1 tn Heb “lifted my eyes.”
2 tn Heb “and behold.”

4 tn Heb “high” (also “higher” later in this verse).
5 tn The words “all this” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.
6 tn Heb “and behold, a he-goat of the goats.”
7 tn Or “of the whole earth” (NAB, ASV, NASB, NRSV).
8 tn Heb “a horn of vision” [or “conspicuousness”], i.e., “a conspicuous horn,” one easily seen.
9 sn The question is rhetorical, intended to encourage reflection on Daniel’s part.
