Daniel 2:1-49

And in the second
<08147>
year
<08141>
of the reign
<04438>
of Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
dreamed
<02492> (8804)
dreams
<02472>_,
wherewith his spirit
<07307>
was troubled
<06470> (8691)_,
and his sleep
<08142>
brake
<01961> (8738)
from him.
Then the king
<04428>
commanded
<0559> (8799)
to call
<07121> (8800)
the magicians
<02748>_,
and the astrologers
<0825>_,
and the sorcerers
<03784> (8764)_,
and the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
for to shew
<05046> (8687)
the king
<04428>
his dreams
<02472>_.
So they came
<0935> (8799)
and stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I have dreamed
<02492> (8804)
a dream
<02472>_,
and my spirit
<07307>
was troubled
<06470> (8735)
to know
<03045> (8800)
the dream
<02472>_.
Then spake
<01696> (8762)
the Chaldeans
<03778>
to the king
<04428>
in Syriack
<0762>_,
O king
<04430>_,
live
<02418> (8747)
for ever
<05957>_:
tell
<0560> (8747)
thy servants
<05649>
the dream
<02493>_,
and we will shew
<02324> (8741)
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{O king...: (Chaldee, to the end of chapter seven)}
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to the Chaldeans
<03779>_,
The thing
<04406>
is gone
<0230> (8754)
from me
<04481>_:
if
<02006>
ye will not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the dream
<02493>_,
with the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, ye shall be cut
<05648> (8725)
in pieces
<01917>_,
and your houses
<01005>
shall be made
<07761> (8725)
a dunghill
<05122>_.
{cut...: Chaldee, made pieces}
But if
<02006>
ye shew
<02324> (8681)
the dream
<02493>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof, ye shall receive
<06902> (8741)
of
<04481>
me
<06925>
gifts
<04978>
and rewards
<05023>
and great
<07690>
honour
<03367>_:
therefore
<03861>
shew
<02324> (8680)
me the dream
<02493>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answered
<06032> (8754)
again
<08579>
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Let the king
<04430>
tell
<0560> (8748)
his servants
<05649>
the dream
<02493>_,
and we will shew
<02324> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
of it.
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
I
<0576>
know
<03046> (8751)
of
<04481>
certainty
<03330>
that ye
<0608>
would gain
<02084> (8750)
the time
<05732>_,
because
<06903> <03606>
ye see
<02370> (8754)
the thing
<04406>
is gone
<0230> (8754)
from
<04481>
me. {gain: Chaldee, buy}
But if
<02006>
ye will not
<03809>
make known
<03046> (8681)
unto me the dream
<02493>_,
[there is but] one
<01932> <02298>
decree
<01882>
for you: for ye have prepared
<02164> (8724)
lying
<03538>
and corrupt
<07844> (8752)
words
<04406>
to speak
<0560> (8749)
before
<06925>
me, till
<05705>
the time
<05732>
be changed
<08133> (8721)_:
therefore
<03861>
tell
<0560> (8747)
me the dream
<02493>_,
and I shall know
<03046> (8748)
that
<01768>
ye can shew
<02324> (8681)
me the interpretation
<06591>
thereof.
The Chaldeans
<03779>
answered
<06032> (8754)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
There is
<0383>
not
<03809>
a man
<0606>
upon
<05922>
the earth
<03007>
that can
<03202> (8748)
shew
<02324> (8682)
the king's
<04430>
matter
<04406>_:
therefore
<06903> <01768>
[there is] no
<03809>
king
<04430>_,
lord
<07229>_,
nor ruler
<07990>_,
[that] asked
<07593> (8754)
such
<01836>
things
<04406>
at any
<03606>
magician
<02749>_,
or astrologer
<0826>_,
or Chaldean
<03779>_.
And [it is] a rare
<03358>
thing
<04406>
that the king
<04430>
requireth
<07593> (8751)_,
and there is
<0383>
none
<03809>
other
<0321>
that can shew
<02324> (8741)
it before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
except
<03861>
the gods
<0426>_,
whose dwelling
<04070>
is
<0383>
not
<03809>
with
<05974>
flesh
<01321>_.
For
<06903>
this
<01836>
cause
<03606>
the king
<04430>
was angry
<01149> (8754)
and very
<07690>
furious
<07108> (8754)_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
to destroy
<07> (8682)
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
And the decree
<01882>
went forth
<05312> (8754)
that the wise
<02445>
[men] should be slain
<06992> (8726)_;
and they sought
<01156> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>
and his fellows
<02269>
to be slain
<06992> (8723)_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<08421> (8684)
with counsel
<05843>
and wisdom
<02942>
to Arioch
<0746>
the captain
<07229>
of
<01768>
the king's
<04430>
guard
<02877>_,
which was gone forth
<05312> (8754)
to slay
<06992> (8742)
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
{answered...: Chaldee, returned} {captain...: or, chief marshal: Chaldee, chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
He answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Arioch
<0746>
the king's
<04430>
captain
<07990>_,
Why
<04101> <05922>
[is] the decree
<01882>
[so] hasty
<02685> (8683)
from
<04481> <06925>
the king
<04430>_?
