: 1 . In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of the

reign <4438 malkuwth > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king

<4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > came <0935 bow> >

Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of

Babylon <0894 Babel > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > , and

besieged <6696 tsuwr > it .

: 2 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > gave <5414 nathan > Jehoiakim

<3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >

into his hand <3027 yad > , with part <7117 q@tsath > of the

vessels <3627 k@liy > of the house <1004 bayith > of God <0430

>elohiym > : which he carried <0935 bow> > into the land <0776

>erets > of Shinar <8152 Shin<ar > to the house <1004 bayith >

of his god <0430 >elohiym > ; and he brought <0935 bow> > the

vessels <3627 k@liy > into the treasure <0214 >owtsar > house

<1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym > .

: 3 And the king <4428 melek > spake <0559 >amar > unto

Ashpenaz <0828 >Ashp@naz > the master <7227 rab > of his eunuchs

<5631 cariyc > , that he should bring <0935 bow> > [ certain ]

of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and

of the king s <4410 m@luwkah > seed <2233 zera< > , and of the

princes <6579 partam > ;

: 4 Children <3206 yeled > in whom [ was ] no <0369 >ayin >

blemish <3971 m>uwm > , but well <2896 towb > favoured <4758

mar>eh > , and skilful <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > wisdom

<2451 chokmah > , and cunning <3045 yada< > in knowledge <1847

da<ath > , and understanding <0995 biyn > science <4093 madda<

> , and such as [ had ] ability <3581 koach > in them to

stand <5975 <amad > in the king s <4428 melek > palace <1964

heykal > , and whom they might teach <3925 lamad > the learning

<5612 cepher > and the tongue <3956 lashown > of the Chaldeans

<3779 Kasday > .

: 5 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <4487 manah > them a

daily <3117 yowm > provision <1697 dabar > of the king s <4428

melek > meat <6598 pathbag > , and of the wine <3196 yayin >

which he drank <4960 mishteh > : so nourishing <1431 gadal >

them three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > , that at the

end <7117 q@tsath > thereof they might stand <5975 <amad >

before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

: 6 Now among these <1992 hem > were of the children <1121 ben

> of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,

Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and

Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > :

: 7 Unto whom <1992 hem > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs

<5631 cariyc > gave <7760 suwm > names <8034 shem > : for he

gave <7760 suwm > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > [ the name <8034

shem > ] of Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar > ; and to

Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > , of Shadrach <7714 Shadrak > ; and

to Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , of Meshach <4335 Meyshak > ;

and to Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > , of Abednego <5664 <Abed N@gow

> .

: 8 . But Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > purposed <7760 suwm > in his

heart <3820 leb > that he would not defile <1351 ga>al > himself

with the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek >

meat <6598 pathbag > , nor with the wine <3196 yayin > which he

drank <4960 mishteh > : therefore he requested <1245 baqash > of

the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > that he

might not defile <1351 ga>al > himself .

: 9 Now God <0430 >elohiym > had brought <5414 nathan > Daniel

<1840 Daniye>l > into favour <2617 checed > and tender love with

the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > .

: 10 And the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc >

said <0559 >amar > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , I fear <3373

yare> > my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > , who

<0834 >aher > hath appointed <4487 manah > your meat <3978

ma>akal > and your drink <4960 mishteh > : for why <4100 mah >

should he see <7200 ra>ah > your faces <6440 paniym > worse

<2196 za<aph > liking than <4480 min > the children <3206 yeled

> which <0834 >aher > [ are ] of your sort <1524 giyl > ?

then shall ye make [ me ] endanger <2325 chuwb > my head <7218

ro>sh > to the king <4428 melek > .

: 11 Then said <0559 >amar > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > to Melzar

<4453 meltsar > , whom <0834 >aher > the prince <8269 sar > of

the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > had set <4487 manah > over <5921 <al

> Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,

Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > ,

: 12 Prove <5254 nacah > thy servants <5650 <ebed > , I

beseech <4994 na> > thee , ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > ;

and let them give <5414 nathan > us pulse <2235 zeroa< > to

eat <0398 >akal > , and water <4325 mayim > to drink <8354

shathah > .

: 13 Then let our countenances <4758 mar>eh > be looked <7200

ra>ah > upon before <6440 paniym > thee , and the countenance

<4758 mar>eh > of the children <3206 yeled > that eat <0398

>akal > of the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek

> meat <6598 pathbag > : and as thou seest <7200 ra>ah > , deal

<6213 <asah > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > .

: 14 So he consented <8085 shama< > to them in this <2088 zeh >

matter <1697 dabar > , and proved <5254 nacah > them ten <6235

<eser > days <3117 yowm > .

: 15 And at the end <7117 q@tsath > of ten <6235 <eser > days

<3117 yowm > their countenances <4758 mar>eh > appeared <7200

ra>ah > fairer <2896 towb > and fatter <1277 bariy> > in flesh

<1320 basar > than <4480 min > all <3605 kol > the children

<3206 yeled > which did eat <0398 >akal > the portion <6598

pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > .

: 16 Thus Melzar <4453 meltsar > took <5375 nasa> > away the

portion <6598 pathbag > of their meat <6598 pathbag > , and the

wine <3196 yayin > that they should drink <4960 mishteh > ; and

gave <5414 nathan > them pulse <2235 zeroa< > .

: 17 . As for these <0428 >el - leh > four <0702 >arba< >

children <3206 yeled > , God <0430 >elohiym > gave <5414 nathan

> them knowledge <4093 madda< > and skill <7919 sakal > in all

<3605 kol > learning <5612 cepher > and wisdom <2451 chokmah > :

and Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > had understanding <0995 biyn > in

all <3605 kol > visions <2377 chazown > and dreams <2472 chalowm

> .

: 18 Now at the end <7117 q@tsath > of the days <3117 yowm >

that the king <4428 melek > had said <0559 >amar > he should

bring <0935 bow> > them in , then the prince <8269 sar > of the

eunuchs <5631 cariyc > brought <0935 bow> > them in before <6440

paniym > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > .

: 19 And the king <4428 melek > communed <1696 dabar > with

them ; and among them all <3605 kol > was found <4672 matsa> >

none <3808 lo> > like Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , Hananiah <2608

Chananyah > , Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5838

<Azaryah > : therefore stood <5975 <amad > they before <6440

paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

: 20 And in all <3605 kol > matters <1697 dabar > of wisdom

<2451 chokmah > [ and ] understanding <0998 biynah > , that

the king <4428 melek > enquired <1245 baqash > of them , he

found <4672 matsa> > them ten <6235 <eser > times better <3027

yad > than <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the magicians <2748

chartom > [ and ] astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > that [ were ]

in all <3605 kol > his realm <4438 malkuwth > .

: 21 And Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > continued <1961 hayah > [

even ] unto the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of

king <4428 melek > Cyrus <3566 Kowresh > .

: Daniel 2

: 1 . And in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh >

of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Nebuchadnezzar <5019

N@buwkadne>tstsar > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar >

dreamed <2492 chalam > dreams <2472 chalowm > , wherewith his

spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > , and his

sleep <8142 shehah > brake <1961 hayah > from him .

: 2 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <0559 >amar > to call

<7121 qara> > the magicians <2748 chartom > , and the

astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > , and the sorcerers <3784 kashaph

> the king <4428 melek > his dreams <2472 chalowm > . So they

came <0935 bow> > and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym >

the king <4428 melek > .

