 : 1 .  In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > came <0935 bow> > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > king <4428 melek > of Babylon <0894 Babel > unto Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and besieged <6696 tsuwr > it .

 : 2 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > gave <5414 nathan > Jehoiakim <3079 Y@howyaqiym > king <4428 melek > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > into his hand <3027 yad > ,  with part <7117 q@tsath > of the vessels <3627 k@liy > of the house <1004 bayith > of God <0430 >elohiym > : which he carried <0935 bow> > into the land <0776 >erets > of Shinar <8152 Shin<ar > to the house <1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym > ;  and he brought <0935 bow> > the vessels <3627 k@liy > into the treasure <0214 >owtsar > house <1004 bayith > of his god <0430 >elohiym > .

 : 3 And the king <4428 melek > spake <0559 >amar > unto Ashpenaz <0828 >Ashp@naz > the master <7227 rab > of his eunuchs <5631 cariyc > ,  that he should bring <0935 bow> >  [ certain ]  of the children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and of the king s <4410 m@luwkah > seed <2233 zera< > ,  and of the princes <6579 partam > ;

 : 4 Children <3206 yeled > in whom  [ was ]  no <0369 >ayin > blemish <3971 m>uwm > ,  but well <2896 towb > favoured <4758 mar>eh > ,  and skilful <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,  and cunning <3045 yada< > in knowledge <1847 da<ath > ,  and understanding <0995 biyn > science <4093 madda< > ,  and such as  [ had ]  ability <3581 koach > in them to stand <5975 <amad > in the king s <4428 melek > palace <1964 heykal > ,  and whom they might teach <3925 lamad > the learning <5612 cepher > and the tongue <3956 lashown > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > .

 : 5 And the king <4428 melek > appointed <4487 manah > them a daily <3117 yowm > provision <1697 dabar > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > ,  and of the wine <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh > : so nourishing <1431 gadal > them three <7969 shalowsh > years <8141 shaneh > ,  that at the end <7117 q@tsath > thereof they might stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

 : 6 Now among these <1992 hem > were of the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,  Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > ,  and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > :

 : 7 Unto whom <1992 hem > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > gave <7760 suwm > names <8034 shem > : for he gave <7760 suwm > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l >  [ the name <8034 shem > ]  of Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar > ;  and to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,  of Shadrach <7714 Shadrak > ;  and to Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > ,  of Meshach <4335 Meyshak > ;  and to Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > ,  of Abednego <5664 <Abed N@gow > .

 : 8 .  But Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > purposed <7760 suwm > in his heart <3820 leb > that he would not defile <1351 ga>al > himself with the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > ,  nor with the wine <3196 yayin > which he drank <4960 mishteh > : therefore he requested <1245 baqash > of the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > that he might not defile <1351 ga>al > himself .

 : 9 Now God <0430 >elohiym > had brought <5414 nathan > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > into favour <2617 checed > and tender love with the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > .

 : 10 And the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > said <0559 >amar > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  I fear <3373 yare> > my lord <0113 >adown > the king <4428 melek > ,  who <0834 >aher > hath appointed <4487 manah > your meat <3978 ma>akal > and your drink <4960 mishteh > : for why <4100 mah > should he see <7200 ra>ah > your faces <6440 paniym > worse <2196 za<aph > liking than <4480 min > the children <3206 yeled > which <0834 >aher >  [ are ]  of your sort <1524 giyl > ?  then shall ye make  [ me ]  endanger <2325 chuwb > my head <7218 ro>sh > to the king <4428 melek > .

 : 11 Then said <0559 >amar > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > to Melzar <4453 meltsar > ,  whom <0834 >aher > the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > had set <4487 manah > over <5921 <al > Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,  Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > ,  and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > ,

 : 12 Prove <5254 nacah > thy servants <5650 <ebed > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,  ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > ;  and let them give <5414 nathan > us pulse <2235 zeroa< > to eat <0398 >akal > ,  and water <4325 mayim > to drink <8354 shathah > .

