2:29 “As for you, O king, while you were in your bed your thoughts turned to future things. 1 The revealer of mysteries has made known to you what will take place.
7:6 “After these things, 2 as I was watching, another beast 3 like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. 4 This beast had four heads, 5 and ruling authority was given to it.
1 tn Aram “your thoughts upon your bed went up to what will be after this.”
2 tn Aram “this.” So also in v. 7.
3 tn Aram “and behold, another one.”
4 tn Or “sides.”
5 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.