: 3 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,

I have dreamed <2492 chalam > a dream <2472 chalowm > , and my

spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > to know <3045

yada< > the dream <2472 chalowm > .

: 4 Then spake <1696 dabar > the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > to

the king <4428 melek > in Syriack <0762 >Aramiyth > , O king

<4430 melek > , live <2418 chaya> > for ever <5957 <alam > :

tell <0560 >amar > thy servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493

chelem > , and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation

<6591 p@shar > .

: 5 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said

<0560 >amar > to the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > , The thing <4406

millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me : if <2006 hen > ye will

not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > ,

with the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof , ye shall be

cut <5648 <abad > in pieces <1917 haddam > , and your houses

<1005 bayith > shall be made <7761 suwm > a dunghill <5122

n@valuw > .

: 6 But if <2006 hen > ye shew <2324 chava> > the dream <2493

chelem > , and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof , ye

shall receive <6902 q@bal > of me gifts <4978 matt@na> > and

rewards <5023 n@bizbah > and great <7690 saggiy> > honour <3367

y@qar > : therefore <2006 hen > shew <2324 chava> > me the dream

<2493 chelem > , and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

: 7 They answered <6032 <anah > again <8579 tinyanuwth > and

said <0560 >amar > , Let the king <4430 melek > tell <0560

>amar > his servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem > ,

and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar

: 8 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said

<0560 >amar > , I know <3046 y@da< > of certainty <3330

yatstsiyb > that ye would gain <2084 z@ban > the time <5732

: 9 But if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< >

unto me the dream <2493 chelem > , [ there is but ] one <2298

chad > decree <1882 dath > for you : for ye have prepared <2164

z@man > lying <3538 k@dab > and corrupt <7844 sh@chath > words

<4406 millah > to speak <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > me ,

till <5704 <ad > the time <5732 <iddan > be changed <8133 sh@na>

chelem > , and I shall know <3046 y@da< > that ye can shew

<2324 chava> > me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

: 10 The Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > answered <6032 <anah > before

<6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > , and said <0560 >amar > ,

There is not a man <0606 >enash > upon the earth <3007

yabbesheth > that can <3202 y@kel > shew <2324 chava> > the king

s <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah > : therefore [ there is ]

no king <4430 melek > , lord <7229 rab > , nor ruler <7990

shalliyt > , [ that ] asked <7593 sh@>el > such <1836 den >

things at any <3606 kol > magician <2749 chartom > , or

astrologer <0826 >ashshaph > , or Chaldean <3777 Kesed > .

: 11 And [ it is ] a rare <3358 yaqqiyr > thing <4406 millah

there is none <3809 la> > other <0321 >ochoran > that can shew

<2324 chava> > it before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,

except <3861 lawhen > the gods <0426 >elahh > , whose <1768 diy

> dwelling <4070 m@dowr > is not with flesh <1321 b@sar > .

: 12 For this <1836 den > cause the king <4430 melek > was

angry <1149 b@nac > and very <7690 saggiy> > furious <7108

q@tsaph > , and commanded <0560 >amar > to destroy <7> all

<3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895

Babel > .

: 13 And the decree <1882 dath > went <5312 n@phaq > forth

<5312 n@phaq > that the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] should

be slain <6992 q@tal > ; and they sought <1158 ba<ah > Daniel

<1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > to be slain

<6992 q@tal > .

: 14 . Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered

<8421 tuwb > with counsel <5843 <eta> > and wisdom <2942 t@

to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the captain <7229 rab > of the king s

<4430 melek > guard <2877 tabbach > , which <1768 diy > was

gone <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > to slay <6992 q@tal >

the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > :

: 15 He answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Arioch

<0746 >Aryowk > the king s <4430 melek > captain <7990 shalliyt

> , Why [ is ] the decree <1882 dath > [ so ] hasty <2685

chatsaph > from the king <4430 melek > ? Then <0116 >edayin >

Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046

y@da< > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > .

: 16 Then Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in , and

desired <1156 b@<a> > of the king <4430 melek > that he would

give <5415 n@than > him time <2166 z@man > , and that he would

shew <2324 chava> > the king <4430 melek > the interpretation

<6591 p@shar > .

: 17 Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <0236

>azal > to his house <1005 bayith > , and made the thing <4406

millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,

Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > , and Azariah <5839 <Azaryah > , his

companions <2269 chabar > :

: 18 That they would desire <1156 b@<a> > mercies <7359 r@chem

concerning <5922 <al > this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > ;

that Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar >

should not perish <7> with the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the wise

<2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

: 19 Then <0116 >edayin > was the secret <7328 raz > revealed

<1541 g@lah > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > in a night <3916

leyl@ya> > vision <2376 chezev > . Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel

<1841 Daniye>l > blessed <1289 b@rak > the God <0426 >elahh > of

heaven <8065 shamayin > .

: 20 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > and said

<0560 >amar > , Blessed <1289 b@rak > be the name <8036 shum >

of God <0426 >elahh > for ever <5957 <alam > and ever <5957

<alam > : for wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah >

are his :

: 21 And he changeth <8133 sh@na> > the times <5732 <iddan >

and the seasons <2166 z@man > : he removeth <5709 <ada> > kings

<4430 melek > , and setteth <6966 quwm > up kings <4430 melek >

: he giveth <3052 y@hab > wisdom <2452 chokmah > unto the wise

<2445 chakkiym > , and knowledge <0998 biynah > to them that

know <3046 y@da< > understanding <0999 biynah > :

: 22 He revealeth <1541 g@lah > the deep <5994 <amiyq > and

secret <5642 c@thar > things : he knoweth <3046 y@da< > what

<4101 mah > [ is ] in the darkness <2816 chashowk > , and the

light <5094 n@hiyr > dwelleth <8271 sh@re> > with him .

: 23 I thank <3029 y@da> > thee , and praise <7624 sh@bach >

thee , O thou God <0426 >elahh > of my fathers <2> , who <1768

diy > hast given <3052 y@hab > me wisdom <2452 chokmah > and

might <1370 g@buwrah > , and hast made known <3046 y@da< > unto

me now <3705 k@<an > what <1768 diy > we desired <1156 b@<a> >

of thee : for thou hast [ now <3705 k@<an > ] made known <3046

y@da< > unto us the king s <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah > .

: 24 . Therefore Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in

unto Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > , whom <1768 diy > the king <4430

melek > had ordained <4483 m@na> > to destroy <7> the wise <2445

chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon <0895 Babel > : he went <0236

>azal > and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him ;

Destroy <7> not the wise <2445 chakkiym > [ men ] of Babylon

<0895 Babel > : bring <5924 <ella> > me in before <6925 qodam >

the king <4430 melek > , and I will shew <2324 chava> > unto

the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

: 25 Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > brought <5954

<alal > in Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > before <6925 qodam > the king

<4430 melek > in haste <0927 b@hal > , and said <0560 >amar >

thus <3652 ken > unto him , I have found <4672 matsa> > a man

<1400 g@bar > of the captives of Judah <3061 Y@huwd > , that

will make known <3046 y@da< > unto the king <4430 melek > the

interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

: 26 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said

<0560 >amar > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > , whose <1768 diy >

name <8036 shum > [ was ] Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar >

, Art <0383 >iythay > thou able <3546 k@hal > to make known

<3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > which <1768 diy >

I have seen <2370 chaza> > , and the interpretation <6591

p@shar > thereof ?