 : 13 Then let our countenances <4758 mar>eh > be looked <7200 ra>ah > upon before <6440 paniym > thee ,  and the countenance <4758 mar>eh > of the children <3206 yeled > that eat <0398 >akal > of the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > : and as thou seest <7200 ra>ah > ,  deal <6213 <asah > with thy servants <5650 <ebed > .

 : 14 So he consented <8085 shama< > to them in this <2088 zeh > matter <1697 dabar > ,  and proved <5254 nacah > them ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > .

 : 15 And at the end <7117 q@tsath > of ten <6235 <eser > days <3117 yowm > their countenances <4758 mar>eh > appeared <7200 ra>ah > fairer <2896 towb > and fatter <1277 bariy> > in flesh <1320 basar > than <4480 min > all <3605 kol > the children <3206 yeled > which did eat <0398 >akal > the portion <6598 pathbag > of the king s <4428 melek > meat <6598 pathbag > .

 : 16 Thus Melzar <4453 meltsar > took <5375 nasa> > away the portion <6598 pathbag > of their meat <6598 pathbag > ,  and the wine <3196 yayin > that they should drink <4960 mishteh > ;  and gave <5414 nathan > them pulse <2235 zeroa< > .

 : 17 .  As for these <0428 >el - leh > four <0702 >arba< > children <3206 yeled > ,  God <0430 >elohiym > gave <5414 nathan > them knowledge <4093 madda< > and skill <7919 sakal > in all <3605 kol > learning <5612 cepher > and wisdom <2451 chokmah > : and Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > had understanding <0995 biyn > in all <3605 kol > visions <2377 chazown > and dreams <2472 chalowm > .

 : 18 Now at the end <7117 q@tsath > of the days <3117 yowm > that the king <4428 melek > had said <0559 >amar > he should bring <0935 bow> > them in ,  then the prince <8269 sar > of the eunuchs <5631 cariyc > brought <0935 bow> > them in before <6440 paniym > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > .

 : 19 And the king <4428 melek > communed <1696 dabar > with them ;  and among them all <3605 kol > was found <4672 matsa> > none <3808 lo> > like Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,  Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > ,  and Azariah <5838 <Azaryah > : therefore stood <5975 <amad > they before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

 : 20 And in all <3605 kol > matters <1697 dabar > of wisdom <2451 chokmah >  [ and ]  understanding <0998 biynah > ,  that the king <4428 melek > enquired <1245 baqash > of them ,  he found <4672 matsa> > them ten <6235 <eser > times better <3027 yad > than <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the magicians <2748 chartom >  [ and ]  astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > that  [ were ]  in all <3605 kol > his realm <4438 malkuwth > .

 : 21 And Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > continued <1961 hayah >  [ even ]  unto the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of king <4428 melek > Cyrus <3566 Kowresh > .

 : Daniel 2

 : 1 .  And in the second <8147 sh@nayim > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > Nebuchadnezzar <5019 N@buwkadne>tstsar > dreamed <2492 chalam > dreams <2472 chalowm > ,  wherewith his spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > ,  and his sleep <8142 shehah > brake <1961 hayah > from him .

 : 2 Then the king <4428 melek > commanded <0559 >amar > to call <7121 qara> > the magicians <2748 chartom > ,  and the astrologers <0825 >ashshaph > ,  and the sorcerers <3784 kashaph > ,  and the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ,  for to shew <5046 nagad > the king <4428 melek > his dreams <2472 chalowm > .  So they came <0935 bow> > and stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the king <4428 melek > .

 : 3 And the king <4428 melek > said <0559 >amar > unto them ,  I have dreamed <2492 chalam > a dream <2472 chalowm > ,  and my spirit <7307 ruwach > was troubled <6470 pa<am > to know <3045 yada< > the dream <2472 chalowm > .

