
<03493>_,
stood
<06966> (8750)
before
<06903>
thee; and the form
<07299>
thereof [was] terrible
<01763> (8753)_.
{sawest: Chaldee, wast seeing}
This image's
<06755>
head
<07217>
[was] of fine
<02869>
gold
<01722>_,
his breast
<02306>
and his arms
<01872>
of silver
<03702>_,
his belly
<04577>
and his thighs
<03410>
of brass
<05174>_,
{thighs: or, sides}
His legs
<08243>
of iron
<06523>_,
his feet
<07271>
part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_.
Thou sawest
<02370> (8751) <01934> (8754)
till
<05705>
that a stone
<069>
was cut out
<01505> (8728)
without
<03809>
hands
<03028>_,
which smote
<04223> (8754)
the image
<06755>
upon
<05922>
his feet
<07271>
[that were] of iron
<06523>
and clay
<02635>_,
and brake
<01855> (0)
them
<01994>
to pieces
<01855> (8684)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands}
Then
<0116>
was the iron
<06523>_,
the clay
<02635>_,
the brass
<05174>_,
the silver
<03702>_,
and the gold
<01722>_,
broken to pieces
<01855> (8754) (8676) <01751> (8754)
together
<02298>_,
and became
<01934> (8754)
like the chaff
<05784>
of
<04481>
the summer
<07007>
threshingfloors
<0147>_;
and the wind
<07308>
carried
<05376> (0)
them
<01994>
away
<05376> (8754)_,
that
<03606>
no
<03809>
place
<0870>
was found
<07912> (8728)
for them: and the stone
<069>
that smote
<04223> (8754)
the image
<06755>
became
<01934> (8754)
a great
<07229>
mountain
<02906>_,
and filled
<04391> (8754)
the whole
<03606>
earth
<0772>_.
This
<01836>
[is] the dream
<02493>_;
and we will tell
<0560> (8748)
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
[art] a king
<04430>
of kings
<04430>_:
for the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
hath given
<03052> (8754)
thee a kingdom
<04437>_,
power
<02632>_,
and strength
<08632>_,
and glory
<03367>_.
And wheresoever
<03606>
the children
<01123>
of men
<0606>
dwell
<01753> (8748)_,
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
and the fowls
<05776>
of the heaven
<08065>
hath he given
<03052> (8754)
into thine hand
<03028>_,
and hath made thee ruler
<07981> (8684)
over them all
<03606>_.
Thou
<0607>
[art] this head
<07217>
of gold
<01722>_.
And after
<0870>
thee shall arise
<06966> (8748)
another
<0317>
kingdom
<04437>
inferior
<0772>
to thee
<04481>_,
and another
<0317>
third
<08523>
kingdom
<04437>
of brass
<05174>_,
which shall bear rule
<07981> (8748)
over all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_.
And the fourth
<07244>
kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
strong
<08624>
as iron
<06523>_:
forasmuch as iron
<06523>
breaketh in pieces
<01855> (8683)
and subdueth
<02827> (8751)
all
<03606>
[things]: and as
<06903>
iron
<06523>
that breaketh
<07490> (8750)
all
<03606>
these
<0459>_,
shall it break in pieces
<01855> (8681)
and bruise
<07490> (8748)_.
And whereas thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
the feet
<07271>
and toes
<0677>_,
part
<04481>
of potters
<06353>_'
clay
<02635>_,
and part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>_,
the kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
divided
<06386> (8752)_;
but
<04481> (0)
there shall be
<01934> (8748)
in it of
<04481>
the strength
<05326>
of the iron
<06523>_,
forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
the iron
<06523>
mixed
<06151> (8743)
with miry
<02917>
clay
<02635>_.
And [as] the toes
<0677>
of the feet
<07271>
[were] part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>_,
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_,
[so] the kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
partly
<04481> <07118>
strong
<08624>_,
and partly
<04481> <07118>
broken
<08406> (8750)_.
{broken: or, brittle}
And whereas
<01768>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
iron
<06523>
mixed
<06151> (8743)
with miry
<02917>
clay
<02635>_,
they shall mingle themselves
<01934> (8748) <06151> (8723)
with the seed
<02234>
of men
<0606>_:
but they shall
<01934> (8748)
not
<03809>
cleave
<01693> (8751)
one
<01836>
to
<05974>
another
<01836>_,
even
<01888>
as iron
<06523>
is not
<03809>
mixed
<06151> (8723)
with clay
<02635>_.
{one...: Chaldee, this with this}
And in the days
<03118>
of these
<0581>
kings
<04430>
shall the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
set up
<06966> (8681)
a kingdom
<04437>_,
which shall never
<05957> <03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_:
and the kingdom
<04437>
shall not
<03809>
be left
<07662> (8721)
to other
<0321>
people
<05972>_,
[but] it shall break in pieces
<01855> (8681)
and consume
<05487> (8681)
all
<03606>
these
<0459>
kingdoms
<04437>_,
and it
<01932>
shall stand
<06966> (8748)
for ever
<05957>_.
{the days: Chaldee, their days} {the kingdom: Chaldee, the kingdom thereof}
Forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
that the stone
<069>
was cut out
<01505> (8728)
of the mountain
<02906>
without
<03809>
hands
<03028>_,
and that it brake in pieces
<01855> (8684)
the iron
<06523>_,
the brass
<05174>_,
the clay
<02635>_,
the silver
<03702>_,
and the gold
<01722>_;
the great
<07229>
God
<0426>
hath made known
<03046> (8684)
to the king
<04430>
what
<04101>
shall come to pass
<01934> (8748)
hereafter
<0311> <01836>_:
and the dream
<02493>
[is] certain
<03330>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof sure
<0540> (8683)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Chaldee, after this}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
fell
<05308> (8754)
upon
<05922>
his face
<0600>_,
and worshipped
<05457> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should offer
<05260> (8742)
an oblation
<04504>
and sweet odours
<05208>
unto him.
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Of
<04481>
a truth
<07187>
[it is], that
<01768>
your God
<0426>
[is] a God
<0426>
of gods
<0426>_,
and a Lord
<04756>
of kings
<04430>_,
and a revealer
<01541> (8751)
of secrets
<07328>_,
seeing thou couldest
<03202> (8754)
reveal
<01541> (8749)
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
made
<07236> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
a great man
<07236> (8745)_,
and gave
<03052> (8754)
him many
<07690>
great
<07260>
gifts
<04978>_,
and made him ruler
<07981> (8684)
over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
and chief
<07229>
of the governors
<05460>
over
<05922>
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
Then Daniel
<01841>
requested
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>_,
and he set
<04483> (8745)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_:
but Daniel
<01841>
[sat] in the gate
<08651>
of the king
<04430>_.
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
made
<05648> (8754)
an image
<06755>
of gold
<01722>_,
whose height
<07314>
[was] threescore
<08361>
cubits
<0521>_,
[and] the breadth
<06613>
thereof six
<08353>
cubits
<0521>_:
he set it up
<06966> (8684)
in the plain
<01236>
of Dura
<01757>_,
in the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
Then Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
sent
<07972> (8754)
to gather together
<03673> (8749)
the princes
<0324>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
the judges
<0148>_,
the treasurers
<01411>_,
the counsellors
<01884>_,
the sheriffs
<08614>_,
and all
<03606>
the rulers
<07984>
of the provinces
<04083>_,
to come
<0858> (8749)
to the dedication
<02597>
of the image
<06755>
which Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Then
<0116>
the princes
<0324>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and captains
<06347>_,
the judges
<0148>_,
the treasurers
<01411>_,
the counsellors
<01884>_,
the sheriffs
<08614>_,
and all
<03606>
the rulers
<07984>
of the provinces
<04083>_,
were gathered together
<03673> (8723)
unto the dedication
<02597>
of the image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_;
and they stood
<06966> (8750)
before
<06903>
the image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Then an herald
<03744>
cried
<07123> (8751)
aloud
<02429>_,
To you it is commanded
<0560> (8750)_,
O people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {it...: Chaldee, they command}
[That] at what time
<05732>
ye hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
dulcimer
<05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
ye fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
hath set up
<06966> (8684)_:
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
And whoso
<04479>
falleth
<05308> (0)
not
<03809>
down
<05308> (8748)
and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)
shall the same hour
<08160>
be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
Therefore
<06903> <01836>
at that time
<02166>_,
when
<01768>
all
<03606>
the people
<05972>
heard
<08086> (8750)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
all
<03606>
the people
<05972>_,
the nations
<0524>_,
and the languages
<03961>_,
fell down
<05308> (8750)
[and] worshipped
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
that Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
had set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Wherefore
<06903> <03606>
at that
<01836>
time
<02166>
certain
<01400>
Chaldeans
<03779>
came near
<07127> (8754)_,
and accused
<07170> <0399> (8754)
the Jews
<03062>_.
They spake
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
hast made
<07761> (8754)
a decree
<02942>_,
that every
<03606>
man
<0606>
that shall hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and dulcimer
<05481> (8675) <05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
shall fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>_:
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
And whoso
<04479>
falleth
<05308> (0)
not
<03809>
down
<05308> (8748)
and worshippeth
<05457> (8748)_,
[that] he should be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
There are
<0383>
certain
<01400>
Jews
<03062>
whom
<03487>
thou hast set
<04483> (8745)
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_;
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
O king
<04430>_,
have
<07761> (8754)
not
<03809>
regarded
<02942>
thee
<05922>_:
they serve
<06399> (8750)
not
<03809>
thy gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.
{have...: Chaldee, have set no regard upon thee}
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
in [his] rage
<07266>
and fury
<02528>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
to bring
<0858> (8682)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_.
Then
<0116>
they brought
<0858> (8717)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto them, [Is it] true
<06656>_,
O Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
do not
<03809>
ye
<0383>
serve
<06399> (8750)
my gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8750)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which I have set
<06966> (8684)
up? {true: or, of purpose}
Now
<03705>
if
<02006>
ye be
<0383>
ready
<06263>
that at what time
<05732>
ye hear
<08086> (8748)
the sound
<07032>
of the cornet
<07162>_,
flute
<04953>_,
harp
<07030> (8675) <07030>_,
sackbut
<05443>_,
psaltery
<06460>_,
and dulcimer
<05481>_,
and all
<03606>
kinds
<02178>
of musick
<02170>_,
ye fall down
<05308> (8748)
and worship
<05457> (8748)
the image
<06755>
which I have made
<05648> (8754)_;
[well]: but if
<02006>
ye worship
<05457> (8748)
not
<03809>_,
ye shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
the same hour
<08160>
into the midst
<01459>
of a burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_;
and who
<04479>
[is] that God
<0426>
that shall deliver
<07804> (8755)
you out of
<04481>
my hands
<03028>_?
{dulcimer: or, singing: Chaldee, symphony}
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
answered
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the king
<04430>_,
O Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
we
<0586>
[are] not
<03809>
careful
<02818> (8750)
to answer
<08421> (8682)
thee in
<05922>
this
<01836>
matter
<06600>_.
If
<02006>
it be [so], our God
<0426>
whom we
<0586>
serve
<06399> (8750)
is
<0383>
able
<03202> (8750)
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
us from
<04481>
the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_,
and
<04481> (0)
he will deliver
<07804> (8755)
[us] out of
<04481>
thine hand
<03028>_,
O king
<04430>_.
But if
<02006>
not
<03809>_,
be it
<01934> (8748)
known
<03046> (8752)
unto thee, O king
<04430>_,
that we will
<0383>
not
<03809>
serve
<06399> (8750)
thy gods
<0426>_,
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8748)
the golden
<01722>
image
<06755>
which thou hast set up
<06966> (8684)_.
Then
<0116>
was Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
full
<04391> (8728)
of fury
<02528>_,
and the form
<06755>
of his visage
<0600>
was changed
<08133> (8724)
against
<05922>
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_:
[therefore] he spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and commanded
<0560> (8750)
that they should heat
<0228> (8749)
the furnace
<0861>
one
<02298>
seven times
<07655>
more
<05922>
than
<01768>
it was wont
<02370> (8752)
to be heated
<0228> (8749)_.
{full: Chaldee, filled}
And he commanded
<0560> (8754)
the most
<02429>
mighty
<01401>
men
<01400>
that [were] in his army
<02429>
to bind
<03729> (8742)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
[and] to cast
<07412> (8749)
[them] into the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
{most...: Chaldee, mighty of strength}
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
were bound
<03729> (8760)
in their coats
<05622>_,
their hosen
<06361> (8675) <06361>_,
and their hats
<03737>_,
and their [other] garments
<03831>_,
and were cast
<07412> (8752)
into the midst
<01459>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
{coats: or, mantles} {hats: or, turbans}
Therefore
<03606> <06903>
because
<04481> <01836>
the king's
<04430>
commandment
<04406>
was urgent
<02685> (8683)_,
and the furnace
<0861>
exceeding
<03493>
hot
<0228> (8752)_,
the flame
<07631>
of the fire
<05135>
slew
<06992> (8745)
those
<0479>
men
<01400> <01994>
that took up
<05267> (8684)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_.
{commandment: Chaldee, word} {flame: or, spark}
And these
<0479>
three
<08532>
men
<01400>_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
fell down
<05308> (8754)
bound
<03729> (8743)
into the midst
<01459>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_.
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>
was astonied
<08429> (8754)_,
and rose up
<06966> (8754)
in haste
<0927> (8726)_,
[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto his counsellors
<01907>_,
Did not
<03809>
we cast
<07412> (8754)
three
<08532>
men
<01400>
bound
<03729> (8743)
into the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_?
They answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto the king
<04430>_,
True
<03330>_,
O king
<04430>_.
{counsellors: or, governors}
He answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Lo
<01888>_,
I
<0576>
see
<02370> (8751)
four
<0703>
men
<01400>
loose
<08271> (8750)_,
walking
<01981> (8683)
in the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_,
and they have
<0383>
no
<03809>
hurt
<02257>_;
and the form
<07299>
of the fourth
<07244>
is like
<01821> (8751)
the Son
<01247>
of God
<0426>_.