Then
<0116>
Arioch
<0746>
made the thing
<04406>
known
<03046> (8684)
to Daniel
<01841>_.
Then Daniel
<01841>
went in
<05954> (8754)_,
and desired
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>
that he would give
<05415> (8748)
him time
<02166>_,
and that he would shew
<02324> (8682)
the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
went
<0236> (8754)
to his house
<01005>_,
and made the thing
<04406>
known
<03046> (8684)
to Hananiah
<02608>_,
Mishael
<04333>_,
and Azariah
<05839>_,
his companions
<02269>_:
That they would desire
<01156> (8749)
mercies
<07359>
of
<04481> <06925>
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
concerning
<05922>
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_;
that Daniel
<01841>
and his fellows
<02269>
should not
<03809>
perish
<07> (8681)
with
<05974>
the rest
<07606>
of the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
{of the God: Chaldee, from before God} {that Daniel...: or, that they should not destroy Daniel, etc}
Then
<0116>
was the secret
<07328>
revealed
<01541> (8752)
unto Daniel
<01841>
in a night
<03916>
vision
<02376>_.
Then
<0116>
Daniel
<01841>
blessed
<01289> (8745)
the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>_.
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Blessed
<01289> (8743)
be
<01934> (8748)
the name
<08036>
of God
<0426>
for
<04481>
ever
<05957>
and ever
<05705> <05957>_:
for wisdom
<02452>
and might
<01370>
are
<01932>
his:
And he changeth
<08133> (8683)
the times
<05732>
and the seasons
<02166>_:
he removeth
<05709> (8683)
kings
<04430>_,
and setteth up
<06966> (8683)
kings
<04430>_:
he giveth
<03052> (8751)
wisdom
<02452>
unto the wise
<02445>_,
and knowledge
<04486>
to them that know
<03046> (8751)
understanding
<0999>_:
He revealeth
<01541> (8751)
the deep
<05994>
and secret things
<05642> (8743)_:
he knoweth
<03046> (8751)
what
<04101>
[is] in the darkness
<02816>_,
and the light
<05094>
dwelleth
<08271> (8754)
with him
<05974>_.
I
<0576>
thank
<03029> (8683)
thee, and praise
<07624> (8743)
thee, O thou God
<0426>
of my fathers
<02>_,
who hast given
<03052> (8754)
me wisdom
<02452>
and might
<01370>_,
and hast made known
<03046> (8684)
unto me now
<03705>
what we desired
<01156> (8754)
of thee
<04481>_:
for thou hast [now] made known
<03046> (8684)
unto us the king's
<04430>
matter
<04406>_.
Therefore
<03606> <06903> <01836>
Daniel
<01841>
went in
<05954> (8754)
unto
<05922>
Arioch
<0746>_,
whom the king
<04430>
had ordained
<04483> (8745)
to destroy
<07> (8682)
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
he went
<0236> (8754)
and said
<0560> (8754)
thus
<03652>
unto him; Destroy
<07> (8681)
not
<0409>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_:
bring me in
<05954> (8680)
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_,
and I will shew
<02324> (8741)
unto the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
Then
<0116>
Arioch
<0746>
brought in
<05954> (8684)
Daniel
<01841>
before
<06925>
the king
<04430>
in haste
<0927> (8726)_,
and said
<0560> (8754)
thus
<03652>
unto him, I have found
<07912> (8684)
a man
<01400>
of the captives
<01123> <01547>
of
<04481>
Judah
<03061>_,
that will make known
<03046> (8681)
unto the king
<04430>
the interpretation
<06591>_.
{I have...: Chaldee, That I have found} {captives...: Chaldee, children of the captivity of Judah}
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
and said
<0560> (8750)
to Daniel
<01841>_,
whose name
<08036>
[was] Belteshazzar
<01096>_,
Art
<0383>
thou able
<03546> (8751)
to make known
<03046> (8682)
unto me the dream
<02493>
which I have seen
<02370> (8754)_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof?
Daniel
<01841>
answered
<06032> (8750)
in the presence
<06925>
of the king
<04430>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
The secret
<07328>
which the king
<04430>
hath demanded
<07593> (8751)
cannot
<03202> (8750) <03809>
the wise
<02445>
[men], the astrologers
<0826>_,
the magicians
<02749>_,
the soothsayers
<01505> (8750)_,
shew
<02324> (8682)
unto the king
<04430>_;
But
<01297>
there is
<0383>
a God
<0426>
in heaven
<08065>
that revealeth
<01541> (8751)
secrets
<07328>_,
and maketh known
<03046> (8684)
to the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
what
<04101>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
in the latter
<0320>
days
<03118>_.
