NETBible

Let his mind 1  be altered from that of a human being, and let an animal’s mind be given to him, and let seven periods of time 2  go by for 3  him.

NET Notes

1 tn Aram “its heart.” The metaphor of the tree begins to fade here and the reality behind the symbol (the king) begins to emerge.

2 sn The seven periods of time probably refer to seven years.

3 tn Aram “over” (also in vv. 23, 25, 32).