: 27 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > in the

presence <6925 qodam > of the king <4430 melek > , and said

<0560 >amar > , The secret <7328 raz > which <1768 diy > the

king <4430 melek > hath demanded <7593 sh@>el > cannot the wise

the magicians <2749 chartom > , the soothsayers <1505 g@zar >

: 28 But there is a God <0426 >elahh > in heaven <8065 shamayin

known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar

thy bed <4903 mishkab > , are these <1836 den > ;

<7271 r@gal > part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > and part

smote <4223 m@cha> > the image <6755 tselem > became <1934 hava>

melek > of kings <4430 melek > : for the God <0426 >elahh > of

heaven <8065 shamayin > hath given <3052 y@hab > thee a kingdom

t@qoph > , and glory <3367 y@qar > .

: 38 And wheresoever the children <1123 ben > of men <0606

field <1251 bar > and the fowls <5776 <owph > of the heaven

all <3606 kol > . Thou [ art ] this <1931 huw> > head <7217

: 39 And after <0870 >athar > thee shall arise <6965 quwm >

another <0317 >ochoriy > kingdom <4437 malkuw > inferior <0772

t@liythay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > of brass <5174 n@chash > ,

which <1768 diy > shall bear <7981 sh@let > rule <7981 sh@let >

over all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > .

: 40 And the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > kingdom <4437 malkuw >

shall be strong <8624 taqqiyph > as iron <6523 parzel > :

forasmuch as iron <6523 parzel > breaketh <1855 d@qaq > in

pieces and subdueth <2827 chashal > all <3606 kol > [ things ]

: and as iron <6523 parzel > that breaketh <7940 Sakar > all

<3606 kol > these <0459 >illeyn > , shall it break <1854 daqaq

: 41 And whereas <1768 diy > thou sawest <2370 chaza> > the

feet <7271 r@gal > and toes <0677 >etsba< > , part <4481 min >

of potters <6353 pechar > clay <2635 chacaph > , and part

<4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > , the kingdom <4437 malkuw >

shall be divided <6386 p@lag > ; but there shall be in it of

the strength <5326 nitsbah > of the iron <6523 parzel > ,

forasmuch as thou sawest <2370 chaza> > the iron <6523 parzel >

mixed <6151 <arab > with miry <2917 tiyn > clay <2635 chacaph > .

: 42 And [ as ] the toes <0677 >etsba< > of the feet <7271

r@gal > [ were ] part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > ,

and part <4481 min > of clay <2635 chacaph > , [ so ] the

kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be partly <7118 q@tsath > strong

<8624 taqqiyph > , and partly <7118 q@tsath > broken <8406

t@bar > .

: 43 And whereas <1768 diy > thou sawest <2370 chaza> > iron

<6523 parzel > mixed <6151 <arab > with miry <2917 tiyn > clay

<2635 chacaph > , they shall mingle <6151 <arab > themselves

with the seed <2234 z@ra< > of men <0606 >enash > : but they

shall not cleave <1693 d@baq > one <1836 den > to another <1836

<6151 <arab > with clay <2635 chacaph > .

: 44 And in the days <3118 yowm > of these <0581 >innuwn >

kings <4430 melek > shall the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065

shamayin > set <6966 quwm > up a kingdom <4437 malkuw > , which

<1768 diy > shall never be destroyed <2255 chabal > : and the

kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall not be left <7662 sh@baq > to other

<0321 >ochoran > people <5972 <am > , [ but ] it shall break

<1854 daqaq > in pieces and consume <5487 cuwph > all <3606 kol

stand <6966 quwm > for ever <5957 <alam > .

: 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest <2370 chaza> > that the stone

<69> was cut <1505 g@zar > out of the mountain <2906 tuwr >

without hands <3028 yad > , and that it brake <1855 d@qaq > in

pieces the iron <6523 parzel > , the brass <5174 n@chash > ,

the clay <2635 chacaph > , the silver <3702 k@caph > , and the

gold <1722 d@hab > ; the great <7229 rab > God <0426 >elahh >

hath made known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > what

<4101 mah > shall come <1934 hava> > to pass hereafter : and the

dream <2493 chelem > [ is ] certain <3330 yatstsiyb > , and

the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof sure <0546 >omnah > .

: 46 . Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek >

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > fell <5308 n@phal > upon

his face <0600 >anaph > , and worshipped <5457 c@gid > Daniel

<1841 Daniye>l > , and commanded <0560 >amar > that they should

offer <5260 n@cak > an oblation <8641 t@ruwmah > and sweet <5208

niychowach > odours <5208 niychowach > unto him .

: 47 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > unto Daniel

<1841 Daniye>l > , and said <0560 >amar > , Of a truth <7187

q@showt > [ it is ] , that your God <0426 >elahh > [ is ] a

: 48 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > made <7236

r@bah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > a great <7236 r@bah > man , and

gave <3052 y@hab > him many <7690 saggiy> > great <7260 rabrab >

of the province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > : but

Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > [ sat ] in the gate <8651 t@ra< > of

the king <4430 melek > .

: 1 . Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430

melek > made <5648 <abad > an image <6755 tselem > of gold <1722

: 16 Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > , Meshach <4336 Meyshak > , and

: 4 . I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > was at rest

<7954 sh@lah > in mine house <1005 bayith > , and flourishing

<7487 ra<anan > in my palace <1965 heykal > :

that they might make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the

interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the dream <2493 chelem > .

: 7 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in the magicians

<2749 chartom > , the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > , the

Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > , and the soothsayers <1505 g@zar > :

and in whom <1768 diy > [ is ] the spirit <7308 ruwach > of

the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > : and before <6925

I know <3046 y@da< > that the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy

the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > had shadow

Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > thy father <2> , the

<3966 m@<od > him over <5922 <al > the whole <3606 kol > realm

The thing <4406 millah > [ is ] true <3330 yatstsiyb > ,

according to the law <1882 dath > of the Medes <4076 Maday > and

Persians <6540 Parac > , which <1768 diy > altereth <5709 <ada>

: 13 Then <0116 >edayin > answered <6032 <anah > they and said

<0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,

That Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > , which <1768 diy > [ is ] of

the children <1123 ben > of the captivity <1547 galuwth > of

Judah <3061 Y@huwd > , regardeth not thee , O king <4430 melek

was sore <7690 saggiy> > displeased <0888 b@>esh > with himself

laboured <7712 sh@dar > till <5704 <ad > the going <4606 me<al >

down <4606 me<al > of the sun <8122 shemesh > to deliver <5338

n@tsal > him .

: 15 Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar

said <0560 >amar > unto the king <4430 melek > , Know <3046

y@da< > , O king <4430 melek > , that the law <1882 dath > of

the Medes <4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac > [ is ] ,

That no decree <0633 >ecar > nor statute <7010 q@yam > which

<1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > establisheth <6966 quwm > may

be changed <8133 sh@na> > .

: 16 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > commanded

<0560 >amar > , and they brought <0858 >athah > Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > , and cast <7412 r@mah > [ him ] into the den

<1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > . [ Now <0116 >edayin > ]

the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar

<1768 diy > thou servest <6399 p@lach > continually <8411

: 17 And a stone <69> was brought <0858 >athah > , and laid

<7760 suwm > upon the mouth <6433 pum > of the den <1358 gob > ;

and the king <4430 melek > sealed <2857 chatham > it with his

own signet <5824 <izqa> > , and with the signet <5824 <izqa> >

of his lords <7261 rabr@ban > ; that the purpose <6640 ts@buw >

might not be changed <8133 sh@na> > concerning Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > .

