Daniel 7:6

“After these things, ¹  as I was watching, another beast ²  like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. ³  This beast had four heads, ⁴  and ruling authority was given to it.

Eze 17:3; Da 2:39; Da 7:4; Da 8:5-7,20,21; Da 8:8,22; Da 10:20; Da 11:3-20; Da 11:4-20; Ho 13:7; Re 13:2

¹ tn Aram “this.” So also in v. 7.

² tn Aram “and behold, another one.”

³ tn Or “sides.”

⁴ 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.