{they...: Chaldee, there is no hurt in them}
Then
<0116>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
came near
<07127> (8754)
to the mouth
<08651>
of the burning
<03345> (8751)
fiery
<05135>
furnace
<0861>_,
[and] spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
ye servants
<05649>
of the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>_,
come forth
<05312> (8747)_,
and come
<0858> (8747)
[hither]. Then
<0116>
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
came forth
<05312> (8750)
of
<04481>
the midst
<01459>
of the fire
<05135>_.
{mouth: Chaldee, door}
And the princes
<0324>_,
governors
<05460>_,
and captains
<06347>_,
and the king's
<04430>
counsellors
<01907>_,
being gathered together
<03673> (8723)_,
saw
<02370> (8751)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
upon whose bodies
<01655>
the fire
<05135>
had no
<03809>
power
<07981> (8754)_,
nor
<03809>
was an hair
<08177>
of their head
<07217>
singed
<02761> (8724)_,
neither
<03809>
were their coats
<05622>
changed
<08133> (8754)_,
nor
<03809>
the smell
<07382>
of fire
<05135>
had passed
<05709> (8754)
on them.
[Then] Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Blessed
<01289> (8752)
[be] the God
<0426>
of Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
who hath sent
<07972> (8754)
his angel
<04398>_,
and delivered
<07804> (8758)
his servants
<05649>
that trusted
<07365> (8702)
in him
<05922>_,
and have changed
<08133> (8745)
the king's
<04430>
word
<04406>_,
and yielded
<03052> (8754)
their bodies
<01655>_,
that they might not
<03809>
serve
<06399> (8748)
nor
<03809>
worship
<05457> (8748)
any
<03606>
god
<0426>_,
except
<03861>
their own God
<0426>_.
Therefore I
<04481>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
That every
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nation
<0524>_,
and language
<03961>_,
which speak
<0560> (8748)
any thing amiss
<07960> (8675) <07955>
against
<05922>
the God
<0426>
of Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
shall be cut
<05648> (8725)
in pieces
<01917>_,
and their houses
<01005>
shall be made
<07739> (8721)
a dunghill
<05122>_:
because
<06903> <03606>
there is
<0383>
no
<03809>
other
<0321>
God
<0426>
that can
<03202> (8748)
deliver
<05338> (8682)
after this
<01836>
sort. {I make...: Chaldee, a decree is made by me} {any...: Chaldee, error} {cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
promoted
<06744> (8684)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
in the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
{promoted: Chaldee, made to prosper}
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
the king
<04430>_,
unto all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
that dwell
<01753> (8748)
in all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_;
Peace
<08001>
be multiplied
<07680> (8748)
unto you.
I thought
<06925>
it good
<08232> (8754)
to shew
<02324> (8682)
the signs
<0852>
and wonders
<08540>
that the high
<05943>
God
<0426>
hath wrought
<05648> (8754)
toward
<05974>
me. {I thought...: Chaldee, It was seemly before me}
How
<04101>
great
<07260>
[are] his signs
<0852>_!
and how
<04101>
mighty
<08624>
[are] his wonders
<08540>_!
his kingdom
<04437>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
kingdom
<04437>_,
and his dominion
<07985>
[is] from
<05974>
generation
<01859>
to generation
<01859>_.
I
<0576>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
was
<01934> (8754)
at rest
<07954> (8752)
in mine house
<01005>_,
and flourishing
<07487>
in my palace
<01965>_:
I saw
<02370> (8754)
a dream
<02493>
which made me afraid
<01763> (8741)_,
and the thoughts
<02031>
upon
<05922>
my bed
<04903>
and the visions
<02376>
of my head
<07217>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
me.
Therefore
<04481> (0)
made
<07761> (8752)
I
<04481>
a decree
<02942>
to bring
<05954> (8682)
in all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>
before
<06925>
me, that they might make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
of the dream
<02493>_.
Then
<0116>
came
<05954> (8750)
in the magicians
<02749>_,
the astrologers
<0826>_,
the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
and the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_:
and I
<0576>
told
<0560> (8750)
the dream
<02493>
before
<06925>
them; but they did not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8683)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
But at
<05705>
the last
<0318>
Daniel
<01841>
came in
<05922>
before me
<06925>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
according to the name
<08036>
of my god
<0426>_,
and in whom [is] the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>_:
and before
<06925>
him I told
<0560> (8754)
the dream
<02493>_,
[saying],
O Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
master
<07229>
of the magicians
<02749>_,
because I
<0576>
know
<03046> (8754)
that the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>
[is] in thee, and no
<03606> <03809>
secret
<07328>
troubleth
<0598> (8750)
thee, tell
<0560> (8747)
me the visions
<02376>
of my dream
<02493>
that I have seen
<02370> (8754)_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
Thus [were] the visions
<02376>
of mine head
<07217>
in
<05922>
my bed
<04903>_;
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and behold
<0431>
a tree
<0363>
in the midst
<01459>
of the earth
<0772>_,
and the height
<07314>
thereof [was] great
<07690>_.
{I saw: Chaldee, I was seeing}
The tree
<0363>
grew
<07236> (8754)_,
and was strong
<08631> (8754)_,
and the height
<07314>
thereof reached
<04291> (8748)
unto heaven
<08065>_,
and the sight
<02379>
thereof to the end
<05491>
of all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_:
The leaves
<06074>
thereof [were] fair
<08209>_,
and the fruit
<04>
thereof much
<07690>_,
and in it [was] meat
<04203>
for all
<03606>_:
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
had shadow
<02927> (8681)
under
<08460>
it, and the fowls
<06853>
of the heaven
<08065>
dwelt
<01753> (8748)
in the boughs
<06056>
thereof, and all
<03606>
flesh
<01321>
was fed
<02110> (8729)
of it
<04481>_.
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
in the visions
<02376>
of my head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
my bed
<04903>_,
and, behold
<0431>_,
a watcher
<05894>
and an holy one
<06922>
came down
<05182> (8750)
from
<04481>
heaven
<08065>_;
He cried
<07123> (8751)
aloud
<02429>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>_,
Hew down
<01414>
the tree
<0363>_,
and cut off
<07113> (8745)
his branches
<06056>_,
shake off
<05426> (8680)
his leaves
<06074>_,
and scatter
<0921> (8745)
his fruit
<04>_:
let the beasts
<02423>
get away
<05111> (8748)
from
<04481>
under it
<08479>_,
and the fowls
<06853>
from
<04481>
his branches
<06056>_:
{aloud: Chaldee, with might}
Nevertheless
<01297>
leave
<07662> (8747)
the stump
<06136>
of his roots
<08330>
in the earth
<0772>_,
even with a band
<0613>
of iron
<06523>
and brass
<05174>_,
in the tender grass
<01883>
of the field
<01251>_;
and let it be wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and [let] his portion
<02508>
[be] with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
in the grass
<06211>
of the earth
<0772>_:
Let his heart
<03825>
be changed
<08133> (8741)
from
<04481>
man's
<0606>_,
and let a beast's
<02423>
heart
<03825>
be given
<03052> (8725)
unto him; and let seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
him.
This matter
<06600>
[is] by the decree
<01510>
of the watchers
<05894>_,
and the demand
<07595>
by the word
<03983>
of the holy ones
<06922>_:
to
<05705>
the intent
<01701>
that the living
<02417>
may know
<03046> (8748)
that the most High
<05943>
ruleth
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and giveth
<05415> (8748)
it to whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_,
and setteth up
<06966> (8681)
over
<05922>
it the basest
<08215>
of men
<0606>_.
This
<01836>
dream
<02493>
I
<0576>
king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
have seen
<02370> (8754)_.
Now thou
<0607>_,
O Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
declare
<0560> (8747)
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, forasmuch as
<06903>
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of my kingdom
<04437>
are not
<03809>
able
<03202> (8750)
to make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>_:
but thou
<0607>
[art] able
<03546> (8751)_;
for the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>
[is] in thee.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
was astonied
<08075> (8733)
for one
<02298>
hour
<08160>_,
and his thoughts
<07476>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
him. The king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
let not
<0409>
the dream
<02493>_,
or the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, trouble
<0927> (8792)
thee. Belteshazzar
<01096>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
My lord
<04756>_,
the dream
<02493>
[be] to them that hate
<08131> (8750)
thee, and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof to thine enemies
<06146>_.
The tree
<0363>
that thou sawest
<02370> (8754)_,
which grew
<07236> (8754)_,
and was strong
<08631> (8754)_,
whose height
<07314>
reached
<04291> (8748)
unto the heaven
<08065>_,
and the sight
<02379>
thereof to all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_;
Whose leaves
<06074>
[were] fair
<08209>_,
and the fruit
<04>
thereof much
<07690>_,
and in it [was] meat
<04203>
for all
<03606>_;
under
<08460>
which the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
dwelt
<01753> (8748)_,
and upon whose branches
<06056>
the fowls
<06853>
of the heaven
<08065>
had their habitation
<07932> (8748)_:
It [is] thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
that art grown
<07236> (8754)
and become strong
<08631> (8748)_:
for thy greatness
<07238>
is grown
<07236> (8754)_,
and reacheth
<04291> (8754)
unto heaven
<08065>_,
and thy dominion
<07985>
to the end
<05491>
of the earth
<0772>_.
And whereas the king
<04430>
saw
<02370> (8754)
a watcher
<05894>
and an holy one
<06922>
coming down
<05182> (8750)
from
<04481>
heaven
<08065>_,
and saying
<0560> (8750)_,
Hew
<01414> (0)
the tree
<0363>
down
<01414>_,
and destroy
<02255> (8740)
it; yet
<01297>
leave
<07662> (8747)
the stump
<06136>
of the roots
<08330>
thereof in the earth
<0772>_,
even with a band
<0613>
of iron
<06523>
and brass
<05174>_,
in the tender grass
<01883>
of the field
<01251>_;
and let it be wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and [let] his portion
<02508>
[be] with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>_,
till
<05705>
seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
him;
This
<01836>
[is] the interpretation
<06591>_,
O king
<04430>_,
and this
<01932>
[is] the decree
<01510>
of the most High
<05943>_,
which is come
<04291> (8754)
upon
<05922>
my lord
<04756>
the king
<04430>_:
That they shall drive
<02957> (8751)
thee from
<04481>
men
<0606>_,
and thy dwelling
<04070>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>_,
and they shall make thee to eat
<02939> (8748)
grass
<06211>
as oxen
<08450>_,
and they shall wet
<06647> (8743)
thee with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
shall pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
thee, till
<05705>
thou know
<03046> (8748)
that the most High
<05943>
ruleth
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and giveth
<05415> (8748)
it to whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
And whereas they commanded
<0560> (8754)
to leave
<07662> (8749)
the stump
<06136>
of the tree
<0363>
roots
<08330>_;
thy kingdom
<04437>
shall be sure
<07011>
unto thee, after
<04481>
that thou shalt have known
<03046> (8748)
that the heavens
<08065>
do rule
<07990>_.
Wherefore
<03861>_,
O king
<04430>_,
let my counsel
<04431>
be acceptable
<08232> (8748)
unto thee
<05922>_,
and break off
<06562> (8747)
thy sins
<02408>
by righteousness
<06665>_,
and thine iniquities
<05758>
by shewing mercy
<02604> (8749)
to the poor
<06033> (8750)_;
if
<02006>
it may be
<01934> (8748)
a lengthening
<0754>
of thy tranquillity
<07963>_.
{a lengthening...: or, an healing of thine error}
All
<03606>
this came
<04291> (8754)
upon
<05922>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_.
At the end
<07118>
of twelve
<08648> <06236>
months
<03393>
he walked
<01934> (8754) <01981> (8750)
in
<05922>
the palace
<01965>
of the kingdom
<04437>
of Babylon
<0895>_.
{in: or, upon}
The king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Is not
<03809>
this
<01932> <01668>
great
<07229>
Babylon
<0895>_,
that I
<0576>
have built
<01124> (8754)
for the house
<01005>
of the kingdom
<04437>
by the might
<08632>
of my power
<02632>_,
and for the honour
<03367>
of my majesty
<01923>_?
While
<05751>
the word
<04406>
[was] in the king's
<04430>
mouth
<06433>_,
there fell
<05308> (8754)
a voice
<07032>
from
<04481>
heaven
<08065>_,
[saying], O king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_,
to thee it is spoken
<0560> (8750)_;
The kingdom
<04437>
is departed
<05709> (8754)
from
<04481>
thee.
And they shall drive
<02957> (8751)
thee from
<04481>
men
<0606>_,
and thy dwelling
<04070>
[shall be] with
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>_:
they shall make thee to eat
<02939> (8748)
grass
<06211>
as oxen
<08450>_,
and seven
<07655>
times
<05732>
shall pass
<02499>
over
<05922>
thee, until
<05705>
thou know
<03046> (8748)
that the most High
<05943>
ruleth
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and giveth
<05415> (8748)
it to whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
The same hour
<08160>
was the thing
<04406>
fulfilled
<05487> (8754)
upon
<05922>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>_:
and he was driven
<02957> (8752)
from
<04481>
men
<0606>_,
and did eat
<0399> (8748)
grass
<06211>
as oxen
<08450>_,
and his body
<01655>
was wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_,
till
<05705>
his hairs
<08177>
were grown
<07236> (8754)
like eagles
<05403>_'
[feathers], and his nails
<02953>
like birds
<06853>_'
[claws].