: 18 . Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > went <0236

>azal > to his palace <1965 heykal > , and passed the night

<0956 buwth > fasting <2908 t@vath > : neither <3809 la> > were

instruments <1761 dachavah > of musick brought <5954 <alal >

before <6925 qodam > him : and his sleep <8139 sh@nah > went

<5075 n@dad > from him .

: 19 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > arose <6966

quwm > very early <8238 sh@pharphar > in the morning <5053

nogahh > , and went <0236 >azal > in haste <0927 b@hal > unto

the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > .

: 20 And when he came <7127 q@reb > to the den <1358 gob > ,

he cried <2200 z@<iq > with a lamentable <6088 <atsab > voice

<7032 qal > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > : [ and ] the king

<4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to

Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > , O Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > , servant

<5649 <abad > of the living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh > ,

is thy God <0426 >elahh > , whom <1768 diy > thou servest <6399

p@lach > continually <8411 t@diyra> > , able <3202 y@kel > to

deliver <7804 sh@zab > thee from the lions <0744 >aryeh > ?

: 21 Then <0116 >edayin > said <4449 m@lal > Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > unto the king <4430 melek > , O king <4430 melek > ,

live <2414 chataph > for ever <5957 <alam > .

: 22 My God <0426 >elahh > hath sent <7972 sh@lach > his angel

<4398 mal>ak > , and hath shut <5463 c@gar > the lions <0744

chabal > me : forasmuch as before <6925 qodam > him innocency

<2136 zakuw > was found <7912 sh@kach > in me ; and also <0638

I done <5648 <abad > no <3809 la> > hurt <2248 chabuwlah > .

: 23 Then <0116 >edayin > was the king <4430 melek > exceeding

<7689 saggiy> > glad <2868 t@>eb > for him , and commanded

<0560 >amar > that they should take <5267 n@caq > Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > up out of the den <1358 gob > . So Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > was taken <5267 n@caq > up out of the den <1358 gob >

, and no manner of hurt <2257 chabal > was found <7912 sh@kach

his God <0426 >elahh > .

: 24 And the king <4430 melek > commanded <0560 >amar > , and

they brought <0858 >athah > those <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar

Daniye>l > , and they cast <7412 r@mah > [ them ] into the

den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > , them , their

children <1123 ben > , and their wives <5389 nashiyn > ; and

the lions <0744 >aryeh > had the mastery <6981 Qowre> > of them ,

and brake <1855 d@qaq > all <3606 kol > their bones <1635

gerem > in pieces or ever <3809 la> > they came <4291 m@ta> > at

the bottom <0773 >ar<iyth > of the den <1358 gob > .

: 25 . Then <0116 >edayin > king <4430 melek > Darius <1868

Dar@yavesh > wrote <3790 k@thab > unto all <3606 kol > people

<5972 <am > , nations <0524 >ummah > , and languages <3961

earth <0772 >ara< > ; Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680

: 26 I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@ , That in

every <3606 kol > dominion <7985 sholtan > of my kingdom <4437

malkuw > men tremble <2112 zuwa< > and fear <1763 d@chal >

before the God <0426 >elahh > of Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > : for

he [ is ] the living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh > , and

stedfast <7011 qayam > for ever <5957 <alam > , and his kingdom

<4437 malkuw > [ that ] which <1768 diy > shall not be

destroyed <2255 chabal > , and his dominion <7985 sholtan > [

shall be even ] unto the end <5491 cowph > .

: 27 He delivereth <7804 sh@zab > and rescueth <5338 n@tsal > ,

and he worketh <5648 <abad > signs <0852 >ath > and wonders

<8540 t@mahh > in heaven <8065 shamayin > and in earth <0772

<1841 Daniye>l > from the power <3028 yad > of the lions <0744

: 28 So this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > prospered

<6744 ts@lach > in the reign <4437 malkuw > of Darius <1868

Dar@yavesh > , and in the reign <4437 malkuw > of Cyrus <3567

Kowresh > the Persian <6523 parzel > .

: Daniel 7

: 1 . In the first <2298 chad > year <8140 sh@nah > of

Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > king <4430 melek > of Babylon

<0895 Babel > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > had <2370 chaza> > a dream

<2493 chelem > and visions <2376 chezev > of his head <7217

wrote <3790 k@thab > the dream <2493 chelem > , [ and ] told

<0560 >amar > the sum <7217 re>sh > of the matters <4406 millah

: 2 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560

night <3916 leyl@ya> > , and , behold <0718 >aruw > , the

four <0703 >arba< > winds <7308 ruwach > of the heaven <8065

shamayin > strove <1519 giyach > upon the great <7227 rab > sea

<3221 yam > .

: 3 And four <0703 >arba< > great <7260 rabrab > beasts <2423

cheyva> > came <5559 c@liq > up from the sea <3221 yam > ,

diverse <8133 sh@na> > one <1668 da> > from another <1668 da> > .

: 4 The first <6933 qadmay > [ was ] like a lion <0738 >ariy

beheld till <5704 <ad > the wings <1611 gaph > thereof were

plucked <4804 m@rat > , and it was lifted <5191 n@tal > up from

the earth <0772 >ara< > , and made stand <6966 quwm > upon the

feet <7271 r@gal > as a man <0606 >enash > , and a man s <0606

>enash > heart <3825 l@bab > was given <3052 y@hab > to it .

: 5 And behold <0718 >aruw > another <0317 >ochoriy > beast

<2423 cheyva> > , a second <8578 tinyan > , like <1821 d@mah >

to a bear <1678 dob > , and it raised <6966 quwm > up itself on

one <2298 chad > side <7859 sh@tar > , and [ it had ] three

<8532 t@lath > ribs <6763 tsela< > in the mouth <6433 pum > of

it between <0997 beyn > the teeth <8128 shen > of it : and they

said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto it , Arise <6965 quwm

: 6 After <0870 >athar > this <1836 den > I beheld , and lo

<0718 >aruw > another <0317 >ochoriy > , like a leopard <5245

n@mar > , which <1768 diy > had upon the back <1355 gab > of it

four <0703 >arba< > wings <1611 gaph > of a fowl <5776 <owph > ;

the beast <2423 cheyva> > had also four <0703 >arba< > heads

<7217 re>sh > ; and dominion <7985 sholtan > was given <3052

y@hab > to it .

: 7 After <0870 >athar > this <1836 den > I saw <2370 chaza> >

in the night <3916 leyl@ya> > visions <2376 chezev > , and

behold <0718 >aruw > a fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > beast <2423

cheyva> > , dreadful <1763 d@chal > and terrible <0574 >emtaniy

and it had great <7260 rabrab > iron <6523 parzel > teeth <8128

shen > : it devoured <0399 >akal > and brake <1855 d@qaq > in

pieces , and stamped <7512 r@phac > the residue <7606 sh@>ar >

with the feet <7271 r@gal > of it : and it [ was ] diverse

<8133 sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > the beasts <2423 cheyva> >

that [ were ] before <6925 qodam > it ; and it had ten <6236

<asar > horns <7162 qeren > .

