1In 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}
2Daniel <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>_.
3And four <0703> great <07260> beasts <02423> came up <05559> (8751) from <04481> the sea <03221>_, diverse <08133> (8750) one <01668> from <04481> another <01668>_.
4The 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}
5And 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}
6After <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.
7After <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>_.
8I 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>_.
9I 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>_.
10A 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)_.
11I 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>_.
12As 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}
13I 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.
14And 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)_.
15I <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}
16I 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>_.
17These <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>_.
18But 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}
19Then <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}
20And 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>_.
21I 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;
22Until <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>_.
23Thus <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)_.
24And 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>_.
25And 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>_.
26But 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>_.
27And 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}
28Hitherto <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>_.