And at the end
<07118>
of the days
<03118>
I
<0576>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
lifted up
<05191> (8754)
mine eyes
<05870>
unto heaven
<08065>_,
and mine understanding
<04486>
returned
<08421> (8748)
unto me
<05922>_,
and I blessed
<01289> (8745)
the most High
<05943>_,
and I praised
<07624> (8745)
and honoured
<01922> (8745)
him that liveth
<02417>
for ever
<05957>_,
whose dominion
<07985>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
dominion
<07985>_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[is] from
<05974>
generation
<01859>
to generation
<01859>_:
And all
<03606>
the inhabitants
<01753> (8748)
of the earth
<0772>
[are] reputed
<02804> (8752)
as nothing
<03809>_:
and he doeth
<05648> (8751)
according to his will
<06634> (8749)
in the army
<02429>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and [among] the inhabitants
<01753> (8748)
of the earth
<0772>_:
and none
<03809>
can
<0383>
stay
<04223> (8741)
his hand
<03028>_,
or say
<0560> (8748)
unto him, What
<04101>
doest
<05648> (8754)
thou?
At the same time
<02166>
my reason
<04486>
returned
<08421> (8748)
unto me
<05922>_;
and for the glory
<03367>
of my kingdom
<04437>_,
mine honour
<01923>
and brightness
<02122>
returned
<08421> (8748)
unto me
<05922>_;
and my counsellors
<01907>
and my lords
<07261>
sought
<01156> (8748)
unto me
<05922>_;
and I was established
<08627> (8717)
in my kingdom
<04437>_,
and excellent
<03493>
majesty
<07238>
was added
<03255> (8717)
unto me.
Now
<03705>
I
<0576>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
praise
<07624> (8743)
and extol
<07313> (8751)
and honour
<01922> (8743)
the King
<04430>
of heaven
<08065>_,
all
<03606>
whose works
<04567>
[are] truth
<07187>_,
and his ways
<0735>
judgment
<01780>_:
and those that walk
<01981> (8683)
in pride
<01467>
he is able
<03202> (8750)
to abase
<08214> (8682)_.
Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
made
<05648> (8754)
a great
<07229>
feast
<03900>
to a thousand
<0506>
of his lords
<07261>_,
and drank
<08355> (8750)
wine
<02562>
before
<06903>
the thousand
<0506>_.
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
whiles he tasted
<02942>
the wine
<02562>_,
commanded
<0560> (8754)
to bring
<0858> (8682)
the golden
<01722>
and silver
<03702>
vessels
<03984>
which his father
<02>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
had taken
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
which [was] in Jerusalem
<03390>_;
that the king
<04430>_,
and his princes
<07261>_,
his wives
<07695>_,
and his concubines
<03904>_,
might drink
<08355> (8748)
therein. {father: or, grandfather} {taken: Chaldee, brought forth}
Then
<0116>
they brought
<0858> (8684)
the golden
<01722>
vessels
<03984>
that were taken
<05312> (8684)
out of
<04481>
the temple
<01965>
of the house
<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [was] at Jerusalem
<03390>_;
and the king
<04430>_,
and his princes
<07261>_,
his wives
<07695>_,
and his concubines
<03904>_,
drank
<08355> (8754)
in them.
They drank
<08355> (8754)
wine
<02562>_,
and praised
<07624> (8745)
the gods
<0426>
of gold
<01722>_,
and of silver
<03702>_,
of brass
<05174>_,
of iron
<06523>_,
of wood
<0636>_,
and of stone
<069>_.
In the same hour
<08160>
came forth
<05312> (8754)
fingers
<0677>
of a man's
<0606>
hand
<03028>_,
and wrote
<03790> (8751)
over against
<06903>
the candlestick
<05043>
upon
<05922>
the plaister
<01528>
of the wall
<03797>
of the king's
<04430>
palace
<01965>_:
and the king
<04430>
saw
<02370> (8751)
the part
<06447>
of the hand
<03028>
that wrote
<03790> (8751)_.
Then
<0116>
the king's
<04430>
countenance
<02122>
was changed
<08133> (8754)_,
and his thoughts
<07476>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
him, so that the joints
<07001>
of his loins
<02783>
were loosed
<08271> (8723)_,
and his knees
<0755>
smote
<05368> (8750)
one
<01668>
against another
<01668>_.
{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses} {was changed: Chaldee, changed it} {joints: or, girdles: Chaldee, bindings, or, knots}
The king
<04430>
cried
<07123> (8748)
aloud
<02429>
to bring
<05954> (8682)
in the astrologers
<0826>_,
the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
and the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_.
[And] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_,
Whosoever
<0606> <03606>
shall read
<07123> (8751)
this
<01836>
writing
<03792>_,
and shew
<02324> (8741)
me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, shall be clothed
<03848> (8748)
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [have] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and shall be the third
<08523>
ruler
<07981> (8748)
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
{aloud: Chaldee, with might} {scarlet: or, purple}
Then
<0116>
came
<05954> (8750)
in all
<03606>
the king's
<04430>
wise
<02445>
[men]: but they could
<03546> (8751)
not
<03809>
read
<07123> (8749)
the writing
<03792>_,
nor make known
<03046> (8682)
to the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
Then
<0116>
was king
<04430>
Belshazzar
<01113>
greatly
<07690>
troubled
<0927> (8727)_,
and his countenance
<02122>
was changed
<08133> (8750)
in him
<05922>_,
and his lords
<07261>
were astonied
<07672> (8723)_.
{countenance: Chaldee, brightnesses}
[Now] the queen
<04433>_,
by reason
<06903>
of the words
<04406>
of the king
<04430>
and his lords
<07261>_,
came
<05954> (8754)
into the banquet
<04961>
house
<01005>_:
[and] the queen
<04433>
spake
<06032> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8754)_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_:
let not
<0409>
thy thoughts
<07476>
trouble
<0927> (8792)
thee, nor let thy countenance
<02122>
be changed
<08133> (8721)_:
There is
<0383>
a man
<01400>
in thy kingdom
<04437>_,
in whom [is] the spirit
<07308>
of the holy
<06922>
gods
<0426>_;
and in the days
<03118>
of thy father
<02>
light
<05094>
and understanding
<07924>
and wisdom
<02452>_,
like the wisdom
<02452>
of the gods
<0426>_,
was found
<07912> (8728)
in him; whom the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
thy father
<02>_,
the king
<04430>_,
[I say], thy father
<02>_,
made
<06966> (8684)
master
<07229>
of the magicians
<02749>_,
astrologers
<0826>_,
Chaldeans
<03779>_,
[and] soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_;
{father: or, grandfather}
Forasmuch as
<06903> <03606>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>_,
and knowledge
<04486>_,
and understanding
<07924>_,
interpreting
<06590> (8743)
of dreams
<02493>_,
and shewing
<0263>
of hard sentences
<0280>_,
and dissolving
<08271> (8743)
of doubts
<07001>_,
were found
<07912> (8728)
in the same Daniel
<01841>_,
whom the king
<04430>
named
<07761> (8754) <08036>
Belteshazzar
<01096>_:
now
<03705>
let Daniel
<01841>
be called
<07123> (8729)_,
and he will shew
<02324> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{interpreting: or, of an interpreter} {dissolving: or, of a dissolver} {doubts: Chaldee, knots}
Then
<0116>
was Daniel
<01841>
brought in
<05954> (8717)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
[And] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
[Art] thou
<0607>
that Daniel
<01841>_,
which [art] of
<04481>
the children
<01123>
of the captivity
<01547>
of Judah
<03061>_,
whom the king
<04430>
my father
<02>
brought
<0858> (8684)
out of
<04481>
Jewry
<03061>_?
{father: or, grandfather}
I have even heard
<08086> (8754)
of thee, that the spirit
<07308>
of the gods
<0426>
[is] in thee
<05922>_,
and [that] light
<05094>
and understanding
<07924>
and excellent
<03493>
wisdom
<02452>
is found
<07912> (8728)
in thee.
And now
<03705>
the wise
<02445>
[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,
have been brought
<05954> (8717)
in before
<06925>
me, that they should read
<07123> (8748)
this
<01836>
writing
<03792>_,
and make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof: but they could
<03546> (8751)
not
<03809>
shew
<02324> (8682)
the interpretation
<06591>
of the thing
<04406>_:
And I
<0576>
have heard
<08086> (8754)
of thee
<05922>_,
that thou canst
<03202> (8748)
make
<06590> (8749)
interpretations
<06591>_,
and dissolve
<08271> (8749)
doubts
<07001>_:
now
<03705>
if
<02006>
thou canst
<03202> (8748)
read
<07123> (8749)
the writing
<03792>_,
and make known
<03046> (8682)
to me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, thou shalt be clothed
<03848> (8748)
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [have] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
thy neck
<06676>_,
and shalt be the third
<08531>
ruler
<07981> (8748)
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
{make interpretations: Chaldee, interpret, etc}
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
Let thy gifts
<04978>
be
<01934> (8748)
to thyself, and give
<03052> (8747)
thy rewards
<05023>
to another
<0321>_;
yet
<01297>
I will read
<07123> (8748)
the writing
<03792>
unto the king
<04430>_,
and make known
<03046> (8681)
to him the interpretation
<06591>_.
{rewards: or, fee}
O thou
<0607>
king
<04430>_,
the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>
gave
<03052> (8754)
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
thy father
<02>
a kingdom
<04437>_,
and majesty
<07238>_,
and glory
<03367>_,
and honour
<01923>_:
And for
<04481>
the majesty
<07238>
that he gave
<03052> (8754)
him, all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
trembled
<01934> (8754) <02112>
and feared
<01763> (8751)
before
<04481>
him
<06925>_:
whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he slew
<01934> (8754) <06992> (8751)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he kept alive
<01934> (8754) <02418> (8683)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he set up
<01934> (8754) <07313> (8683)_;
and whom he would
<01934> (8754) <06634> (8750)
he put down
<01934> (8754) <08214> (8683)_.
But when his heart
<03825>
was lifted up
<07313> (8752)_,
and his mind
<07308>
hardened
<08631> (8748)
in pride
<02103> (8682)_,
he was deposed
<05182> (8717)
from
<04481>
his kingly
<04437>
throne
<03764>_,
and they took
<05709> (8684)
his glory
<03367>
from him
<04481>_:
{in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Chaldee, made to come down}
And he was driven
<02957> (8752)
from
<04481>
the sons
<01123>
of men
<0606>_;
and his heart
<03825>
was made
<07739> (8745)
like
<05974>
the beasts
<02423>_,
and his dwelling
<04070>
[was] with the wild asses
<06167>_:
they fed
<02939> (8748)
him with grass
<06211>
like oxen
<08450>_,
and his body
<01655>
was wet
<06647> (8721)
with the dew
<02920>
of heaven
<08065>_;
till
<05705>
he knew
<03046> (8754)
that the most high
<05943>
God
<0426>
ruled
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>
of men
<0606>_,
and [that] he appointeth
<06966> (8681)
over
<05922>
it whomsoever
<04479>
he will
<06634> (8748)_.
{his heart...: or, he made his heart equal, etc}
And thou
<0607>
his son
<01247>_,
O Belshazzar
<01113>_,
hast not
<03809>
humbled
<08214> (8684)
thine heart
<03825>_,
though
<06903>
thou knewest
<03046> (8754)
all
<03606>
this
<01836>_;
But hast lifted up
<07313> (8712)
thyself against
<05922>
the Lord
<04756>
of heaven
<08065>_;
and they have brought
<0858> (8684)
the vessels
<03984>
of his house
<01005>
before
<06925>
thee, and thou
<0607>_,
and thy lords
<07261>_,
thy wives
<07695>_,
and thy concubines
<03904>_,
have drunk
<08355> (8750)
wine
<02562>
in them; and thou hast praised
<07624> (8745)
the gods
<0426>
of silver
<03702>_,
and gold
<01722>_,
of brass
<05174>_,
iron
<06523>_,
wood
<0636>_,
and stone
<069>_,
which see
<02370> (8751)
not
<03809>_,
nor
<03809>
hear
<08086> (8750)_,
nor
<03809>
know
<03046> (8751)_:
and the God
<0426>
in whose hand
<03028>
thy breath
<05396>
[is], and whose [are] all
<03606>
thy ways
<0735>_,
hast thou not
<03809>
glorified
<01922> (8745)_:
Then
<0116>
was the part
<06447>
of the hand
<03028>
sent
<07972> (8750)
from
<04481>
him
<06925>_;
and this
<01836>
writing
<03792>
was written
<07560> (8752)_.
And this
<01836>
[is] the writing
<03792>
that was written
<07560> (8752)_,
MENE
<04484> (8752)_,
MENE
<04484> (8752)_,
TEKEL
<08625> (8752)_,
UPHARSIN
<06537> (8751)_.
This
<01836>
[is] the interpretation
<06591>
of the thing
<04406>_:
MENE
<04484> (8752)_;
God
<0426>
hath numbered
<04483> (8754)
thy kingdom
<04437>_,
and finished
<08000> (8684)
it.
TEKEL
<08625> (8752)_;
Thou art weighed
<08625> (8760)
in the balances
<03977>_,
and art found
<07912> (8728)
wanting
<02627>_.
PERES
<06537> (8752)_;
Thy kingdom
<04437>
is divided
<06537> (8752)_,
and given
<03052> (8753)
to the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_.
Then
<0116>
commanded
<0560> (8754)
Belshazzar
<01113>_,
and they clothed
<03848> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
with scarlet
<0711>_,
and [put] a chain
<02002>
of gold
<01722>
about
<05922>
his neck
<06676>_,
and made a proclamation
<03745> (8684)
concerning
<05922>
him, that he should be
<01934> (8748)
the third
<08531>
ruler
<07990>
in the kingdom
<04437>_.
In that night
<03916>
was Belshazzar
<01113>
the king
<04430>
of the Chaldeans
<03779>
slain
<06992> (8752)_.
And Darius
<01868>
the Median
<04077>
took
<06902> (8745)
the kingdom
<04437>_,
[being] about threescore
<08361>
and two
<08648>
years
<08140>
old
<01247>_.