: 8 I considered <7920 s@kal > the horns <7162 qeren > , and ,

behold <0431 >aluw > , there came <5559 c@liq > up among <0997

beyn > them another <0317 >ochoriy > little <2192 z@<eyr > horn

<7162 qeren > , before <6925 qodam > whom there were three

<8532 t@lath > of the first <6933 qadmay > horns <7162 qeren >

plucked <6132 <aqar > up by the roots <6132 <aqar > : and ,

behold <0431 >aluw > , in this <1668 da> > horn <7162 qeren >

[ were ] eyes <5870 <ayin > like the eyes <5870 <ayin > of man

<0606 >enash > , and a mouth <6433 pum > speaking <4449 m@lal >

great <7260 rabrab > things .

: 9 . I beheld till <5704 <ad > the thrones <3764 korce> >

were cast <7412 r@mah > down , and the Ancient <6268 <attiyq >

of days <3118 yowm > did sit <3488 y@thiyb > , whose garment

<3831 l@buwsh > [ was ] white as snow <8517 t@lag > , and the

hair <8177 s@<ar > of his head <7217 re>sh > like the pure <5343

n@qe> > wool <6015 <amar > : his throne <3764 korce> > [ was

like ] the fiery <5135 nuwr > flame <7631 s@biyb > , [ and ]

his wheels <1535 galgal > [ as ] burning <1815 d@laq > fire

<5135 nuwr > .

: 10 A fiery <5135 nuwr > stream <5103 n@har > issued <5047

n@gad > and came <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > from before

<6925 qodam > him : thousand <0506 >alaph > thousands <0506

>alaph > ministered <8120 sh@mash > unto him , and ten <7240

ribbow > thousand <7240 ribbow > times ten <7240 ribbow >

thousand <7240 ribbow > stood <6966 quwm > before <6925 qodam >

him : the judgment <1780 diyn > was set <3488 y@thiyb > , and

the books <5609 c@phar > were opened <6606 p@thach > .

: 11 I beheld then <0116 >edayin > because <4481 min > of the

voice <7032 qal > of the great <7260 rabrab > words <4406 millah

> which <1768 diy > the horn <7162 qeren > spake <4449 m@lal > :

I beheld [ even <5705 <ad > ] till <5704 <ad > the beast <2423

cheyva> > was slain <6992 q@tal > , and his body <1655 geshem >

destroyed <7> , and given <3052 y@hab > to the burning <3346

y@qeda> > flame <0785 >esh > .

: 12 As concerning the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the beasts <2423

cheyva> > , they had their dominion <7985 sholtan > taken <5709

<ada> > away <5709 <ada> > : yet their lives <2417 chay > were

prolonged for a season <2166 z@man > and time <5732 <iddan > .

: 13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the night <6916 qiddah > visions

<2376 chezev > , and , behold <0718 >aruw > , [ one ] like

the Son <1247 bar > of man <0606 >enash > came with the clouds

<6050 <anan > of heaven <8065 shamayin > , and came <4291 m@ta>

they brought <7127 q@reb > him near <7127 q@reb > before <6925

qodam > him .

: 14 And there was given <3052 y@hab > him dominion <7985

sholtan > , and glory <3367 y@qar > , and a kingdom <4437

malkuw > , that all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > , nations

<0524 >ummah > , and languages <3961 lishshan > , should serve

<6399 p@lach > him : his dominion <7985 sholtan > [ is ] an

everlasting <5957 <alam > dominion <7985 sholtan > , which

<1768 diy > shall not pass <5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> > ,

and his kingdom <4437 malkuw > [ that ] which <1768 diy >

shall not be destroyed <2255 chabal > .

: 15 . I Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > was grieved <3735 Kara> > in

my spirit <7308 ruwach > in the midst <1459 gav > of [ my ]

body <5085 nidneh > , and the visions <2376 chezev > of my head

<7217 re>sh > troubled <0927 b@hal > me .

: 16 I came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > unto one <2298

chad > of them that stood <6966 quwm > by , and asked <1156

b@<a> > him the truth <3330 yatstsiyb > of all <3606 kol > this

<1836 den > . So he told <0560 >amar > me , and made me know

<3046 y@da< > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the things

<4406 millah > .

: 17 These <0459 >illeyn > great <7260 rabrab > beasts <2423

cheyva> > , which <1768 diy > are four <0703 >arba< > , [ are

] four <0703 >arba< > kings <4430 melek > , [ which ] shall

arise <6965 quwm > out of the earth <0772 >ara< > .

: 18 But the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946 <elyown

<4437 malkuw > , and possess <2631 chacan > the kingdom <4437

<5957 <alam > and ever <5957 <alam > .

: 19 Then <0116 >edayin > I would <6634 ts@ba> > know <3046

y@da< > the truth <3321 y@tseb > of the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay >

beast <2423 cheyva> > , which <1768 diy > was diverse <8133

sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > the others , exceeding <3493

yattiyr > dreadful <1763 d@chal > , whose <1768 diy > teeth

<8128 shen > [ were of ] iron <6523 parzel > , and his nails

<2953 t@phar > [ of ] brass <5174 n@chash > ; [ which ]

devoured <0399 >akal > , brake <1855 d@qaq > in pieces , and

stamped <7512 r@phac > the residue <7606 sh@>ar > with his feet

<7271 r@gal > ;

: 20 And of the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > that [

before whom <4479 man > three <8532 t@lath > fell <5308 n@phal >

; even [ of ] that horn <7162 qeren > that had eyes <5870

chezev > [ was ] more <5750 <owd > stout <7229 rab > than

possessed <2631 chacan > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > .

: 23 Thus <3652 ken > he said <0560 >amar > , The fourth <7244

r@biy<ay > beast <2423 cheyva> > shall be the fourth <7244

r@biy<ay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > upon earth <0772 >ara< > ,

the whole <3606 kol > earth <0772 >ara< > , and shall tread

<1759 duwsh > it down , and break <1854 daqaq > it in pieces .

: 24 And the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > out of this

kingdom <4437 malkuw > [ are ] ten <6236 <asar > kings <4430

: 26 But the judgment <1780 diyn > shall sit <3488 y@thiyb > ,

and they shall take <5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> > his

dominion <7985 sholtan > , to consume <8046 sh@mad > and to

destroy <7> [ it ] unto the end <5491 cowph > .

: 27 And the kingdom <4437 malkuw > and dominion <7985 sholtan

: 28 Hitherto [ is ] the end <5491 cowph > of the matter

<4406 millah > . As for me Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > , my

millah > in my heart <3821 leb > .

: Daniel 8

: 1 . In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of the

reign <4438 malkuwth > of king <4428 melek > Belshazzar <1113

Belsha>tstsar > a vision <2377 chazown > appeared <7200 ra>ah >

unto me , [ even unto ] me Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , after

<0310 >achar > that which appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto me at the

first <8462 t@chillah > .

: 2 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > in a vision <2377 chazown > ; and

it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when I saw <7200 ra>ah > ,

that I [ was ] at Shushan <7800 Shuwshan > [ in ] the palace

<1002 biyrah > , which <0834 >aher > [ is ] in the province

<4082 m@diynah > of Elam <5867 <Eylam > ; and I saw <7200 ra>ah

> in a vision <2377 chazown > , and I was by the river <0180

>uwbal > of Ulai <0195 >Uwlay > .

: 3 Then I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,

and saw <7200 ra>ah > , and , behold <2009 hinneh > , there

stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the river <0180 >uwbal

> a ram <0352 >ayil > which had [ two ] horns <7161 qeren > :

and the [ two ] horns <7161 qeren > [ were ] high <1364

gaboahh > ; but one <0259 >echad > [ was ] higher <1364

gaboahh > than <4480 min > the other <8145 sheniy > , and the

higher <1364 gaboahh > came <5927 <alah > up last <0314

>acharown > .