Thy dream
<02493>_,
and the visions
<02376>
of thy head
<07217>
upon
<05922>
thy bed
<04903>_,
are these
<01836>_;
{maketh...: Chaldee, hath made known}
As for thee
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
thy thoughts
<07476>
came
<05559> (8760)
[into thy mind] upon
<05922>
thy bed
<04903>_,
what
<04101>
should come to pass
<01934> (8748)
hereafter
<0311> <01836>_:
and he that revealeth
<01541> (8751)
secrets
<07328>
maketh known
<03046> (8684)
to thee what
<04101>
shall come to pass
<01934> (8748)_.
{came: Chaldee, came up}
But as for me
<0576>_,
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>
is not
<03809>
revealed
<01541> (8752)
to me for [any] wisdom
<02452>
that I have
<0383>
more than
<04481>
any
<03606>
living
<02417>_,
but
<03861>
for [their] sakes
<01701>
that
<05922>
shall make known
<03046> (8681)
the interpretation
<06591>
to the king
<04430>_,
and that thou mightest know
<03046> (8748)
the thoughts
<07476>
of thy heart
<03825>_.
{but for...: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
sawest
<01934> (8754) <02370> (8751)_,
and behold
<0431>
a great
<02298> <07690>
image
<06755>_.
This
<01797>
great
<07229>
image
<06755>_,
whose brightness
<02122>
[was] excellent
<03493>_,
stood
<06966> (8750)
before
<06903>
thee; and the form
<07299>
thereof [was] terrible
<01763> (8753)_.
{sawest: Chaldee, wast seeing}
This image's
<06755>
head
<07217>
[was] of fine
<02869>
gold
<01722>_,
his breast
<02306>
and his arms
<01872>
of silver
<03702>_,
his belly
<04577>
and his thighs
<03410>
of brass
<05174>_,
{thighs: or, sides}
His legs
<08243>
of iron
<06523>_,
his feet
<07271>
part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_.
Thou sawest
<02370> (8751) <01934> (8754)
till
<05705>
that a stone
<069>
was cut out
<01505> (8728)
without
<03809>
hands
<03028>_,
which smote
<04223> (8754)
the image
<06755>
upon
<05922>
his feet
<07271>
[that were] of iron
<06523>
and clay
<02635>_,
and brake
<01855> (0)
them
<01994>
to pieces
<01855> (8684)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands}
Then
<0116>
was the iron
<06523>_,
the clay
<02635>_,
the brass
<05174>_,
the silver
<03702>_,
and the gold
<01722>_,
broken to pieces
<01855> (8754) (8676) <01751> (8754)
together
<02298>_,
and became
<01934> (8754)
like the chaff
<05784>
of
<04481>
the summer
<07007>
threshingfloors
<0147>_;
and the wind
<07308>
carried
<05376> (0)
them
<01994>
away
<05376> (8754)_,
that
<03606>
no
<03809>
place
<0870>
was found
<07912> (8728)
for them: and the stone
<069>
that smote
<04223> (8754)
the image
<06755>
became
<01934> (8754)
a great
<07229>
mountain
<02906>_,
and filled
<04391> (8754)
the whole
<03606>
earth
<0772>_.
This
<01836>
[is] the dream
<02493>_;
and we will tell
<0560> (8748)
the interpretation
<06591>
thereof before
<06925>
the king
<04430>_.
Thou
<0607>_,
O king
<04430>_,
[art] a king
<04430>
of kings
<04430>_:
for the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
hath given
<03052> (8754)
thee a kingdom
<04437>_,
power
<02632>_,
and strength
<08632>_,
and glory
<03367>_.
And wheresoever
<03606>
the children
<01123>
of men
<0606>
dwell
<01753> (8748)_,
the beasts
<02423>
of the field
<01251>
and the fowls
<05776>
of the heaven
<08065>
hath he given
<03052> (8754)
into thine hand
<03028>_,
and hath made thee ruler
<07981> (8684)
over them all
<03606>_.
Thou
<0607>
[art] this head
<07217>
of gold
<01722>_.
And after
<0870>
thee shall arise
<06966> (8748)
another
<0317>
kingdom
<04437>
inferior
<0772>
to thee
<04481>_,
and another
<0317>
third
<08523>
kingdom
<04437>
of brass
<05174>_,
which shall bear rule
<07981> (8748)
over all
<03606>
the earth
<0772>_.