{being...: Chaldee, he as the son of, etc} {about: or, now}
It pleased
<06925> <08232> (8754)
Darius
<01868>
to set
<06966> (8684)
over
<05922>
the kingdom
<04437>
an hundred
<03969>
and twenty
<06243>
princes
<0324>_,
which should be
<01934> (8748)
over the whole
<03606>
kingdom
<04437>_;
And over
<05924>
these
<04481>
three
<08532>
presidents
<05632>_;
of whom
<04481>
Daniel
<01841>
[was] first
<02298>_:
that
<0459>
the princes
<0324>
might
<01934> (8748)
give
<03052> (8751)
accounts
<02941>
unto them, and the king
<04430>
should have
<01934> (8748)
no
<03809>
damage
<05142> (8752)_.
Then
<0116>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
was
<01934> (8754)
preferred
<05330> (8723)
above
<05922>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>_,
because
<03606> <06903>
an excellent
<03493>
spirit
<07308>
[was] in him; and the king
<04430>
thought
<06246> (8754)
to set
<06966> (8682)
him over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
realm
<04437>_.
Then
<0116>
the presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
sought
<01934> (8754) <01156> (8750)
to find
<07912> (8682)
occasion
<05931>
against Daniel
<01841>
concerning
<06655>
the kingdom
<04437>_;
but
<03606>
they could
<03202> (8750)
find
<07912> (8682)
none
<03809>
occasion
<05931>
nor
<03809>
fault
<07844> (8752)_;
forasmuch
<06903>
as he [was] faithful
<0540> (8683)_,
neither
<03809>
was there any
<03606>
error
<07960>
or fault
<07844> (8752)
found
<07912> (8728)
in him
<05922>_.
Then
<0116>
said
<0560> (8750)
these
<0479>
men
<01400>_,
We shall not
<03809>
find
<07912> (8684)
any
<03606>
occasion
<05931>
against
<05922>
this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>_,
except
<03861>
we find
<07912> (8681)
[it] against him concerning the law
<01882>
of his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0459>
presidents
<05632>
and princes
<0324>
assembled together
<07284> (8684)
to the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto him
<05922>_,
King
<04430>
Darius
<01868>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
{assembled...: or, came tumultuously}
All
<03606>
the presidents
<05632>
of the kingdom
<04437>_,
the governors
<05460>_,
and the princes
<0324>_,
the counsellors
<01907>_,
and the captains
<06347>_,
have consulted together
<03272> (8724)
to establish
<06966> (8742)
a royal
<04430>
statute
<07010>_,
and to make a firm
<08631> (8742)
decree
<0633>_,
that whosoever shall ask
<01156> (8748)
a petition
<01159>
of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
for
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
he shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
{decree: or, interdict}
Now
<03705>_,
O king
<04430>_,
establish
<06966> (8681)
the decree
<0633>_,
and sign
<07560> (8748)
the writing
<03792>_,
that it be not
<03809>
changed
<08133> (8682)_,
according to the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_,
which altereth
<05709> (8748)
not
<03809>_.
{altereth not: Chaldee, passeth not}
Wherefore
<03606> <01836> <06903>
king
<04430>
Darius
<01868>
signed
<07560> (8754)
the writing
<03792>
and the decree
<0633>_.
Now when Daniel
<01841>
knew
<03046> (8754)
that the writing
<03792>
was signed
<07560> (8752)_,
he went
<05954> (8754)
into his house
<01005>_;
and his windows
<03551>
being open
<06606> (8759)
in his chamber
<05952>
toward
<05049>
Jerusalem
<03390>_,
he kneeled
<01289> (8750)
upon
<05922>
his knees
<01291>
three
<08532>
times
<02166>
a day
<03118>_,
and prayed
<06739> (8743)_,
and gave thanks
<03029> (8683)
before
<06925>
his God
<0426>_,
as
<06903> <03606>
he did
<01934> (8754) <05648> (8751)
aforetime
<04481> <01836> <06928>_.
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
assembled
<07284> (8684)_,
and found
<07912> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
praying
<01156> (8750)
and making supplication
<02604> (8723)
before
<06925>
his God
<0426>_.
Then
<0116>
they came near
<07127> (8754)_,
and spake
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>
concerning
<05922>
the king's
<04430>
decree
<0633>_;
Hast thou not
<03809>
signed
<07560> (8754)
a decree
<0633>_,
that every
<03606>
man
<0606>
that shall ask
<01156> (8748)
[a petition] of
<04481>
any
<03606>
God
<0426>
or man
<0606>
within
<05705>
thirty
<08533>
days
<03118>_,
save
<03861>
of thee
<04481>_,
O king
<04430>_,
shall be cast
<07412> (8729)
into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_?
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
The thing
<04406>
[is] true
<03330>_,
according to the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>_,
which altereth
<05709> (8748)
not
<03809>_.
Then
<0116>
answered
<06032> (8754)
they and said
<0560> (8750)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
That Daniel
<01841>_,
which [is] of
<04481>
the children
<01123>
of the captivity
<01547>
of Judah
<03061>_,
regardeth
<07761> (8754) <02942>
not
<03809>
thee
<05922>_,
O king
<04430>_,
nor the decree
<0633>
that thou hast signed
<07560> (8754)_,
but maketh
<01156> (8750)
his petition
<01159>
three
<08532>
times
<02166>
a day
<03118>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>_,
when he heard
<08086> (8754)
[these] words
<04406>_,
was sore
<07690>
displeased
<0888> (8754)
with himself, and set
<07761> (8754)
[his] heart
<01079>
on
<05922>
Daniel
<01841>
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
him: and he laboured
<01934> (8754) <07712> (8723)
till
<05705>
the going down
<04606>
of the sun
<08122>
to deliver
<05338> (8682)
him.
Then
<0116>
these
<0479>
men
<01400>
assembled
<07284> (8684)
unto
<05922>
the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto the king
<04430>_,
Know
<03046> (8747)_,
O king
<04430>_,
that the law
<01882>
of the Medes
<04076>
and Persians
<06540>
[is], That no
<03606>
decree
<0633>
nor statute
<07010>
which the king
<04430>
establisheth
<06966> (8681)
may be changed
<08133> (8682)_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
commanded
<0560> (8754)_,
and they brought
<0858> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and cast
<07412> (8754)
[him] into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
[Now] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
Thy God
<0426>
whom thou
<0607>
servest
<06399> (8750)
continually
<08411>_,
he will deliver
<07804> (8755)
thee.
And a
<02298>
stone
<069>
was brought
<0858> (8717)_,
and laid
<07761> (8752)
upon
<05922>
the mouth
<06433>
of the den
<01358>_;
and the king
<04430>
sealed
<02857> (8754)
it with his own signet
<05824>_,
and with the signet
<05824>
of his lords
<07261>_;
that the purpose
<06640>
might not
<03809>
be changed
<08133> (8748)
concerning Daniel
<01841>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
went
<0236> (8754)
to his palace
<01965>_,
and passed the night
<0956> (8754)
fasting
<02908>_:
neither
<03809>
were instruments
<01761>
of musick brought
<05954> (8684)
before
<06925>
him: and his sleep
<08139>
went
<05075> (8754)
from him
<05922>_.
{instruments...: or, table}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
arose
<06966> (8748)
very early
<08238>
in the morning
<05053>_,
and went
<0236> (8754)
in haste
<0927> (8726)
unto the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_.
And when he came
<07127> (8749)
to the den
<01358>_,
he cried
<02200> (8754)
with a lamentable
<06088> (8750)
voice
<07032>
unto Daniel
<01841>_:
[and] the king
<04430>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Daniel
<01841>_,
O Daniel
<01841>_,
servant
<05649>
of the living
<02417>
God
<0426>_,
is thy God
<0426>_,
whom thou servest
<06399> (8750)
continually
<08411>_,
able
<03202> (8754)
to deliver
<07804> (8756)
thee from
<04481>
the lions
<0744>_?
Then
<0116>
said
<04449> (8745)
Daniel
<01841>
unto
<05974>
the king
<04430>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_.
My God
<0426>
hath sent
<07972> (8754)
his angel
<04398>_,
and hath shut
<05463> (8754)
the lions
<0744>_'
mouths
<06433>_,
that they have not
<03809>
hurt
<02255> (8745)
me: forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
before
<06925>
him innocency
<02136>
was found
<07912> (8728)
in me; and also
<0638>
before
<06925>
thee, O king
<04430>_,
have I done
<05648> (8754)
no
<03809>
hurt
<02248>_.
Then
<0116>
was the king
<04430>
exceeding
<07690>
glad
<02868> (8754)
for him
<05922>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should take
<05267> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
up
<05267> (8682)
out of
<04481>
the den
<01358>_.
So Daniel
<01841>
was taken up
<05267> (8717)
out of
<04481>
the den
<01358>_,
and no
<03809>
manner
<03606>
of hurt
<02257>
was found
<07912> (8728)
upon him, because he believed
<0540> (8684)
in his God
<0426>_.
And the king
<04430>
commanded
<0560> (8754)_,
and they brought
<0858> (8684)
those
<0479>
men
<01400>
which had accused
<0399> (8754) <07170>
Daniel
<01841>_,
and they cast
<07412> (8754)
[them] into the den
<01358>
of lions
<0744>_,
them
<0581>_,
their children
<01123>_,
and their wives
<05389>_;
and the lions
<0744>
had the mastery
<05705> <07981> (8754)
of them, and brake
<01855> (0)
all
<03606>
their bones
<01635>
in pieces
<01855> (8684)
or ever
<03809>
they came
<04291> (8754)
at the bottom
<0773>
of the den
<01358>_.
Then
<0116>
king
<04430>
Darius
<01868>
wrote
<03790> (8754)
unto all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
that dwell
<01753> (8748)
in all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_;
Peace
<08001>
be multiplied
<07680> (8748)
unto you.
I
<04481> <06925>
make
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
That in every
<03606>
dominion
<07985>
of my kingdom
<04437>
men tremble
<01934> (8748) <02112>
and fear
<01763> (8751)
before
<04481> <06925>
the God
<0426>
of Daniel
<01841>_:
for he [is] the living
<02417>
God
<0426>_,
and stedfast
<07011>
for ever
<05957>_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[that] which shall not
<03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_,
and his dominion
<07985>
[shall be even] unto
<05705>
the end
<05491>_.
He delivereth
<07804> (8757)
and rescueth
<05338> (8683)_,
and he worketh
<05648> (8751)
signs
<0852>
and wonders
<08540>
in heaven
<08065>
and in earth
<0772>_,
who hath delivered
<07804> (8758)
Daniel
<01841>
from
<04481>
the power
<03028>
of the lions
<0744>_.
{power: Chaldee, hand}
So this
<01836>
Daniel
<01841>
prospered
<06744> (8684)
in the reign
<04437>
of Darius
<01868>_,
and in the reign
<04437>
of Cyrus
<03567>
the Persian
<06543>_.
In the first
<02298>
year
<08140>
of Belshazzar
<01113>
king
<04430>
of Babylon
<0895>
Daniel
<01841>
had
<02370> (8754)
a dream
<02493>
and visions
<02376>
of his head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
his bed
<04903>_:
then
<0116>
he wrote
<03790> (8754)
the dream
<02493>_,
[and] told
<0560> (8754)
the sum
<07217>
of the matters
<04406>_.
{had: Chaldee, saw} {matters: or, words}
Daniel
<01841>
spake
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
I saw
<02370> (8751) <01934> (8754)
in my vision
<02376>
by
<05974>
night
<03916>_,
and, behold
<0718>_,
the four
<0703>
winds
<07308>
of the heaven
<08065>
strove
<01519> (8683)
upon the great
<07229>
sea
<03221>_.
And four
<0703>
great
<07260>
beasts
<02423>
came up
<05559> (8751)
from
<04481>
the sea
<03221>_,
diverse
<08133> (8750)
one
<01668>
from
<04481>
another
<01668>_.
The first
<06933>
[was] like a lion
<0744>_,
and had eagle's
<05403>
wings
<01611>_:
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
till
<05705>
the wings
<01611>
thereof were plucked
<04804> (8760)_,
and it was lifted up
<05191> (8760)
from
<04481>
the earth
<0772>_,
and made stand
<06966> (8717)
upon
<05922>
the feet
<07271>
as a man
<0606>_,
and a man's
<0606>
heart
<03825>
was given
<03052> (8753)
to it. {and it: or, wherewith it}
And behold
<0718>
another
<0317>
beast
<02423>_,
a second
<08578>_,
like
<01821> (8751)
to a bear
<01678>_,
and it raised up
<06966> (8684)
itself on one
<02298>
side
<07859>_,
and [it had] three
<08532>
ribs
<05967>
in the mouth
<06433>
of it between
<0997>
the teeth
<08128>
of it: and they said
<0560> (8750)
thus
<03652>
unto it, Arise
<06966> (8747)_,
devour
<0399> (8747)
much
<07690>
flesh
<01321>_.
{it raised...: or, it raised up one dominion}
After
<0870>
this
<01836>
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and lo
<0718>
another
<0317>_,
like a leopard
<05245>_,
which had upon
<05922>
the back
<01355>
of it four
<0703>
wings
<01611>
of a fowl
<05776>_;
the beast
<02423>
had also four
<0703>
heads
<07217>_;
and dominion
<07985>
was given
<03052> (8753)
to it.
After
<0870>
this
<01836>
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
in the night
<03916>
visions
<02376>_,
and behold
<0718>
a fourth
<07244>
beast
<02423>_,
dreadful
<01763> (8753)
and terrible
<0574>_,
and strong
<08624>
exceedingly
<03493>_;
and it had great
<07260>
iron
<06523>
teeth
<08128>_:
it devoured
<0399> (8750)
and brake in pieces
<01855> (8683)_,
and stamped
<07512> (8751)
the residue
<07606>
with the feet
<07271>
of it: and it
<01932>
[was] diverse
<08133> (8743)
from
<04481>
all
<03606>
the beasts
<02423>
that [were] before
<06925>
it; and it had ten
<06236>
horns
<07162>_.