: 4 I saw <7200 ra>ah > the ram <0352 >ayil > pushing <5055

nagach > westward <3220 yam > , and northward <6828 tsaphown > ,

and southward <5045 negeb > ; so that no <3808 lo> > beasts

<2416 chay > might stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him

, neither <0369 >ayin > [ was there any ] that could deliver

<5337 natsal > out of his hand <3027 yad > ; but he did <6213

<asah > according to his will <7522 ratsown > , and became

<1431 gadal > great <1431 gadal > .

: 5 And as I was considering <0995 biyn > , behold <2009

hinneh > , an he goat <5795 <ez > came <0935 bow> > from the

west <4628 ma<arab > on the face <6440 paniym > of the whole

<3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > , and touched <5060 naga< >

not the ground <0776 >erets > : and the goat <6842 tsaphiyr > [

had ] a notable <2380 chazuwth > horn <7161 qeren > between

<0996 beyn > his eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 6 And he came <0935 bow> > to the ram <0352 >ayil > that had

[ two ] horns <7161 qeren > , which <0834 >aher > I had seen

<7200 ra>ah > standing <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the

river <0180 >uwbal > , and ran <7323 ruwts > unto him in the

fury <2534 chemah > of his power <3581 koach > .

: 7 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > him come <5060 naga< > close <0681

>etsel > unto the ram <0352 >ayil > , and he was moved with

choler <4843 marar > against <0413 >el > him , and smote <5221

nakah > the ram <0352 >ayil > , and brake <7665 shabar > his

two <8147 sh@nayim > horns <7161 qeren > : and there was no

<3808 lo> > power <3581 koach > in the ram <0352 >ayil > to

stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him , but he cast

<7993 shalak > him down to the ground <0776 >erets > , and

stamped <7429 ramac > upon him : and there was none <3808 lo> >

that could deliver <5337 natsal > the ram <0352 >ayil > out of

his hand <3027 yad > .

: 8 Therefore the he goat <6842 tsaphiyr > waxed very great

<1431 gadal > : and when he was strong <6105 <atsam > , the

great <1419 gadowl > horn <7161 qeren > was broken <7665 shabar

notable <2380 chazuwth > ones toward the four <0702 >arba< >

winds <7307 ruwach > of heaven <8064 shamayim > .

: 9 And out of one <0259 >echad > of them came <3318 yatsa> >

forth <3318 yatsa> > a little <4704 mitsts@<iyrah > horn <7161

qeren > , which waxed exceeding <3499 yether > great <1431

gadal > , toward <0413 >el > the south <5045 negeb > , and

toward <0413 >el > the east <4217 mizrach > , and toward <0413

>el > the pleasant <6643 ts@biy > [ land ] .

: 10 And it waxed great <1431 gadal > , [ even ] to the host

<6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ; and it cast <5307

naphal > down <5307 naphal > [ some ] of the host <6635 tsaba>

and stamped <7429 ramac > upon them .

: 11 Yea , he magnified <1431 gadal > [ himself ] even to

the prince <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > , and by him

the daily <8548 tamiyd > [ sacrifice ] was taken <7311 ruwm >

away <7311 ruwm > , and the place <4349 makown > of his

sanctuary <4720 miqdash > was cast <7993 shalak > down .

: 12 And an host <6635 tsaba> > was given <5414 nathan > [ him

] against <5921 <al > the daily <8548 tamiyd > [ sacrifice ]

by reason of transgression <6588 pesha< > , and it cast <7993

shalak > down the truth <0571 >emeth > to the ground <0776

>erets > ; and it practised <6213 <asah > , and prospered

<6743 tsalach > .

: 13 Then I heard <8085 shama< > one <0259 >echad > saint <6918

qadowsh > speaking <1696 dabar > , and another <0259 >echad >

saint <6918 qadowsh > said <0559 >amar > unto that certain <6422

palmowniy > [ saint ] which spake <1696 dabar > , How <5704

<ad > long <5704 <ad > [ shall be ] the vision <2377 chazown >

[ concerning ] the daily <8548 tamiyd > [ sacrifice ] , and

the transgression <6588 pesha< > of desolation <8074 shamem > ,

to give <5414 nathan > both the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > and the

host <6635 tsaba> > to be trodden <4823 mirmac > under foot

<4823 mirmac > ?

: 14 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Unto two thousand

<0505 >eleph > and three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah >

days ; then shall the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > be cleansed

<6663 tsadaq > .

: 15 . And it came <1961 hayah > to pass , when I , [ even

] I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > , had seen <7200 ra>ah > the

vision <2377 chazown > , and sought <1245 baqash > for the

meaning <0998 biynah > , then , behold <2009 hinneh > , there

stood <5975 <amad > before <5048 neged > me as the appearance

<4758 mar>eh > of a man <1397 geber > .

: 16 And I heard <8085 shama< > a man s <0120 >adam > voice

<6963 qowl > between <0996 beyn > [ the banks of ] Ulai <0195

>Uwlay > , which called <7121 qara> > , and said <0559 >amar >

, Gabriel <1403 Gabriy>el > , make this <1975 hallaz > [ man

] to understand <0995 biyn > the vision <4758 mar>eh > .

: 17 So he came <0935 bow> > near <0681 >etsel > where I stood

<5977 <omed > : and when he came <0935 bow> > , I was afraid

<1204 ba<ath > , and fell <5307 naphal > upon my face <6440

paniym > : but he said <0559 >amar > unto me , Understand <0995

biyn > , O son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > : for at the

time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets > [ shall be ] the

vision <4758 mar>eh > .

: 18 Now as he was speaking <1696 dabar > with me , I was in a

deep <7290 radam > sleep <7290 radam > on <5921 <al > my face

<6440 paniym > toward the ground <0776 >erets > : but he touched

<5060 naga< > me , and set <5975 <amad > me upright <5977 <omed

: 19 And he said <0559 >amar > , Behold <2005 hen > , I will

make thee know <3045 yada< > what shall be in the last <0319

>achariyth > end of the indignation <2195 za<am > : for at the

time appointed <4150 mow<ed > the end <7093 qets > [ shall be ]

: 20 The ram <0352 >ayil > which <0834 >aher > thou sawest

<7200 ra>ah > having <1167 ba<al > [ two ] horns <7161 qeren >

[ are ] the kings <4428 melek > of Media <4074 Maday > and

Persia <6539 Parac > .

: 21 And the rough <8163 sa<iyr > goat <6842 tsaphiyr > [ is ]

the king <4428 melek > of Grecia <3120 Yavan > : and the great

<1419 gadowl > horn <7161 qeren > that [ is ] between <0996

beyn > his eyes <5869 <ayin > [ is ] the first <7223 ri>shown

: 22 Now that being broken <7665 shabar > , whereas four <0702

>arba< > stood <5975 <amad > up for it , four <0702 >arba< >

kingdoms <4438 malkuwth > shall stand <5975 <amad > up out of

the nation <1471 gowy > , but not in his power <3581 koach > .

: 23 And in the latter <0319 >achariyth > time of their kingdom

<4438 malkuwth > , when the transgressors <6586 pasha< > are

come to the full <8552 tamam > , a king <4428 melek > of fierce

<5794 <az > countenance <6440 paniym > , and understanding

<0995 biyn > dark <2420 chiydah > sentences <2420 chiydah > ,

shall stand <5975 <amad > up .

