Daniel 4:11

it could be seen 1 from the borders of all the land. 2
Daniel 4:22
Context4:22 it is you, 3 O king! For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, and your authority to the ends of the earth.
1 tn Aram “its sight.” So also v. 17.
2 tn Or “to the end of all the earth” (so KJV, ASV); NCV, CEV “from anywhere on earth.”
3 sn Much of modern scholarship views this chapter as a distortion of traditions that were originally associated with Nabonidus rather than with Nebuchadnezzar. A Qumran text, the Prayer of Nabonidus, is often cited for parallels to these events.
