Daniel 7:19-20

Context

7:19 “Then I wanted to know the meaning¹ of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others. It was very dreadful, with two rows of iron teeth and bronze claws, and it devoured, crushed, and trampled anything that was left with its feet. 7:20 I also wanted to know² the meaning of the ten horns on its head, and of that other horn which came up and before which three others fell. This was the horn that had eyes³ and a mouth speaking arrogant things, whose appearance was more formidable than the others.⁴

[7:19] ¹tn Aram “to make certain.”

[7:20] ²tn The words “I also wanted to know” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[7:20] ³tc The conjunction in the MT before “eyes” is odd. The ancient versions do not seem to presuppose it.

[7:20] ⁴tn Aram “greater than its companions.”