I considered
<01934> (8754) <07920> (8723)
the horns
<07162>_,
and, behold
<0431>_,
there came up
<05559> (8754)
among
<0997>
them another
<0317>
little
<02192>
horn
<07162>_,
before
<06925> <04481>
whom there were three
<08532>
of
<04481>
the first
<06933>
horns
<07162>
plucked up by the roots
<06132> (8725)_:
and, behold
<0431>_,
in this
<01668>
horn
<07162>
[were] eyes
<05870>
like the eyes
<05870>
of man
<0606>_,
and a mouth
<06433>
speaking
<04449> (8743)
great things
<07260>_.
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
till
<05705>
the thrones
<03764>
were cast down
<07412> (8752)_,
and the Ancient
<06268>
of days
<03118>
did sit
<03488> (8754)_,
whose garment
<03831>
[was] white
<02358>
as snow
<08517>_,
and the hair
<08177>
of his head
<07217>
like the pure
<05343>
wool
<06015>_:
his throne
<03764>
[was like] the fiery
<05135>
flame
<07631>_,
[and] his wheels
<01535>
[as] burning
<01815> (8751)
fire
<05135>_.
A fiery
<05135>
stream
<05103>
issued
<05047> (8743)
and came forth
<05312> (8750)
from
<04481>
before
<06925>
him: thousand
<0506>
thousands
<0506>
ministered
<08120> (8741)
unto him, and ten thousand
<07240>
times ten thousand
<07240>
stood
<06966> (8748)
before
<06925>
him: the judgment
<01780>
was set
<03488> (8754)_,
and the books
<05609>
were opened
<06606> (8760)_.
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
then
<0116>
because
<04481>
of the voice
<07032>
of the great
<07260>
words
<04406>
which the horn
<07162>
spake
<04449> (8743)_:
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
[even] till
<05705>
the beast
<02423>
was slain
<06992> (8752)_,
and his body
<01655>
destroyed
<07> (8717)_,
and given
<03052> (8753)
to the burning
<03346>
flame
<0785>_.
As concerning the rest
<07606>
of the beasts
<02423>_,
they had their dominion
<07985>
taken away
<05709> (8684)_:
yet their lives
<02417>
were prolonged
<03052> (8753)
for
<05705>
a season
<02166>
and time
<05732>_.
{their lives...: Chaldee, a prolonging in life was given them}
I saw
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)
in the night
<03916>
visions
<02376>_,
and, behold
<0718>_,
[one] like the Son
<01247>
of man
<0606>
came
<0858> (8750)
with
<05974>
the clouds
<06050>
of heaven
<08065>_,
and came
<04291> (8754)
to
<05705>
the Ancient
<06268>
of days
<03118>_,
and they brought him near
<07127> (8684)
before
<06925>
him.
And there was given
<03052> (8753)
him dominion
<07985>_,
and glory
<03367>_,
and a kingdom
<04437>_,
that all
<03606>
people
<05972>_,
nations
<0524>_,
and languages
<03961>_,
should serve
<06399> (8748)
him: his dominion
<07985>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
dominion
<07985>_,
which shall not
<03809>
pass away
<05709> (8748)_,
and his kingdom
<04437>
[that] which shall not
<03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_.
I
<0576>
Daniel
<01841>
was grieved
<03735> (8730)
in my spirit
<07308>
in the midst
<01459>
of [my] body
<05085>_,
and the visions
<02376>
of my head
<07217>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
me. {body: Chaldee, sheath}
I came near
<07127> (8754)
unto
<05922>
one
<02298>
of
<04481>
them that stood by
<06966> (8750)_,
and asked
<01156> (8748)
him
<04481>
the truth
<03330>
of all
<03606>
this
<01836>_.
So he told
<0560> (8754)
me, and made me know
<03046> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
of the things
<04406>_.
These
<0459>
great
<07260>
beasts
<02423>_,
which
<0581>
are four
<0703>_,
[are] four
<0703>
kings
<04430>_,
[which] shall arise
<06966> (8748)
out of
<04481>
the earth
<0772>_.
But the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>
shall take
<06902> (8741)
the kingdom
<04437>_,
and possess
<02631> (8681)
the kingdom
<04437>
for
<05705>
ever
<05957>_,
even for
<05705>
ever
<05957>
and ever
<05957>_.
{most...: Chaldee, high ones, that is, things, or, places}
Then
<0116>
I would
<06634> (8754)
know the truth
<03321> (8742)
of
<05922>
the fourth
<07244>
beast
<02423>_,
which was
<01934> (8754)
diverse
<08133> (8750)
from
<04481>
all
<03606>
the others, exceeding
<03493>
dreadful
<01763> (8753)_,
whose teeth
<08128>
[were of] iron
<06523>_,
and his nails
<02953>
[of] brass
<05174>_;
[which] devoured
<0399> (8750)_,
brake in pieces
<01855> (8683)_,
and stamped
<07512> (8751)
the residue
<07606>
with his feet
<07271>_;
{from...: Chaldee, from all those}
And of
<05922>
the ten
<06236>
horns
<07162>
that [were] in his head
<07217>_,
and [of] the other
<0317>
which came up
<05559> (8754)_,
and before
<04481> <06925>
whom three
<08532>
fell
<05308> (8754)_;
even [of] that horn
<07162>
that
<01797>
had eyes
<05870>_,
and a mouth
<06433>
that spake
<04449> (8743)
very great things
<07260>_,
whose look
<02376>
[was] more
<04481> (0)
stout
<07229>
than
<04481>
his fellows
<02273>_.
I beheld
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and the same
<01797>
horn
<07162>
made
<05648> (8751)
war
<07129>
with
<05974>
the saints
<06922>_,
and prevailed
<03202> (8750)
against them;
Until
<05705>
the Ancient
<06268>
of days
<03118>
came
<0858> (8754) <01768>_,
and judgment
<01780>
was given
<03052> (8753)
to the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>_;
and the time
<02166>
came
<04291> (8754)
that the saints
<06922>
possessed
<02631> (8684)
the kingdom
<04437>_.
Thus
<03652>
he said
<0560> (8754)_,
The fourth
<07244>
beast
<02423>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
the fourth
<07244>
kingdom
<04437>
upon earth
<0772>_,
which shall be diverse
<08133> (8748)
from
<04481>
all
<03606>
kingdoms
<04437>_,
and shall devour
<0399> (8748)
the whole
<03606>
earth
<0772>_,
and shall tread it down
<01759> (8748)_,
and break it in pieces
<01855> (8681)_.
And the ten
<06236>
horns
<07162>
out of
<04481>
this kingdom
<04437>
[are] ten
<06236>
kings
<04430>
[that] shall arise
<06966> (8748)_:
and another
<0321>
shall rise
<06966> (8748)
after
<0311>
them; and he shall be diverse
<08133> (8748)
from
<04481>
the first
<06933>_,
and he shall subdue
<08214> (8681)
three
<08532>
kings
<04430>_.
And he shall speak
<04449> (8741)
[great] words
<04406>
against
<06655>
the most High
<05943>_,
and shall wear out
<01080> (8741)
the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>_,
and think
<05452> (8748)
to change
<08133> (8682)
times
<02166>
and laws
<01882>_:
and they shall be given
<03052> (8725)
into his hand
<03028>
until
<05705>
a time
<05732>
and times
<05732>
and the dividing
<06387>
of time
<05732>_.
But the judgment
<01780>
shall sit
<03488> (8754)_,
and they shall take away
<05709> (8681)
his dominion
<07985>_,
to consume
<08046> (8682)
and to destroy
<07> (8682)
[it] unto
<05705>
the end
<05491>_.
And the kingdom
<04437>
and dominion
<07985>_,
and the greatness
<07238>
of the kingdom
<04437>
under
<08460>
the whole
<03606>
heaven
<08065>_,
shall be given
<03052> (8753)
to the people
<05972>
of the saints
<06922>
of the most High
<05946>_,
whose kingdom
<04437>
[is] an everlasting
<05957>
kingdom
<04437>_,
and all
<03606>
dominions
<07985>
shall serve
<06399> (8748)
and obey
<08086> (8721)
him. {dominions: or, rulers}
Hitherto
<05705> <03542>
[is] the end
<05491>
of the matter
<04406>_.
As for me
<0576>
Daniel
<01841>_,
my cogitations
<07476>
much
<07690>
troubled
<0927> (8792)
me, and my countenance
<02122>
changed
<08133> (8721)
in me
<05922>_:
but I kept
<05202> (8754)
the matter
<04406>
in my heart
<03821>_.
In the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of king
<04428>
Belshazzar
<01112>
a vision
<02377>
appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto me, [even unto] me Daniel
<01840>_,
after
<0310>
that which appeared
<07200> (8738)
unto me at the first
<08462>_.
And I saw
<07200> (8799)
in a vision
<02377>_;
and it came to pass, when I saw
<07200> (8800)_,
that I [was] at Shushan
<07800>
[in] the palace
<01002>_,
which [is] in the province
<04082>
of Elam
<05867>_;
and I saw
<07200> (8799)
in a vision
<02377>_,
and I was by the river
<0180>
of Ulai
<0195>_.
Then I lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, there stood
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
the river
<0180>
a
<0259>
ram
<0352>
which had [two] horns
<07161>_:
and the [two] horns
<07161>
[were] high
<01364>_;
but one
<0259>
[was] higher
<01364>
than the other
<08145>_,
and the higher
<01364>
came up
<05927> (8802)
last
<0314>_.
{the other: Heb. the second}
I saw
<07200> (8804)
the ram
<0352>
pushing
<05055> (8764)
westward
<03220>_,
and northward
<06828>_,
and southward
<05045>_;
so that no beasts
<02416>
might stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
him, neither [was there any] that could deliver
<05337> (8688)
out of his hand
<03027>_;
but he did
<06213> (8804)
according to his will
<07522>_,
and became great
<01431> (8689)_.
And as I was considering
<0995> (8688)_,
behold, an he
<05795>
goat
<06842>
came
<0935> (8802)
from the west
<04628>
on the face
<06440>
of the whole earth
<0776>_,
and touched
<05060> (8802)
not the ground
<0776>_:
and the goat
<06842>
[had] a notable
<02380>
horn
<07161>
between his eyes
<05869>_.
{touched...: or, none touched him in the earth} {a notable...: Heb. a horn of sight}
And he came
<0935> (8799)
to the ram
<0352>
that had
<01167>
[two] horns
<07161>_,
which I had seen
<07200> (8804)
standing
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
the river
<0180>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
unto him in the fury
<02534>
of his power
<03581>_.
And I saw
<07200> (8804)
him come
<05060> (8688)
close unto
<0681>
the ram
<0352>_,
and he was moved with choler
<04843> (8698)
against him, and smote
<05221> (8686)
the ram
<0352>_,
and brake
<07665> (8762)
his two
<08147>
horns
<07161>_:
and there was no power
<03581>
in the ram
<0352>
to stand
<05975> (8800)
before
<06440>
him, but he cast him down
<07993> (8686)
to the ground
<0776>_,
and stamped
<07429> (8799)
upon him: and there was none that could deliver
<05337> (8688)
the ram
<0352>
out of his hand
<03027>_.
Therefore the he
<06842>
goat
<05795>
waxed very
<03966>
great
<01431> (8689)_:
and when he was strong
<06105> (8800)_,
the great
<01419>
horn
<07161>
was broken
<07665> (8738)_;
and for it came up
<05927> (8799)
four
<0702>
notable ones
<02380>
toward the four
<0702>
winds
<07307>
of heaven
<08064>_.
And out of one
<0259>
of them came forth
<03318> (8804)
a little
<04704>
horn
<07161>_,
which waxed exceeding
<03499>
great
<01431> (8799)_,
toward the south
<05045>_,
and toward the east
<04217>_,
and toward the pleasant
<06643>
[land].
And it waxed great
<01431> (8799)_,
[even] to the host
<06635>
of heaven
<08064>_;
and it cast down
<05307> (8686)
[some] of the host
<06635>
and of the stars
<03556>
to the ground
<0776>_,
and stamped
<07429> (8799)
upon them. {to the host: or, against the host}
Yea, he magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] even to the prince
<08269>
of the host
<06635>_,
and by him the daily
<08548>
[sacrifice] was taken away
<07311> (8717) (8675) <07311> (8689)_,
and the place
<04349>
of his sanctuary
<04720>
was cast down
<07993> (8717)_.
{to: or, against} {by him: or, from him}
And an host
<06635>
was given
<05414> (8735)
[him] against the daily
<08548>
[sacrifice] by reason of transgression
<06588>_,
and it cast down
<07993> (8686)
the truth
<0571>
to the ground
<0776>_;
and it practised
<06213> (8804)_,
and prospered
<06743> (8689)_.
{an host...: or, the host was given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice}
Then I heard
<08085> (8799)
one
<0259>
saint
<06918>
speaking
<01696> (8764)_,
and another
<0259>
saint
<06918>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto that certain
<06422>
[saint] which spake
<01696> (8764)_,
How long [shall be] the vision
<02377>
[concerning] the daily
<08548>
[sacrifice], and the transgression
<06588>
of desolation
<08074> (8802)_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
both the sanctuary
<06944>
and the host
<06635>
to be trodden under foot
<04823>_?
{that...: or, the numberer of secrets, or, the wonderful numberer: Heb. Palmoni} {of...: or, making desolate}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Unto two thousand
<0505>
and three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
days
<06153> <01242>_;
then shall the sanctuary
<06944>
be cleansed
<06663> (8738)_.
{days: Heb. evening morning} {cleansed: Heb. justified}
And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel
<01840>_,
had seen
<07200> (8800)
the vision
<02377>_,
and sought
<01245> (8762)
for the meaning
<0998>_,
then, behold, there stood
<05975> (8802)
before me as the appearance
<04758>
of a man
<01397>_.
