The King’s Dream
1 Now in the second H8147 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Nebuchadnezzar H5019, Nebuchadnezzar H5019 [fn]had H2492 dreams H2472; and his spirit H7307 was troubled H6470 and his sleep H8142 [fn]left H1961 him.
2 Then the king H4428 [fn]gave H559 orders H559 to call H7121 in the soothsayer H2748 priests H2748, the conjurers H825, the sorcerers H3784, and the [fn]Chaldeans H3778, to [fn]tell H5046 the king H4428 his dreams H2472. So they came H935 in H935 and stood H5975 before H6440 the king H4428. 3 The king H4428 said H559 to them, “I [fn]had H2492 a dream H2472, and my spirit H7307 [fn]is anxious H6470 to [fn]understand H3045 the dream H2472.”
4 Then the Chaldeans H3778 spoke H1696 to the king H4428 in [fn]Aramaic H762: “O king H4430, live H2418 forever H5957! Tell H560 the dream H2493 to your servants H5649, and we will declare H2324 the interpretation H6591.” 5 The king H4430 replied H6032 to the Chaldeans H3779, “The command H4406 [fn]from me is firm H230: if H2006 you do not make H3046 known H3046 to me the dream H2493 and its interpretation H6591, you will be [fn]torn H5648 limb H1917 from limb and your houses H1005 will be turned H7761 into a rubbish H5122 heap H5122. 6 But if H2006 you declare H2324 the dream H2493 and its interpretation H6591, you will receive H6902 from me gifts H4978 and a reward H5023 and great H7690 honor H3367; therefore H3861 declare H2324 to me the dream H2493 and its interpretation H6591.” 7 They answered H6032 a second H8579 time H8579 and said H560, “Let the king H4430 tell H560 the dream H2493 to his servants H5649, and we will declare H2324 the interpretation H6591.” 8 The king H4430 replied H6032, “I know H3046 for certain H3330 that you are trying H2084 to H2084 buy H2084 time H5732, because H6903 H1768 you have perceived H2370 that the command H4406 [fn]from me is firm H230, 9 that if H2006 you do not make H3046 the dream H2493 known H3046 to me, there is only one H2298 [fn]decree H1882 for you. For you have agreed H2164 together H2164 to speak H560 lying H3538 and corrupt H7844 [fn]words H4406 before H6925 me until H5705 H1768 the [fn]situation H5732 is changed H8133; therefore H3861 tell H560 me the dream H2493, so that I may know H3046 that you can declare H2324 to me its interpretation H6591.” 10 The Chaldeans H3779 answered H6032 [fn]the king H4430 and said H560, “There H383 is H383 no H3809 person H606 on earth H3007 who H1768 could H3202 declare H2324 the matter H4406 [fn]to the king H4430, because H6903 H1768 no H3606 H3809 great H7229 king H4430 or ruler H7990 has ever asked H7593 anything H4406 like this H1836 of any H3606 soothsayer H2749 priest H2749, sorcerer H826, or Chaldean H3779. 11 Moreover, the thing H4406 which H1768 the king H4430 demands H7593 is difficult H3358, and there H383 is H383 no H3809 one H321 else H321 who H1768 could declare H2324 it [fn]to the king H4430 except H3861 gods H426, whose H1768 dwelling H4070 place H4070 is not with mortal flesh H1321.”
12 Because H6903 of this H1836, the king H4430 became H1149 angry H1149 and extremely H7690 furious H7108, and he gave H560 orders H560 to kill H7 all H3606 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895. 13 So the [fn]decree H1882 was issued H5312 that the wise H2445 men H2445 be killed H6992; and they looked H1156 for H1156 Daniel H1841 and his friends H2269, to [fn]kill H6992 them.
14 Then H116 Daniel H1841 replied H8421 with discretion H5843 and discernment H2942 to Arioch H746, the captain H7229 of the king’s H4430 [fn]bodyguard H2877, who H1768 had gone H5312 out H5312 to kill H6992 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895; 15 he said H560 to Arioch H746, the king’s H4430 officer H7990, “For what H4101 reason H5922 H4101 is the decree H1882 from the king H4430 so harsh H2685?” Then H116 Arioch H746 informed H3046 Daniel H1841 of the matter H4406. 16 So Daniel H1841 went H5954 in H5954 and requested H1156 of the king H4430 that he would give H5415 him a grace H2166 period H2166, so that he might declare H2324 the interpretation H6591 to the king H4430.
17 Then H116 Daniel H1841 went H236 to his house H1005 and informed H3046 his friends H2269, Hananiah H2608, Mishael H4331 and Azariah H5839, about the matter H4406, 18 so that they might request H1156 compassion H7359 from the God H426 of heaven H8065 concerning H5922 this H1836 secret H7328, so H1768 that H1768 Daniel H1841 and his friends H2269 would not be killed H7 with the rest H7606 of the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895.
