Daniel 2:38

2:38 Wherever human beings, ¹  wild animals, ²  and birds of the sky live – he has given them into your power. ³  He has given you authority over them all. You are the head of gold.

Daniel 7:6

7:6 “After these things, ⁴  as I was watching, another beast ⁵  like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. ⁶  This beast had four heads, ⁷  and ruling authority was given to it.

[2:38]  ¹ tn Aram “the sons of man.”

[2:38]  ² tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

[2:38]  ³ tn Aram “hand.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Aram “this.” So also in v. 7.

[7:6]  ⁵ tn Aram “and behold, another one.”

[7:6]  ⁶ tn Or “sides.”

[7:6]  ⁷ sn If the third animal is Greece, the most likely identification of these four heads is the four-fold division of the empire of Alexander the Great following his death. See note on Dan 8:8.