And I heard
<08085> (8799)
a man's
<0120>
voice
<06963>
between [the banks of] Ulai
<0195>_,
which called
<07121> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Gabriel
<01403>_,
make this
<01975>
[man] to understand
<0995> (8685)
the vision
<04758>_.
So he came
<0935> (8799)
near
<0681>
where I stood
<05977>_:
and when he came
<0935> (8800)_,
I was afraid
<01204> (8738)_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
upon my face
<06440>_:
but he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Understand
<0995> (8685)_,
O son
<01121>
of man
<0120>_:
for at the time
<06256>
of the end
<07093>
[shall be] the vision
<02377>_.
Now as he was speaking
<01696> (8763)
with me, I was in a deep sleep
<07290> (8738)
on my face
<06440>
toward the ground
<0776>_:
but he touched
<05060> (8799)
me, and set
<05975> (8686)
me upright
<05977>_.
{set...: Heb. made me stand upon my standing}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I will make thee know
<03045> (8688)
what shall be in the last end
<0319>
of the indignation
<02195>_:
for at the time appointed
<04150>
the end
<07093>
[shall be].
The ram
<0352>
which thou sawest
<07200> (8804)
having
<01167>
[two] horns
<07161>
[are] the kings
<04428>
of Media
<04074>
and Persia
<06539>_.
And the rough
<08163>
goat
<06842>
[is] the king
<04428>
of Grecia
<03120>_:
and the great
<01419>
horn
<07161>
that [is] between his eyes
<05869>
[is] the first
<07223>
king
<04428>_.
Now that being broken
<07665> (8737)_,
whereas four
<0702>
stood up
<05975> (8799)
for it, four
<0702>
kingdoms
<04438>
shall stand up
<05975> (8799)
out of the nation
<01471>_,
but not in his power
<03581>_.
And in the latter time
<0319>
of their kingdom
<04438>_,
when the transgressors
<06586> (8802)
are come to the full
<08552> (8687)_,
a king
<04428>
of fierce
<05794>
countenance
<06440>_,
and understanding
<0995> (8688)
dark sentences
<02420>_,
shall stand up
<05975> (8799)_.
{are...: Heb. are accomplished}
And his power
<03581>
shall be mighty
<06105> (8804)_,
but not by his own power
<03581>_:
and he shall destroy
<07843> (8686)
wonderfully
<06381> (8737)_,
and shall prosper
<06743> (8689)_,
and practise
<06213> (8804)_,
and shall destroy
<07843> (8689)
the mighty
<06099>
and the holy
<06918>
people
<05971>_.
{holy...: Heb. people of the holy ones}
And through his policy
<07922>
also he shall cause craft
<04820>
to prosper
<06743> (8689)
in his hand
<03027>_;
and he shall magnify
<01431> (8686)
[himself] in his heart
<03824>_,
and by peace
<07962>
shall destroy
<07843> (8686)
many
<07227>_:
he shall also stand up
<05975> (8799)
against the Prince
<08269>
of princes
<08269>_;
but he shall be broken
<07665> (8735)
without
<0657>
hand
<03027>_.
{peace: or, prosperity}
And the vision
<04758>
of the evening
<06153>
and the morning
<01242>
which was told
<0559> (8738)
[is] true
<0571>_:
wherefore shut thou up
<05640> (8798)
the vision
<02377>_;
for it [shall be] for many
<07227>
days
<03117>_.
And I Daniel
<01840>
fainted
<01961> (8738)_,
and was sick
<02470> (8738)
[certain] days
<03117>_;
afterward I rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and did
<06213> (8799)
the king's
<04428>
business
<04399>_;
and I was astonished
<08074> (8709)
at the vision
<04758>_,
but none understood
<0995> (8688)
[it].
In the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of Darius
<01867>
the son
<01121>
of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,
of the seed
<02233>
of the Medes
<04074>_,
which was made king
<04427> (8717)
over the realm
<04438>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_;
{which: or, in which he}
In the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)
I Daniel
<01840>
understood
<0995> (8804)
by books
<05612>
the number
<04557>
of the years
<08141>_,
whereof the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
that he would accomplish
<04390> (8763)
seventy
<07657>
years
<08141>
in the desolations
<02723>
of Jerusalem
<03389>_.
And I set
<05414> (8799)
my face
<06440>
unto the Lord
<0136>
God
<0430>_,
to seek
<01245> (8763)
by prayer
<08605>
and supplications
<08469>_,
with fasting
<06685>_,
and sackcloth
<08242>_,
and ashes
<0665>_:
And I prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
and made my confession
<03034> (8691)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O
<0577>
Lord
<0136>_,
the great
<01419>
and dreadful
<03372> (8737)
God
<0410>_,
keeping
<08104> (8802)
the covenant
<01285>
and mercy
<02617>
to them that love
<0157> (8802)
him, and to them that keep
<08104> (8802)
his commandments
<04687>_;
We have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and have committed iniquity
<05753> (8804)_,
and have done wickedly
<07561> (8689)_,
and have rebelled
<04775> (8804)_,
even by departing
<05493> (8800)
from thy precepts
<04687>
and from thy judgments
<04941>_:
Neither have we hearkened
<08085> (8804)
unto thy servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_,
which spake
<01696> (8765)
in thy name
<08034>
to our kings
<04428>_,
our princes
<08269>_,
and our fathers
<01>_,
and to all the people
<05971>
of the land
<0776>_.
O Lord
<0136>_,
righteousness
<06666>
[belongeth] unto thee, but unto us confusion
<01322>
of faces
<06440>_,
as at this day
<03117>_;
to the men
<0376>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Jerusalem
<03389>_,
and unto all Israel
<03478>_,
[that are] near
<07138>_,
and [that are] far off
<07350>_,
through all the countries
<0776>
whither thou hast driven
<05080> (8689)
them, because of their trespass
<04604>
that they have trespassed
<04603> (8804)
against thee. {belongeth...: or, thou hast}
O Lord
<0136>_,
to us [belongeth] confusion
<01322>
of face
<06440>_,
to our kings
<04428>_,
to our princes
<08269>_,
and to our fathers
<01>_,
because we have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against thee.
To the Lord
<0136>
our God
<0430>
[belong] mercies
<07356>
and forgivenesses
<05547>_,
though we have rebelled
<04775> (8804)
against him;
Neither have we obeyed
<08085> (8804)
the voice
<06963>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
to walk
<03212> (8800)
in his laws
<08451>_,
which he set
<05414> (8804)
before
<06440>
us by
<03027>
his servants
<05650>
the prophets
<05030>_.
Yea, all Israel
<03478>
have transgressed
<05674> (8804)
thy law
<08451>_,
even by departing
<05493> (8800)_,
that they might not obey
<08085> (8800)
thy voice
<06963>_;
therefore the curse
<0423>
is poured
<05413> (8799)
upon us, and the oath
<07621>
that [is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>
the servant
<05650>
of God
<0430>_,
because we have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against him.
And he hath confirmed
<06965> (8686)
his words
<01697>_,
which he spake
<01696> (8765)
against us, and against our judges
<08199> (8802)
that judged
<08199> (8804)
us, by bringing
<0935> (8687)
upon us a great
<01419>
evil
<07451>_:
for under the whole heaven
<08064>
hath not been done
<06213> (8738)
as hath been done
<06213> (8738)
upon Jerusalem
<03389>_.
As [it is] written
<03789> (8803)
in the law
<08451>
of Moses
<04872>_,
all this evil
<07451>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon us: yet made we not our prayer
<02470> (8765)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
that we might turn
<07725> (8800)
from our iniquities
<05771>_,
and understand
<07919> (8687)
thy truth
<0571>_.
{made...: Heb. intreated we not the face of the, etc}
Therefore hath the LORD
<03068>
watched
<08245> (8799)
upon the evil
<07451>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
it upon us: for the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>
[is] righteous
<06662>
in all his works
<04639>
which he doeth
<06213> (8804)_:
for we obeyed
<08085> (8804)
not his voice
<06963>_.
And now, O Lord
<0136>
our God
<0430>_,
that hast brought
<03318> (0)
thy people
<05971>
forth
<03318> (8689)
out of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
with a mighty
<02389>
hand
<03027>_,
and hast gotten
<06213> (8799)
thee renown
<08034>_,
as at this day
<03117>_;
we have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
we have done wickedly
<07561> (8804)_.
{gotten...: Heb. made thee a name}
O Lord
<0136>_,
according to all thy righteousness
<06666>_,
I beseech thee, let thine anger
<0639>
and thy fury
<02534>
be turned away
<07725> (8799)
from thy city
<05892>
Jerusalem
<03389>_,
thy holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_:
because for our sins
<02399>_,
and for the iniquities
<05771>
of our fathers
<01>_,
Jerusalem
<03389>
and thy people
<05971>
[are become] a reproach
<02781>
to all [that are] about
<05439>
us.
Now therefore, O our God
<0430>_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the prayer
<08605>
of thy servant
<05650>_,
and his supplications
<08469>_,
and cause thy face
<06440>
to shine
<0215> (8685)
upon thy sanctuary
<04720>
that is desolate
<08076>_,
for the Lord's
<0136>
sake.
O my God
<0430>_,
incline
<05186> (8685)
thine ear
<0241>_,
and hear
<08085> (8798)_;
open
<06491> (8798)
thine eyes
<05869>_,
and behold
<07200> (8798)
our desolations
<08074> (8802)_,
and the city
<05892>
which is called
<07121> (8738)
by thy name
<08034>_:
for we do not present
<05307> (8688)
our supplications
<08469>
before
<06440>
thee for our righteousnesses
<06666>_,
but for thy great
<07227>
mercies
<07356>_.
{which...: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
O Lord
<0136>_,
hear
<08085> (8798)_;
O Lord
<0136>_,
forgive
<05545> (8798)_;
O Lord
<0136>_,
hearken
<07181> (8685)
and do
<06213> (8798)_;
defer
<0309> (8762)
not
<0408>_,
for thine own sake, O my God
<0430>_:
for thy city
<05892>
and thy people
<05971>
are called
<07121> (8738)
by thy name
<08034>_.
And whiles I [was] speaking
<01696> (8764)_,
and praying
<06419> (8693)_,
and confessing
<03034> (8693)
my sin
<02403>
and the sin
<02403>
of my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_,
and presenting
<05307> (8688)
my supplication
<08467>
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>
for the holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>
of my God
<0430>_;
Yea, whiles I [was] speaking
<01696> (8764)
in prayer
<08605>_,
even the man
<0376>
Gabriel
<01403>_,
whom I had seen
<07200> (8804)
in the vision
<02377>
at the beginning
<08462>_,
being caused to fly
<03286> (8716)
swiftly
<03288>_,
touched
<05060> (8802)
me about the time
<06256>
of the evening
<06153>
oblation
<04503>_.
{swiftly: Heb. with weariness, or, flight}
And he informed
<0995> (8799)
[me], and talked
<01696> (8762)
with me, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O Daniel
<01840>_,
I am now come forth
<03318> (8804)
to give thee skill
<07919> (8687)
and understanding
<0998>_.
{to...: Heb. to make thee skilful of}
At the beginning
<08462>
of thy supplications
<08469>
the commandment
<01697>
came forth
<03318> (8804)_,
and I am come
<0935> (8804)
to shew
<05046> (8687)
[thee]; for thou [art] greatly beloved
<02532>_:
therefore understand
<0995> (8798)
the matter
<01697>_,
and consider
<0995> (8685)
the vision
<04758>_.
{commandment: Heb. word} {greatly...: Heb. a man of desires}
Seventy
<07657>
weeks
<07620>
are determined
<02852> (8738)
upon thy people
<05971>
and upon thy holy
<06944>
city
<05892>_,
to finish
<03607> (8763)
the transgression
<06588>_,
and to make an end
<08552> (8687) (8675) <02856> (8800)
of sins
<02403>_,
and to make reconciliation
<03722> (8763)
for iniquity
<05771>_,
and to bring in
<0935> (8687)
everlasting
<05769>
righteousness
<06664>_,
and to seal up
<02856> (8800)
the vision
<02377>
and prophecy
<05030>_,
and to anoint
<04886> (8800)
the most

Holy

{finish: or, restrain} {make an...: or, seal up} {prophecy: Heb. prophet}
Know
<03045> (8799)
therefore and understand
<07919> (8686)_,
[that] from the going forth
<04161>
of the commandment
<01697>
to restore
<07725> (8687)
and to build
<01129> (8800)
Jerusalem
<03389>
unto the Messiah

the street

again

and the wall

times

{be built...: Heb. return and be built} {wall: or, breach, or, ditch} {troublous: Heb. strait of}
And after
<0310>
threescore
<08346>
and two
<08147>
weeks
<07620>
shall Messiah
<04899>
be cut off
<03772> (8735)_,
but not for himself: and the people
<05971>
of the prince
<05057>
that shall come
<0935> (8802)
shall destroy
<07843> (8686)
the city
<05892>
and the sanctuary
<06944>_;
and the end
<07093>
thereof [shall be] with a flood
<07858>_,
and unto the end
<07093>
of the war
<04421>
desolations

are determined
<02782> (8737)_.
{but...: or, and shall have nothing} {desolations...: or, it shall be cut off by desolations}
And he shall confirm
<01396> (8689)
the covenant
<01285>
with many
<07227>
for one
<0259>
week
<07620>_:
and in the midst
<02677>
of the week
<07620>
he shall cause the sacrifice
<02077>
and the oblation
<04503>
to cease
<07673> (8686)_,
and for the overspreading
<03671>
of abominations
<08251>
he shall make [it] desolate
<08074> (8789)_,
even until the consummation
<03617>_,
and that determined
<02782> (8737)
shall be poured

upon the desolate
<08074> (8802)_.