: 24 And his power <3581 koach > shall be mighty <6105 <atsam >

, but not by his own power <3581 koach > : and he shall destroy

<7843 shachath > wonderfully <6381 pala> > , and shall prosper

<6743 tsalach > , and practise <6213 <asah > , and shall

destroy <7843 shachath > the mighty <6099 <atsuwm > and the holy

<6918 qadowsh > people <5971 <am > .

: 25 And through <5921 <al > his policy <7922 sekel > also he

shall cause craft <4820 mirmah > to prosper <6743 tsalach > in

his hand <3027 yad > ; and he shall magnify <1431 gadal > [

himself ] in his heart <3824 lebab > , and by peace <7962

shalvah > shall destroy <7843 shachath > many <7227 rab > : he

shall also stand <5975 <amad > up against <5921 <al > the Prince

<8269 sar > of princes <8269 sar > ; but he shall be broken

<7665 shabar > without <0657 >ephec > hand <3027 yad > .

: 26 And the vision <4758 mar>eh > of the evening <6153 <ereb >

and the morning <1242 boqer > which <0834 >aher > was told <0560

>amar > [ is ] true <0571 >emeth > : wherefore shut <5640

catham > thou up the vision <2377 chazown > ; for it [ shall

be ] for many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > .

: 27 And I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > fainted <1961 hayah > , and

was sick <2470 chalah > [ certain ] days <3117 yowm > ;

afterward I rose <6965 quwm > up , and did <6213 <asah > the

king s <4428 melek > business <4399 m@la>kah > ; and I was

astonished <8074 shamem > at <5921 <al > the vision <4758 mar>eh

: Daniel 9

: 1 . In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of

Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh > the son <1121 ben > of Ahasuerus <0325

<5921 <al > the realm <4438 malkuwth > of the Chaldeans <3778

Kasdiy > ;

: 2 In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of his

biyn > by books <5612 cepher > the number <4557 micpar > of the

years <8141 shaneh > , whereof <0834 >aher > the word <1697

<8141 shaneh > in the desolations <2723 chorbah > of Jerusalem

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

: 3 And I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > unto the

Lord <0136 >Adonay > God <0430 >elohiym > , to seek <1245

baqash > by prayer <8605 t@phillah > and supplications <8469

: 4 . And I prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

my God <0430 >elohiym > , and made my confession <3034 yadah > ,

and said <0559 >amar > , O Lord <0136 >Adonay > , the great

thy servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > , which

<0834 >aher > spake <1696 dabar > in thy name <8034 shem > to

: 7 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > , righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > [

because of their trespass <4604 ma<al > that they have

trespassed <4603 ma<al > against thee .

: 8 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > , to us [ belongeth ] confusion

which <0834 >aher > he set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym >

: 11 Yea , all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have

transgressed <5674<abar > thy law <8451 towrah > , even by

departing <5493 cuwr > , that they might not obey <8085 shama<

that [ is ] written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah >

of Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of God <0430

: 14 Therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > watched <8245

righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > , I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,

let thine anger <0639 >aph > and thy fury <2534 chemah > be

turned <7725 shuwb > away from thy city <5892 <iyr > Jerusalem

for the iniquities <5771 <avon > of our fathers <1> , Jerusalem

<3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and thy people <5971 <am > [ are become ]

a reproach <2781 cherpah > to all <3605 kol > [ that are ]

: Daniel 10

: 1 . In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of

Cyrus <3566 Kowresh > king <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac >

a thing <1697 dabar > was revealed <1540 galah > unto Daniel

<1840 Daniye>l > , whose <0834 >aher > name <8034 shem > was

called <7121 qara> > Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar > ; and

the thing <1697 dabar > [ was ] true <0571 >emeth > , but the

time appointed <6635 tsaba> > [ was ] long <1419 gadowl > :

and he understood <0995 biyn > the thing <1697 dabar > , and

had understanding <0998 biynah > of the vision <4758 mar>eh > .

appearance <4758 mar>eh > of lightning <1300 baraq > , and his

eyes <5869 <ayin > as lamps <3940 lappiyd > of fire <0784 >esh >

like in colour <5869 <ayin > to polished <7044 qalal > brass

<5178 n@chosheth > , and the voice <6963 qowl > of his words

<1697 dabar > like the voice <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995

: 7 And I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > alone <0905 bad > saw <7200

<5307 naphal > upon them , so that they fled <1272 barach > to

hide <2244> themselves .

: 8 Therefore I was left <7604 sha>ar > alone <0905 bad > ,

and saw <7200 ra>ah > this great <1419 gadowl > vision <4759

mar>ah > , and there remained <7604 sha>ar > no <3808 lo> >

strength <3581 koach > in me : for my comeliness <1935 howd >

touched <5060 naga< >me , which set <5128 nuwa< > me upon my

: 13 But the prince <8269 sar > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth >

of Persia <6539 Parac > withstood <5975 <amad > me one <0259

came <0935 bow> > to help <5826 <azar > me ; and I remained

: 16 And , behold <2009 hinneh > , [ one ] like the

similitude <1823 d@muwth > of the sons <1121 ben > of men <0120

I , stood <5975 <amad > to confirm <2388 chazaq > and to

strengthen <4581 ma<owz > him .

according to his will <7522 ratsown > .

: 4 And when he shall stand <5975 <amad > up , his kingdom

<4438 malkuwth > shall be broken <7665 shabar > , and shall be

divided <2673 chatsah > toward the four <0702 >arba< > winds

: 5 . And the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb >

: 6 And in the end <7093 qets > of years <8141 shaneh > they

shall join <2266 chabar > themselves together ; for the king s

<4428 melek > daughter <1323 bath > of the south <5045 negeb >

shall come <0935 bow> > to the king <4428 melek > of the north

but she shall be given <5414 nathan > up , and they that

brought <0935 bow> > her , and he that begat <3205 yalad > her ,

: 13 For the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown >

shall return <7725 shuwb > , and shall set <5975 <amad > forth

a multitude <1995 hamown > greater <7227 rab > than <4480 min >

shaneh > with a great <1419 gadowl > army <2428 chayil > and

with much riches <7399 r@kuwsh > .

: 14 And in those <1992 hem > times <6256 <eth > there shall

many <7227 rab > stand <5975 <amad > up against <5921 <al > the

king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > : also the robbers

<6530 p@riyts > of thy people <5971 <am > shall exalt <5375

chazown > ; but they shall fall <3782 kashal > .

: 15 So the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown >

shall come <0935 bow> > , and cast <8210 shaphak > up a mount

<5550 col@lah > , and take <3920 lakad > the most fenced <4013

the south <5045 negeb > shall not withstand <5975 <amad > ,

neither <0369 >ayin > his chosen <4005 mibchar > people <5971

: 16 But he that cometh <0935 bow> > against <0413 >el > him

shall do <6213 <asah > according to his own <7522 ratsown > will

<7522 ratsown > , and none <0369 >ayin > shall stand <5975

<amad > in the glorious <6643 ts@biy > land <0776 >erets > ,

which by his hand <3027 yad > shall be consumed <3615 kalah > .