The Secret Is Revealed to Daniel
19 Then H116 the secret H7328 was revealed H1541 to Daniel H1841 in a night H3916 vision H2376. Then H116 Daniel H1841 blessed H1289 the God H426 of heaven H8065; 20 Daniel H1841 said H560,
“May the name H8036 of God H426 be blessed H1289 forever H5957 and ever H5957,
For wisdom H2452 and power H1370 belong to Him.
21 “It is He who changes H8133 the times H5732 and the periods H2166;
He removes H5709 kings H4430 and appoints H6966 kings H4430;
He gives H3052 wisdom H2452 to wise H2445 men H2445,
And knowledge H4486 to [fn]people of understanding H999.
22 “It is He who reveals H1541 the profound H5994 and hidden H5642 things H5642;
He knows H3046 what H4101 is in the darkness H2816,
And the light H5094 dwells H8271 with Him.
23 “To You, God H426 of my fathers H2, I give H3029 thanks H3029 and praise H7624,
For You have given H3052 me wisdom H2452 and power H1370;
Even now H3705 You have made H3046 known H3046 to me what H1768 we requested H1156 of You,
For You have made H3046 known H3046 to us the king’s H4430 matter H4406.”
24 Thereupon H6903 H1836, Daniel H1841 went H5954 to Arioch H746, whom H1768 the king H4430 had appointed H4483 to kill H7 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895; he went H236 and said H560 this H3652 to him: “Do not kill H7 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895! Take H5954 me [fn]into the king’s H4430 presence H6925, and I will declare H2324 the interpretation H6591 to the king H4430.”
25 Then H116 Arioch H746 hurriedly H927 brought H5954 Daniel H1841 [fn]into the king’s H4430 presence H6925 and spoke H560 to him as H3652 follows H3652: “I have found H7912 a man H1400 among H4481 the [fn]exiles H1123 H1547 from Judah H3061 who H1768 can make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to the king H4430!” 26 The king H4430 said H560 to Daniel H1841, whose H1768 name H8036 was Belteshazzar H1096, “Are you able H3546 to make H3046 known H3046 to me the dream H2493 which H1768 I have seen H2370 and its interpretation H6591?” 27 Daniel H1841 answered H6032 before H6925 the king H4430 and said H560, “As for the secret H7328 about which H1768 the king H4430 has inquired H7593, neither H3809 wise H2445 men H2445, sorcerers H826, soothsayer H2749 priests H2749, nor diviners H1505 are able H3202 to declare H2324 it to the king H4430. 28 However H1297, there H383 is H383 a God H426 in heaven H8065 who H1768 reveals H1541 secrets H7328, and He has made H3046 known H3046 to King H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 what H4101 will take H1934 place H1934 in the [fn]latter H320 days H3118. This H1836 was your dream H2493 and the visions H2376 [fn]in your mind H7217 while on your bed H4903. 29 As for you, O king H4430, while on your bed H4903 your thoughts H7476 [fn]turned H5559 to what H4101 would take H1934 place H1934 [fn]in the future H311; and He who reveals H1541 secrets H7328 has made H3046 known H3046 to you what H4101 will take H1934 place H1934. 30 But as for me, this H1836 secret H7328 has not been revealed H1541 to me [fn]for any wisdom H2452 [fn]residing H383 in me more H4481 than H4481 in any H3606 other living H2417 person H2417, but for the purpose H1701 of making H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to the king H4430, and that you may understand H3046 the thoughts H7476 of your [fn]mind H3825.
The King’s Dream
31 “You, O king H4430, were watching H2370 and behold H431, there was a single H2298 great H7690 statue H6755; that statue H6755, which was large H7229 and [fn]of extraordinary H3493 radiance H2122, was standing H6966 in front H6903 of you, and its appearance H7299 was [fn]awesome H1763.
32 The head H7217 of that statue H6755 was made of fine H2869 gold H1722, its chest H2306 and its arms H1872 of silver H3702, its belly H4577 and its thighs H3410 of bronze H5174, 33 its legs H8243 of iron H6523, and its feet H7271 partly H4481 of iron H6523 and partly H4481 of clay H2635. 34 You [fn]continued H1934 watching H2370 until H5705 H1768 a stone H69 was broken H1505 off without H3809 hands H3028, and it struck H4223 the statue H6755 on its feet H7271 of iron H6523 and clay H2635, and crushed H1855 them. 35 Then H116 the iron H6523, the clay H2635, the bronze H5174, the silver H3702, and the gold H1722 were crushed H1855 to H1855 pieces H1855 [fn]all H3606 at the same H2298 time H2298, and they were like chaff H5784 from the summer H7007 threshing H147 floors H147; and the wind H7308 carried H5376 them away so that not a trace H870 of them was found H7912. But the stone H69 that struck H4223 the statue H6755 became H1934 a great H7229 mountain H2906 and filled H4391 the entire H3606 earth H772.