In the third
<07969>
year
<08141>
of Cyrus
<03566>
king
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>
a thing
<01697>
was revealed
<01540> (8738)
unto Daniel
<01840>_,
whose name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8738)
Belteshazzar
<01095>_;
and the thing
<01697>
[was] true
<0571>_,
but the time appointed
<06635>
[was] long
<01419>_:
and he understood
<0995> (8804)
the thing
<01697>_,
and had understanding
<0998>
of the vision
<04758>_.
{long: Heb. great}
In those days
<03117>
I Daniel
<01840>
was mourning
<056> (8693)
three
<07969>
full
<03117>
weeks
<07620>_.
{full...: Heb. weeks of days}
I ate
<0398> (8804)
no pleasant
<02532>
bread
<03899>_,
neither came
<0935> (8804)
flesh
<01320>
nor wine
<03196>
in my mouth
<06310>_,
neither did I anoint
<05480> (8804)
myself at all
<05480> (8800)_,
till three
<07969>
whole
<03117>
weeks
<07620>
were fulfilled
<04390> (8800)_.
{pleasant...: Heb. bread of desires}
And in the four
<0702>
and twentieth
<06242>
day
<03117>
of the first
<07223>
month
<02320>_,
as I was by the side
<03027>
of the great
<01419>
river
<05104>_,
which [is] Hiddekel
<02313>_;
Then I lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a certain
<0259>
man
<0376>
clothed
<03847> (8803)
in linen
<0906>_,
whose loins
<04975>
[were] girded
<02296> (8803)
with fine gold
<03800>
of Uphaz
<0210>_:
{a...: Heb. one man}
His body
<01472>
also [was] like the beryl
<08658>_,
and his face
<06440>
as the appearance
<04758>
of lightning
<01300>_,
and his eyes
<05869>
as lamps
<03940>
of fire
<0784>_,
and his arms
<02220>
and his feet
<04772>
like in colour
<05869>
to polished
<07044>
brass
<05178>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of his words
<01697>
like the voice
<06963>
of a multitude
<01995>_.
And I Daniel
<01840>
alone saw
<07200> (8804)
the vision
<04759>_:
for the men
<0582>
that were with me saw
<07200> (8804)
not the vision
<04759>_;
but
<061>
a great
<01419>
quaking
<02731>
fell
<05307> (8804)
upon them, so that they fled
<01272> (8799)
to hide
<02244> (8736)
themselves.
Therefore I was left alone
<07604> (8738)_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
this great
<01419>
vision
<04759>_,
and there remained
<07604> (8738)
no strength
<03581>
in me: for my comeliness
<01935>
was turned
<02015> (8738)
in me into corruption
<04889>_,
and I retained
<06113> (8804)
no strength
<03581>_.
{comeliness: or, vigour}
Yet heard
<08085> (8799)
I the voice
<06963>
of his words
<01697>_:
and when I heard
<08085> (8800)
the voice
<06963>
of his words
<01697>_,
then was I in a deep sleep
<07290> (8737)
on my face
<06440>_,
and my face
<06440>
toward the ground
<0776>_.
And, behold, an hand
<03027>
touched
<05060> (8804)
me, which set
<05128> (8686)
me upon my knees
<01290>
and [upon] the palms
<03709>
of my hands
<03027>_.
{set: Heb. moved}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, O Daniel
<01840>_,
a man
<0376>
greatly beloved
<02532>_,
understand
<0995> (8685)
the words
<01697>
that I speak
<01696> (8802)
unto thee, and stand
<05975> (8798)
upright
<05977>_:
for unto thee am I now sent
<07971> (8795)_.
And when he had spoken
<01696> (8763)
this word
<01697>
unto me, I stood
<05975> (8804)
trembling
<07460> (8688)_.
{greatly...: Heb. of desires} {upright: Heb. upon thy standing}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he unto me, Fear
<03372> (8799)
not, Daniel
<01840>_:
for from the first
<07223>
day
<03117>
that thou didst set
<05414> (8804)
thine heart
<03820>
to understand
<0995> (8687)_,
and to chasten
<06031> (8692)
thyself before
<06440>
thy God
<0430>_,
thy words
<01697>
were heard
<08085> (8738)_,
and I am come
<0935> (8804)
for thy words
<01697>_.
But the prince
<08269>
of the kingdom
<04438>
of Persia
<06539>
withstood
<05975> (8802)
me one
<0259>
and twenty
<06242>
days
<03117>_:
but, lo, Michael
<04317>_,
one
<0259>
of the chief
<07223>
princes
<08269>_,
came
<0935> (8804)
to help
<05826> (8800)
me; and I remained
<03498> (8738)
there with
<0681>
the kings
<04428>
of Persia
<06539>_.
{chief: or, first}
Now I am come
<0935> (8804)
to make thee understand
<0995> (8687)
what shall befall
<07136> (8799)
thy people
<05971>
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_:
for yet the vision
<02377>
[is] for [many] days
<03117>_.
And when he had spoken
<01696> (8763)
such words
<01697>
unto me, I set
<05414> (8804)
my face
<06440>
toward the ground
<0776>_,
and I became dumb
<0481> (8738)_.
And, behold, [one] like the similitude
<01823>
of the sons
<01121>
of men
<0120>
touched
<05060> (8802)
my lips
<08193>_:
then I opened
<06605> (8799)
my mouth
<06310>_,
and spake
<01696> (8762)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him that stood
<05975> (8802)
before me, O my lord
<0113>_,
by the vision
<04759>
my sorrows
<06735>
are turned
<02015> (8738)
upon me, and I have retained
<06113> (8804)
no strength
<03581>_.
For how
<01963>
can
<03201> (8799)
the servant
<05650>
of this my lord
<0113>
talk
<01696> (8763)
with this my lord
<0113>_?
for as for me, straightway
<06258>
there remained
<05975> (8799)
no strength
<03581>
in me, neither is there breath
<05397>
left
<07604> (8738)
in me. {the...: or, this servant of my lord}
Then there came again
<03254> (8686)
and touched
<05060> (8799)
me [one] like the appearance
<04758>
of a man
<0120>_,
and he strengthened
<02388> (8762)
me,
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
O man
<0376>
greatly beloved
<02532>_,
fear
<03372> (8799)
not: peace
<07965>
[be] unto thee, be strong
<02388> (8798)_,
yea, be strong
<02388> (8798)_.
And when he had spoken
<01696> (8763)
unto me, I was strengthened
<02388> (8694)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let my lord
<0113>
speak
<01696> (8762)_;
for thou hast strengthened
<02388> (8765)
me.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
he, Knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou wherefore I come
<0935> (8804)
unto thee? and now will I return
<07725> (8799)
to fight
<03898> (8736)
with the prince
<08269>
of Persia
<06539>_:
and when I am gone forth
<03318> (8802)_,
lo, the prince
<08269>
of Grecia
<03120>
shall come
<0935> (8804)_.
But
<061>
I will shew
<05046> (8686)
thee that which is noted
<07559> (8803)
in the scripture
<03791>
of truth
<0571>_:
and [there is] none
<0259>
that holdeth
<02388> (8693)
with me in these things, but Michael
<04317>
your prince
<08269>_.
{holdeth: Heb. strengtheneth himself}
Also I in the first
<0259>
year
<08141>
of Darius
<01867>
the Mede
<04075>_,
[even] I, stood
<05977>
to confirm
<02388> (8688)
and to strengthen
<04581>
him.
And now will I shew
<05046> (8686)
thee the truth
<0571>_.
Behold, there shall stand up
<05975> (8802)
yet three
<07969>
kings
<04428>
in Persia
<06539>_;
and the fourth
<07243>
shall be far
<06239>
richer
<06238> (8686)
than [they] all
<01419>_:
and by his strength
<02393>
through his riches
<06239>
he shall stir up
<05782> (8686)
all against the realm
<04438>
of Grecia
<03120>_.
And a mighty
<01368>
king
<04428>
shall stand up
<05975> (8804)_,
that shall rule
<04910> (8804)
with great
<07227>
dominion
<04474>_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
according to his will
<07522>_.
And when he shall stand up
<05975> (8800)_,
his kingdom
<04438>
shall be broken
<07665> (8735)_,
and shall be divided
<02673> (8735)
toward the four
<0702>
winds
<07307>
of heaven
<08064>_;
and not to his posterity
<0319>_,
nor according to his dominion
<04915>
which he ruled
<04910> (8804)_:
for his kingdom
<04438>
shall be plucked up
<05428> (8735)_,
even for others
<0312>
beside those.
And the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>
shall be strong
<02388> (8799)_,
and [one] of his princes
<08269>_;
and he shall be strong
<02388> (8799)
above him, and have dominion
<04910> (8804)_;
his dominion
<04475>
[shall be] a great
<07227>
dominion
<04474>_.
And in the end
<07093>
of years
<08141>
they shall join themselves together
<02266> (8691)_;
for the king's
<04428>
daughter
<01323>
of the south
<05045>
shall come
<0935> (8799)
to the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>
to make
<06213> (8800)
an agreement
<04339>_:
but she shall not retain
<06113> (8799)
the power
<03581>
of the arm
<02220>_;
neither shall he stand
<05975> (8799)_,
nor his arm
<02220>_:
but she shall be given up
<05414> (8735)_,
and they that brought
<0935> (8688)
her, and he that begat
<03205> (8802)
her, and he that strengthened
<02388> (8688)
her in [these] times
<06256>_.
{join...: Heb. associate themselves} {an...: Heb. rights} {he that begat...: or, whom she brought forth}
But out of a branch
<05342>
of her roots
<08328>
shall [one] stand up
<05975> (8804)
in his estate
<03653>_,
which shall come
<0935> (8799)
with an army
<02428>_,
and shall enter
<0935> (8799)
into the fortress
<04581>
of the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>_,
and shall deal
<06213> (8804)
against them, and shall prevail
<02388> (8689)_:
{in...: or, in his place, or, office}
And shall also carry
<0935> (8686)
captives
<07628>
into Egypt
<04714>
their gods
<0430>_,
with their princes
<05257>_,
[and] with their precious
<02532>
vessels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>
and of gold
<02091>_;
and he shall continue
<05975> (8799)
[more] years
<08141>
than the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>_.
{their precious...: Heb. vessels of their desire}
So the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
into [his] kingdom
<04438>_,
and shall return
<07725> (8804)
into his own land
<0127>_.
But his sons
<01121>
shall be stirred up
<01624> (8691)_,
and shall assemble
<0622> (8804)
a multitude
<01995>
of great
<07227>
forces
<02428>_:
and [one] shall certainly
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8804)_,
and overflow
<07857> (8804)_,
and pass through
<05674> (8804)_:
then shall he return
<07725> (8799)_,
and be stirred up
<01624> (8691)_,
[even] to his fortress
<04581>_.
{shall be...: or, shall war} {return...: or, be stirred up again}
And the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>
shall be moved with choler
<04843> (8698)_,
and shall come forth
<03318> (8804)
and fight
<03898> (8738)
with him, [even] with the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>_:
and he shall set forth
<05975> (8689)
a great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_;
but the multitude
<01995>
shall be given
<05414> (8738)
into his hand
<03027>_.
[And] when he hath taken away
<05375> (8738)
the multitude
<01995>_,
his heart
<03824>
shall be lifted up
<07311> (8804) (8675) <07311> (8799)_;
and he shall cast down
<05307> (8689)
[many] ten thousands
<07239>_:
but he shall not be strengthened
<05810> (8799)
[by it].
For the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>
shall return
<07725> (8804)_,
and shall set forth
<05975> (8689)
a multitude
<01995>
greater
<07227>
than the former
<07223>_,
and shall certainly
<0935> (8800)
come
<0935> (8799)
after
<07093>
certain
<06256>
years
<08141>
with a great
<01419>
army
<02428>
and with much
<07227>
riches
<07399>_.
{after...: Heb. at the end of times, even years}
And in those times
<06256>
there shall many
<07227>
stand up
<05975> (8799)
against the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>_:
also the robbers
<01121> <06530>
of thy people
<05971>
shall exalt
<05375> (8691)
themselves to establish
<05975> (8687)
the vision
<02377>_;
but they shall fall
<03782> (8738)_.
{the robbers: Heb. the children of robbers}
So the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>
shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
and cast up
<08210> (8799)
a mount
<05550>_,
and take
<03920> (8804)
the most fenced
<04013>
cities
<05892>_:
and the arms
<02220>
of the south
<05045>
shall not withstand
<05975> (8799)_,
neither his chosen
<04005>
people
<05971>_,
neither [shall there be any] strength
<03581>
to withstand
<05975> (8800)_.
{the most...: Heb. the city of munitions} {his...: Heb. the people of his choices}
But he that cometh
<0935> (8802)
against him shall do
<06213> (8799)
according to his own will
<07522>_,
and none shall stand
<05975> (8802)
before
<06440>
him: and he shall stand
<05975> (8799)
in the glorious
<06643>
land
<0776>_,
which by his hand
<03027>
shall be consumed
<03617>_.
{glorious...: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of ornament}
He shall also set
<07760> (8799)
his face
<06440>
to enter
<0935> (8800)
with the strength
<08633>
of his whole kingdom
<04438>_,
and upright ones
<03477>
with him; thus shall he do
<06213> (8804)_:
and he shall give
<05414> (8799)
him the daughter
<01323>
of women
<0802>_,
corrupting
<07843> (8687)
her: but she shall not stand
<05975> (8799)
[on his side], neither be for him. {upright...: or, much uprightness: or, equal conditions} {corrupting: Heb. to corrupt}
After this shall he turn
<07760> (8799) (8675) <07725> (8686)
his face
<06440>
unto the isles
<0339>_,
and shall take
<03920> (8804)
many
<07227>_:
but a prince
<07101>
for his own behalf shall cause the reproach
<02781>
offered by him to cease
<07673> (8689)_;
without
<01115>
his own reproach
<02781>
he shall cause [it] to turn
<07725> (8686)
upon him. {for...: Heb. for him} {the reproach...: Heb. his reproach}
Then he shall turn
<07725> (8686)
his face
<06440>
toward the fort
<04581>
of his own land
<0776>_:
but he shall stumble
<03782> (8738)
and fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and not be found
<04672> (8735)_.