: 17 He shall also set <7760 suwm > his face <6440 paniym > to

enter <0935 bow> > with the strength <8633 toqeph > of his whole

<3605 kol > kingdom <4438 malkuwth > , and upright <3477 yashar

not stand <5975 <amad > [ on his side ] , neither <3808 lo> >

: 18 After this shall he turn <7725 shuwb > his face <6440

paniym > unto the isles <0339 >iy > , and shall take <3920

lakad > many <7227 rab > : but a prince <7101 qatsiyn > for his

him to cease <7673 shabath > ; without <1115 biltiy > his own

reproach <2781 cherpah > he shall cause [ it ] to turn <7725

shuwb > upon him .

: 19 Then he shall turn <7725 shuwb > his face <6440 paniym >

toward the fort <4581 ma<owz > of his own land <0776 >erets > :

but he shall stumble <3782 kashal > and fall <5307 naphal > ,

and not be found <4672 matsa> > .

: 20 Then shall stand <5975 <amad > up in his estate <3653 ken

glory <1925 heder > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth > : but within

<3808 lo> > in battle <4421 milchamah > .

: 21 . And in his estate <3653 ken > shall stand <5975 <amad >

up a vile <0959 bazah > person , to whom <5921 <al > they shall

not give <5414 nathan > the honour <1935 howd > of the kingdom

<4438 malkuwth > : but he shall come <0935 bow> > in peaceably

<7962 shalvah > , and obtain <2388 chazaq > the kingdom <4438

covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

: 23 And after the league <2266 chabar > [ made ] with him he

shall work <6213 <asah > deceitfully <4820 mirmah > : for he

shall come <5927 <alah > up , and shall become <6105 <atsam >

strong <6105 <atsam > with a small <4592 m@<at > people <1471

gowy > .

: 24 He shall enter <0935 bow> > peaceably <7962 shalvah > even

upon the fattest <4924 mashman > places of the province <4082

m@diynah > ; and he shall do <6213 <asah > [ that ] which

<0834 >aher > his fathers <1> have not done <6213 <asah > , nor

his fathers <1> fathers <1> ; he shall scatter <0967 bazar >

<2803 chashab > his devices <4284 machashabah > against <5921

<al > the strong <4013 mibtsar > holds <4013 mibtsar > , even

for a time <6256 <eth > .

: 25 And he shall stir <5782 <uwr > up his power <3581 koach >

and his courage <3824 lebab > against <5921 <al > the king <4428

melek > of the south <5045 negeb > with a great <1419 gadowl >

army <2428 chayil > ; and the king <4428 melek > of the south

<5045 negeb > shall be stirred <1624 garah > up to battle <4421

milchamah > with a very great <1419 gadowl > and mighty <6099

machashabah > against <5921 <al > him .

: 26 Yea , they that feed <0398 >akal > of the portion <6598

pathbag > of his meat <6598 pathbag > shall destroy <7665 shabar

slain <2491 chalal > .

: 27 And both <8147 sh@nayim > these kings <4428 melek >

hearts <3824 lebab > [ shall be ] to do mischief <4827 mera< >

, and they shall speak <1696 dabar > lies <3576 kazab > at

shall not prosper <6743 tsalach > : for yet <5750 <owd > the end

<7093 qets > [ shall be ] at the time appointed <4150 mow<ed >

: 28 Then shall he return <7725 shuwb > into his land <0776

his heart <3824 lebab > [ shall be ] against <5921 <al > the

holy <6944 qodesh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > ; and he shall do

<6213 <asah > [ exploits ] , and return <7725 shuwb > to his

: 29 At the time appointed <4150 mow<ed > he shall return <7725

shuwb > , and come <0935 bow> > toward the south <5045 negeb > ;

but it shall not be as the former <7223 ri>shown > , or as

the latter <0314 >acharown > .

: 30 For the ships <6716 tsiy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy > shall

come <0935 bow> > against him : therefore he shall be grieved

<3512 ka>ah > , and return <7725 shuwb > , and have

indignation <2194 za<am > against <5921 <al > the holy <6944

qodesh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > : so shall he do <6213 <asah >

; he shall even return <7725 shuwb > , and have intelligence

<0995 biyn > with them that forsake <5800 <azab > the holy <6944

qodesh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

: 31 And arms <2220 z@rowa< > shall stand <5975 <amad > on his

part <2506 cheleq > , and they shall pollute <2490 chalal > the

sanctuary <4720 miqdash > of strength <4581 ma<owz > , and

shall take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the daily <8548 tamiyd

abomination <8251 shiqquwts > that maketh desolate <8074 shamem

: 32 And such as do wickedly <7561 rasha< > against the

covenant <1285 b@riyth > shall he corrupt <2610 chaneph > by

flatteries <2514 chalaqqah > : but the people <5971 <am > that

do know <3045 yada< > their God <0430 >elohiym > shall be strong

<2388 chazaq > , and do <6213 <asah > [ exploits ] .

: 33 And they that understand <7919 sakal > among the people

<5971 <am > shall instruct <0995 biyn > many <7227 rab > : yet

they shall fall <3782 kashal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,

and by flame <3852 lehabah > , by captivity <7628 sh@biy > ,

and by spoil <0961 bizzah > , [ many ] days <3117 yowm > .

: 34 Now when they shall fall <3782 kashal > , they shall be

holpen <5826 <azar > with a little <4592 m@<at > help <5828

<ezer > : but many <7227 rab > shall cleave <3867 lavah > to

them with flatteries <2519 chalaqlaqqah > .

: 35 And [ some ] of them of understanding <7919 sakal >

shall fall <3782 kashal > , to try <6884 tsaraph > them , and

to purge <1305 barar > , and to make [ them ] white <3835

appointed <4150 mow<ed > .

: 36 And the king <4428 melek > shall do <6213 <asah >

according to his will<7522 ratsown > ; and he shall exalt <7311

ruwm > himself , and magnify <1431 gadal > himself above <5921

<al > every <3605 kol > god <0410 >el > , and shall speak <1696

dabar > marvellous <6381 pala> > things against <5921 <al > the

God <0410 >el > of gods <0410 >el > , and shall prosper <6743

tsalach > till <5704 <ad > the indignation <2195 za<am > be

accomplished <3615 kalah > : for that that is determined <2782

charats > shall be done <6213 <asah > .

: 37 Neither <3808 lo> > shall he regard <0995 biyn > the God

<0430 >elohiym > of his fathers <1> , nor the desire <2532

chemdah > of women <0802 >ishshah > , nor <3808 lo> > regard

<0995 biyn > any <3605 kol > god <0433 >elowahh > : for he shall

magnify <1431 gadal > himself above <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > .

: 38 But in his estate <3653 ken > shall he honour <3513 kabad

<0433 >elowahh > whom <0834 >aher > his fathers <1> knew <3045

: 39 Thus shall he do <6213 <asah > in the most <4581 ma<owz >

strong <4581 ma<owz > holds <4013 mibtsar > with a strange <5236

nekar > god <0433 >elowahh > , whom <0834 >aher > he shall

: 40 And at the time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets > shall

the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > push <5055

nagach > at him : and the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828

a whirlwind <8175 sa<ar > , with chariots <7393 rekeb > , and

with horsemen <6571 parash > , and with many <7227 rab > ships

<0591 >oniyah > ; and he shall enter <0935 bow> > into the

countries <0776 >erets > , and shall overflow <7857 shataph >

and pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > .

: 41 He shall enter <0935 bow> > also into the glorious <6643

[ even ] Edom <0123 >Edom > , and Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , and

the chief <7225 re>shiyth > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon

: 44 But tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > out of the east <4217