The Interpretation—Babylon the First Kingdom
36 “This H1836 was the dream H2493; and now we will tell H560 its interpretation H6591 before H6925 the king H4430.
37 You, O king H4430, are the king H4430 of kings H4430, to whom H1768 the God H426 of heaven H8065 has given H3052 the [fn]kingdom H4437, the power H2632, the strength H8632, and the honor H3367; 38 and wherever H3606 H1768 the sons H1123 of mankind H606 live H1753, or the animals H2423 of the field H1251, or the birds H5776 of the sky H8065, He has handed H3052 H3028 them over H3052 to you and has made you ruler H7981 over them all H3606. You are the head H7217 of gold H1722.
Medo-Persia and Greece
39 And after H892 you another H321 kingdom H4437 will arise H6966 inferior H772 to you, then another H321 third H8523 kingdom H4437 of bronze H5174, which H1768 will rule H7981 over all H3606 the earth H772.
Rome
40 Then there will be a fourth H7244 kingdom H4437 as strong H8624 as iron H6523; just H6903 H1768 as iron H6523 smashes H1855 and crushes H2827 everything H3606, so, like iron H6523 that crushes H7490, it will smash H1855 and crush H7490 all H3606 these H459 things. 41 And in that you saw H2370 the feet H7271 and toes H677, partly H4481 of potter’s H6353 clay H2635 and partly H4481 of iron H6523, it will be a divided H6386 kingdom H4437; but it will have H1934 within it some H4481 of the toughness H5326 of iron H6523, since H6903 H1768 you saw H2370 the iron H6523 mixed H6151 with [fn]common H2917 clay H2635. 42 And just as the toes H677 of the feet H7271 were partly H4481 of iron H6523 and partly H4481 of pottery H2635, so some H4481 H7118 of the kingdom H4437 will be strong H8624, and part H4481 of it will be fragile H8406. 43 In that you saw H2370 the iron H6523 mixed H6151 with [fn]common H2917 clay H2635, they will combine H6151 with one another [fn]in [fn]their descendants H2234; but they will not adhere H1693 to one H1836 H5974 another H1836 H5974, just H1888 as iron H6523 does not combine H6151 with pottery H2635.
The Divine Kingdom
44 And in the days H3118 of those H581 kings H4430 the God H426 of heaven H8065 will set H6966 up H6966 a kingdom H4437 which H1768 will never H5957 H3809 be destroyed H2255, and that kingdom H4437 will not be H7662 [fn]left H7662 for another H312 people H5972; it will crush H1855 and put H5487 an H5487 end H5487 to H5487 all H3606 these H459 kingdoms H4437, but it will itself H1932 endure H6966 forever H5957. 45 Just H6903 H1768 as you saw H2370 that a stone H69 was broken H1505 off from the mountain H2906 without H3809 hands H3028, and that it crushed H1855 the iron H6523, the bronze H5174, the clay H2635, the silver H3702, and the gold H1722, the great H7229 God H426 has made H3046 known H3046 to the king H4430 what H4101 will take H1934 place H1934 [fn]in the future H311; so the dream H2493 is certain H3330 and its interpretation H6591 is trustworthy H540.”
Daniel Promoted
46 Then H116 King H4430 Nebuchadnezzar H5020 fell H5308 on his face H600 and paid H5457 humble H5457 respect H5457 to Daniel H1841, and gave H560 orders H560 to present H5260 to him an offering H4504 and incense H5208.
47 The king H4430 responded H6032 to Daniel H1841 and said H560, “Your God H426 truly H4481 H7187 H1768 is a God H426 of gods H426 and a Lord H4756 of kings H4430 and a revealer H1541 of secrets H7328, since H1768 you have been H3202 able H3202 to reveal H1541 this H1836 secret H7328.” 48 Then H116 the king H4430 [fn]promoted H7236 Daniel H1841 and gave H3052 him many H7690 great H7229 gifts H4978, and he made H7981 him ruler H7981 over H5922 the entire H3606 province H4083 of Babylon H895, and chief H7229 [fn]prefect H5460 over H5922 all H3606 the wise H2445 men H2445 of Babylon H895. 49 And Daniel H1841 made H1156 a H1156 request H1156 of the king H4430, and he appointed H4483 Shadrach H7715, Meshach H4336, and Abed-nego H5665 over H5922 the administration H5673 of the province H4083 of Babylon H895, while Daniel H1841 was at the king’s H4430 [fn]court H8651.