And the fourth
<07244>
kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
strong
<08624>
as iron
<06523>_:
forasmuch as iron
<06523>
breaketh in pieces
<01855> (8683)
and subdueth
<02827> (8751)
all
<03606>
[things]: and as
<06903>
iron
<06523>
that breaketh
<07490> (8750)
all
<03606>
these
<0459>_,
shall it break in pieces
<01855> (8681)
and bruise
<07490> (8748)_.
And whereas thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
the feet
<07271>
and toes
<0677>_,
part
<04481>
of potters
<06353>_'
clay
<02635>_,
and part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>_,
the kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
divided
<06386> (8752)_;
but
<04481> (0)
there shall be
<01934> (8748)
in it of
<04481>
the strength
<05326>
of the iron
<06523>_,
forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
the iron
<06523>
mixed
<06151> (8743)
with miry
<02917>
clay
<02635>_.
And [as] the toes
<0677>
of the feet
<07271>
[were] part
<04481>
of iron
<06523>_,
and part
<04481>
of clay
<02635>_,
[so] the kingdom
<04437>
shall be
<01934> (8748)
partly
<04481> <07118>
strong
<08624>_,
and partly
<04481> <07118>
broken
<08406> (8750)_.
{broken: or, brittle}
And whereas
<01768>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
iron
<06523>
mixed
<06151> (8743)
with miry
<02917>
clay
<02635>_,
they shall mingle themselves
<01934> (8748) <06151> (8723)
with the seed
<02234>
of men
<0606>_:
but they shall
<01934> (8748)
not
<03809>
cleave
<01693> (8751)
one
<01836>
to
<05974>
another
<01836>_,
even
<01888>
as iron
<06523>
is not
<03809>
mixed
<06151> (8723)
with clay
<02635>_.
{one...: Chaldee, this with this}
And in the days
<03118>
of these
<0581>
kings
<04430>
shall the God
<0426>
of heaven
<08065>
set up
<06966> (8681)
a kingdom
<04437>_,
which shall never
<05957> <03809>
be destroyed
<02255> (8721)_:
and the kingdom
<04437>
shall not
<03809>
be left
<07662> (8721)
to other
<0321>
people
<05972>_,
[but] it shall break in pieces
<01855> (8681)
and consume
<05487> (8681)
all
<03606>
these
<0459>
kingdoms
<04437>_,
and it
<01932>
shall stand
<06966> (8748)
for ever
<05957>_.
{the days: Chaldee, their days} {the kingdom: Chaldee, the kingdom thereof}
Forasmuch as
<03606> <06903>
thou sawest
<02370> (8754)
that the stone
<069>
was cut out
<01505> (8728)
of the mountain
<02906>
without
<03809>
hands
<03028>_,
and that it brake in pieces
<01855> (8684)
the iron
<06523>_,
the brass
<05174>_,
the clay
<02635>_,
the silver
<03702>_,
and the gold
<01722>_;
the great
<07229>
God
<0426>
hath made known
<03046> (8684)
to the king
<04430>
what
<04101>
shall come to pass
<01934> (8748)
hereafter
<0311> <01836>_:
and the dream
<02493>
[is] certain
<03330>_,
and the interpretation
<06591>
thereof sure
<0540> (8683)_.
{without...: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Chaldee, after this}
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
Nebuchadnezzar
<05020>
fell
<05308> (8754)
upon
<05922>
his face
<0600>_,
and worshipped
<05457> (8754)
Daniel
<01841>_,
and commanded
<0560> (8754)
that they should offer
<05260> (8742)
an oblation
<04504>
and sweet odours
<05208>
unto him.
The king
<04430>
answered
<06032> (8750)
unto Daniel
<01841>_,
and said
<0560> (8750)_,
Of
<04481>
a truth
<07187>
[it is], that
<01768>
your God
<0426>
[is] a God
<0426>
of gods
<0426>_,
and a Lord
<04756>
of kings
<04430>_,
and a revealer
<01541> (8751)
of secrets
<07328>_,
seeing thou couldest
<03202> (8754)
reveal
<01541> (8749)
this
<01836>
secret
<07328>_.
Then
<0116>
the king
<04430>
made
<07236> (0)
Daniel
<01841>
a great man
<07236> (8745)_,
and gave
<03052> (8754)
him many
<07690>
great
<07260>
gifts
<04978>_,
and made him ruler
<07981> (8684)
over
<05922>
the whole
<03606>
province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_,
and chief
<07229>
of the governors
<05460>
over
<05922>
all
<03606>
the wise
<02445>
[men] of Babylon
<0895>_.
Then Daniel
<01841>
requested
<01156> (8754)
of
<04481>
the king
<04430>_,
and he set
<04483> (8745)
Shadrach
<07715>_,
Meshach
<04336>_,
and Abednego
<05665>_,
over
<05922>
the affairs
<05673>
of the province
<04083>
of Babylon
<0895>_:
but Daniel
<01841>
[sat] in the gate
<08651>
of the king
<04430>_.