Then shall stand up
<05975> (8804)
in his estate
<03653>
a raiser
<05674> (8688)
of taxes
<05065> (8802)
[in] the glory
<01925>
of the kingdom
<04438>_:
but within few
<0259>
days
<03117>
he shall be destroyed
<07665> (8735)_,
neither in anger
<0639>_,
nor in battle
<04421>_.
{estate: or, place} {a...: Heb. one that causeth an exacter to pass over} {anger: Heb. angers}
And in his estate
<03653>
shall stand up
<05975> (8804)
a vile person
<0959> (8737)_,
to whom they shall not give
<05414> (8804)
the honour
<01935>
of the kingdom
<04438>_:
but he shall come
<0935> (8804)
in peaceably
<07962>_,
and obtain
<02388> (8689)
the kingdom
<04438>
by flatteries
<02519>_.
{estate: or, place}
And with the arms
<02220>
of a flood
<07858>
shall they be overflown
<07857> (8735)
from before
<06440>
him, and shall be broken
<07665> (8735)_;
yea, also the prince
<05057>
of the covenant
<01285>_.
And after the league
<02266> (8692)
[made] with him he shall work
<06213> (8799)
deceitfully
<04820>_:
for he shall come up
<05927> (8804)_,
and shall become strong
<06105> (8804)
with a small
<04592>
people
<01471>_.
He shall enter
<0935> (8799)
peaceably
<07962>
even upon the fattest places
<04924>
of the province
<04082>_;
and he shall do
<06213> (8804)
[that] which his fathers
<01>
have not done
<06213> (8804)_,
nor his fathers
<01>_'
fathers
<01>_;
he shall scatter
<0967> (8799)
among them the prey
<0961>_,
and spoil
<07998>_,
and riches
<07399>_:
[yea], and he shall forecast
<02803> (8762)
his devices
<04284>
against the strong holds
<04013>_,
even for a time
<06256>_.
{peaceably...: or, into the peaceable and fat, etc} {forecast...: Heb. think his thoughts}
And he shall stir up
<05782> (8686)
his power
<03581>
and his courage
<03824>
against the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>
with a great
<01419>
army
<02428>_;
and the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>
shall be stirred up
<01624> (8691)
to battle
<04421>
with a very
<03966>
great
<01419>
and mighty
<06099>
army
<02428>_;
but he shall not stand
<05975> (8799)_:
for they shall forecast
<02803> (8799)
devices
<04284>
against him.
Yea, they that feed
<0398> (8802)
of the portion of his meat
<06598>
shall destroy
<07665> (8799)
him, and his army
<02428>
shall overflow
<07857> (8799)_:
and many
<07227>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
down slain
<02491>_.
And both
<08147>
these kings
<04428>_'
hearts
<03824>
[shall be] to do mischief
<04827> (8688) <07451>_,
and they shall speak
<01696> (8762)
lies
<03577>
at one
<0259>
table
<07979>_;
but it shall not prosper
<06743> (8799)_:
for yet the end
<07093>
[shall be] at the time appointed
<04150>_.
{hearts: Heb. their hearts}
Then shall he return
<07725> (8804)
into his land
<0776>
with great
<01419>
riches
<07399>_;
and his heart
<03824>
[shall be] against the holy
<06944>
covenant
<01285>_;
and he shall do
<06213> (8804)
[exploits], and return
<07725> (8799)
to his own land
<0776>_.
At the time appointed
<04150>
he shall return
<07725> (8799)_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
toward the south
<05045>_;
but it shall not be as the former
<07223>_,
or as the latter
<0314>_.
For the ships
<06716>
of Chittim
<03794>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
against him: therefore he shall be grieved
<03512> (8738)_,
and return
<07725> (8804)_,
and have indignation
<02194> (8804)
against the holy
<06944>
covenant
<01285>_:
so shall he do
<06213> (8804)_;
he shall even return
<07725> (8804)_,
and have intelligence
<0995> (8799)
with them that forsake
<05800> (8802)
the holy
<06944>
covenant
<01285>_.
And arms
<02220>
shall stand
<05975> (8799)
on his part, and they shall pollute
<02490> (8765)
the sanctuary
<04720>
of strength
<04581>_,
and shall take away
<05493> (8689)
the daily
<08548>
[sacrifice], and they shall place
<05414> (8804)
the abomination
<08251>
that maketh desolate
<08074> (8789)_.
{maketh...: or, astonisheth}
And such as do wickedly
<07561> (8688)
against the covenant
<01285>
shall he corrupt
<02610> (8686)
by flatteries
<02514>_:
but the people
<05971>
that do know
<03045> (8802)
their God
<0430>
shall be strong
<02388> (8686)_,
and do
<06213> (8804)
[exploits]. {corrupt: or, cause to dissemble}
And they that understand
<07919> (8688)
among the people
<05971>
shall instruct
<0995> (8799)
many
<07227>_:
yet they shall fall
<03782> (8738)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and by flame
<03852>_,
by captivity
<07628>_,
and by spoil
<0961>_,
[many] days
<03117>_.
Now when they shall fall
<03782> (8736)_,
they shall be holpen
<05826> (8735)
with a little
<04592>
help
<05828>_:
but many
<07227>
shall cleave
<03867> (8738)
to them with flatteries
<02519>_.
And [some] of them of understanding
<07919> (8688)
shall fall
<03782> (8735)_,
to try
<06884> (8800)
them, and to purge
<01305> (8763)_,
and to make [them] white
<03835> (8687)_,
[even] to the time
<06256>
of the end
<07093>_:
because [it is] yet for a time appointed
<04150>_.
{try them: or, try by them}
And the king
<04428>
shall do
<06213> (8804)
according to his will
<07522>_;
and he shall exalt
<07311> (8709)
himself, and magnify
<01431> (8691)
himself above every god
<0410>_,
and shall speak
<01696> (8762)
marvellous things
<06381> (8737)
against the God
<0410>
of gods
<0410>_,
and shall prosper
<06743> (8689)
till the indignation
<02195>
be accomplished
<03615> (8804)_:
for that that is determined
<02782> (8737)
shall be done
<06213> (8738)_.
Neither shall he regard
<0995> (8799)
the God
<0430>
of his fathers
<01>_,
nor the desire
<02532>
of women
<0802>_,
nor regard
<0995> (8799)
any god
<0433>_:
for he shall magnify
<01431> (8691)
himself above all.
But in his estate
<03653>
shall he honour
<03513> (8762)
the God
<0433>
of forces
<04581>_:
and a god
<0433>
whom his fathers
<01>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not shall he honour
<03513> (8762)
with gold
<02091>_,
and silver
<03701>_,
and with precious
<03368>
stones
<068>_,
and pleasant things
<02532>_.
{in...: or, as for the Almighty God, in his seat he shall honour yea, he shall honour a god, whom, etc} {estate: or, stead} {forces: or, munitions: Heb. Mauzzim, or, God's protectors} {pleasant: Heb. things desired}
Thus shall he do
<06213> (8804)
in the most strong
<04581>
holds
<04013>
with a strange
<05236>
god
<0433>_,
whom he shall acknowledge
<05234> (8686) (8675) <05234> (8689)
[and] increase
<07235> (8686)
with glory
<03519>_:
and he shall cause them to rule
<04910> (8689)
over many
<07227>_,
and shall divide
<02505> (8762)
the land
<0127>
for gain
<04242>_.
{most...: Heb. fortresses of munitions} {gain: Heb. a price}
And at the time
<06256>
of the end
<07093>
shall the king
<04428>
of the south
<05045>
push
<05055> (8691)
at him: and the king
<04428>
of the north
<06828>
shall come against him like a whirlwind
<08175> (8691)_,
with chariots
<07393>_,
and with horsemen
<06571>_,
and with many
<07227>
ships
<0591>_;
and he shall enter
<0935> (8804)
into the countries
<0776>_,
and shall overflow
<07857> (8804)
and pass over
<05674> (8804)_.
He shall enter
<0935> (8804)
also into the glorious
<06643>
land
<0776>_,
and many
<07227>
[countries] shall be overthrown
<03782> (8735)_:
but these shall escape
<04422> (8735)
out of his hand
<03027>_,
[even] Edom
<0123>_,
and Moab
<04124>_,
and the chief
<07225>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_.
{glorious...: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. land of delight, or, ornament}
He shall stretch forth
<07971> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
also upon the countries
<0776>_:
and the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall not escape
<06413>_.
{stretch...: Heb. send forth}
But he shall have power
<04910> (8804)
over the treasures
<04362>
of gold
<02091>
and of silver
<03701>_,
and over all the precious
<02532>
things of Egypt
<04714>_:
and the Libyans
<03864>
and the Ethiopians
<03569>
[shall be] at his steps
<04703>_.
But tidings
<08052>
out of the east
<04217>
and out of the north
<06828>
shall trouble
<0926> (8762)
him: therefore he shall go forth
<03318> (8804)
with great
<01419>
fury
<02534>
to destroy
<08045> (8687)_,
and utterly to make away
<02763> (8687)
many
<07227>_.
And he shall plant
<05193> (8799)
the tabernacles
<0168>
of his palace
<0643>
between the seas
<03220>
in the glorious
<06643>
holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_;
yet he shall come
<0935> (8804)
to his end
<07093>_,
and none shall help
<05826> (8802)
him. {glorious...: or, goodly, etc.: Heb. mountain of delight of holiness}
And at that time
<06256>
shall Michael
<04317>
stand up
<05975> (8799)_,
the great
<01419>
prince
<08269>
which standeth
<05975> (8802)
for the children
<01121>
of thy people
<05971>_:
and there shall be
<01961> (8738)
a time
<06256>
of trouble
<06869>_,
such as never was since there was a nation
<01471>
[even] to that same time
<06256>_:
and at that time
<06256>
thy people
<05971>
shall be delivered
<04422> (8735)_,
every one that shall be found
<04672> (8737)
written
<03789> (8803)
in the book
<05612>_.
And many
<07227>
of them that sleep
<03463>
in the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0127>
shall awake
<06974> (8686)_,
some to everlasting
<05769>
life
<02416>_,
and some to shame
<02781>
[and] everlasting
<05769>
contempt
<01860>_.
And they that be wise
<07919> (8688)
shall shine
<02094> (8686)
as the brightness
<02096>
of the firmament
<07549>_;
and they that turn many
<07227>
to righteousness
<06663> (8688)
as the stars
<03556>
for ever
<05769>
and ever
<05703>_.
{wise: or, teachers}
But thou, O Daniel
<01840>_,
shut up
<05640> (8798)
the words
<01697>_,
and seal
<02856> (8798)
the book
<05612>_,
[even] to the time
<06256>
of the end
<07093>_:
many
<07227>
shall run to and fro
<07751> (8787)_,
and knowledge
<01847>
shall be increased
<07235> (8799)_.
Then I Daniel
<01840>
looked
<07200> (8804)_,
and, behold, there stood
<05975> (8802)
other
<0312>
two
<08147>_,
the one
<0259>
on this side
<02008>
of the bank
<08193>
of the river
<02975>_,
and the other
<0259>
on that side of the bank
<08193>
of the river
<02975>_.
{bank: Heb. lip} {bank: Heb. lip}
And [one] said
<0559> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
clothed
<03847> (8803)
in linen
<0906>_,
which [was] upon
<04605>
the waters
<04325>
of the river
<02975>_,
How long [shall it be to] the end
<07093>
of these wonders
<06382>_?
{upon...: or, from above}
And I heard
<08085> (8799)
the man
<0376>
clothed
<03847> (8803)
in linen
<0906>_,
which [was] upon
<04605>
the waters
<04325>
of the river
<02975>_,
when he held up
<07311> (8686)
his right hand
<03225>
and his left hand
<08040>
unto heaven
<08064>_,
and sware
<07650> (8735)
by him that liveth
<02416>
for ever
<05769>
that [it shall be] for a time
<04150>_,
times
<04150>_,
and an half
<02677>_;
and when he shall have accomplished
<03615> (8763)
to scatter
<05310> (8763)
the power
<03027>
of the holy
<06944>
people
<05971>_,
all these [things] shall be finished
<03615> (8799)_.
{a time...: or, part}
And I heard
<08085> (8804)_,
but I understood
<0995> (8799)
not: then said
<0559> (8799)
I, O my Lord
<0113>_,
what [shall be] the end
<0319>
of these [things]?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go thy way
<03212> (8798)_,
Daniel
<01840>_:
for the words
<01697>
[are] closed up
<05640> (8803)
and sealed
<02856> (8803)
till the time
<06256>
of the end
<07093>_.
Many
<07227>
shall be purified
<01305> (8691)_,
and made white
<03835> (8691)_,
and tried
<06884> (8735)_;
but the wicked
<07563>
shall do wickedly
<07561> (8689)_:
and none of the wicked
<07563>
shall understand
<0995> (8799)_;
but the wise
<07919> (8688)
shall understand
<0995> (8799)_.
And from the time
<06256>
[that] the daily
<08548>
[sacrifice] shall be taken away
<05493> (8717)_,
and the abomination
<08251>
that maketh desolate
<08074> (8802)
set up
<05414> (8800)_,
[there shall be] a thousand
<0505>
two hundred
<03967>
and ninety
<08673>
days
<03117>_.
{the abomination: Heb. to set up the abomination} {maketh...: or, astonisheth}
Blessed
<0835>
[is] he that waiteth
<02442> (8764)_,
and cometh
<05060> (8686)
to the thousand
<0505>
three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
and five
<02568>
and thirty
<07970>
days
<03117>_.
But go thou thy way
<03212> (8798)
till the end
<07093>
[be]: for thou shalt rest
<05117> (8799)_,
and stand
<05975> (8799)
in thy lot
<01486>
at the end
<07093>
of the days
<03117>_.
{for thou: or, and thou, etc}