 : 4 Then spake <1696 dabar > the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > to the king <4428 melek > in Syriack <0762 >Aramiyth > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  live <2418 chaya> > for ever <5957 <alam > : tell <0560 >amar > thy servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem > ,  and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

 : 5 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ,  The thing <4406 millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me : if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > ,  with the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ,  ye shall be cut <5648 <abad > in pieces <1917 haddam > ,  and your houses <1005 bayith > shall be made <7761 suwm > a dunghill <5122 n@valuw > .

 : 6 But if <2006 hen > ye shew <2324 chava> > the dream <2493 chelem > ,  and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ,  ye shall receive <6902 q@bal > of me gifts <4978 matt@na> > and rewards <5023 n@bizbah > and great <7690 saggiy> > honour <3367 y@qar > : therefore <2006 hen > shew <2324 chava> > me the dream <2493 chelem > ,  and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

 : 7 They answered <6032 <anah > again <8579 tinyanuwth > and said <0560 >amar > ,  Let the king <4430 melek > tell <0560 >amar > his servants <5649 <abad > the dream <2493 chelem > ,  and we will shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of it .

 : 8 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  I know <3046 y@da< > of certainty <3330 yatstsiyb > that ye would gain <2084 z@ban > the time <5732 <iddan > ,  because ye see <2370 chaza> > the thing <4406 millah > is gone <0230 >azad > from me .

 : 9 But if <2006 hen > ye will not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > ,   [ there is but ]  one <2298 chad > decree <1882 dath > for you : for ye have prepared <2164 z@man > lying <3538 k@dab > and corrupt <7844 sh@chath > words <4406 millah > to speak <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > me ,  till <5704 <ad > the time <5732 <iddan > be changed <8133 sh@na> > : therefore <2006 hen > tell <0560 >amar > me the dream <2493 chelem > ,  and I shall know <3046 y@da< > that ye can shew <2324 chava> > me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

 : 10 The Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > answered <6032 <anah > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  There is not a man <0606 >enash > upon the earth <3007 yabbesheth > that can <3202 y@kel > shew <2324 chava> > the king s <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah > : therefore  [ there is ]  no king <4430 melek > ,  lord <7229 rab > ,  nor ruler <7990 shalliyt > ,   [ that ]  asked <7593 sh@>el > such <1836 den > things at any <3606 kol > magician <2749 chartom > ,  or astrologer <0826 >ashshaph > ,  or Chaldean <3777 Kesed > .

 : 11 And  [ it is ]  a rare <3358 yaqqiyr > thing <4406 millah > that the king<4430 melek > requireth <7593 sh@>el > ,  and there is none <3809 la> > other <0321 >ochoran > that can shew <2324 chava> > it before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,  except <3861 lawhen > the gods <0426 >elahh > ,  whose <1768 diy > dwelling <4070 m@dowr > is not with flesh <1321 b@sar > .

 : 12 For this <1836 den > cause the king <4430 melek > was angry <1149 b@nac > and very <7690 saggiy> > furious <7108 q@tsaph > ,  and commanded <0560 >amar > to destroy <7> all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

 : 13 And the decree <1882 dath > went <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > that the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  should be slain <6992 q@tal > ;  and they sought <1158 ba<ah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > to be slain <6992 q@tal > .

 : 14 .  Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <8421 tuwb > with counsel <5843 <eta> > and wisdom <2942 t@<em > to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the captain <7229 rab > of the king s <4430 melek > guard <2877 tabbach > ,  which <1768 diy > was gone <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > to slay <6992 q@tal > the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > :

 : 15 He answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > the king s <4430 melek > captain <7990 shalliyt > ,  Why  [ is ]  the decree <1882 dath >  [ so ]  hasty <2685 chatsaph > from the king <4430 melek > ?  Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > .

 : 16 Then Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in ,  and desired <1156 b@<a> > of the king <4430 melek > that he would give <5415 n@than > him time <2166 z@man > ,  and that he would shew <2324 chava> > the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

 : 17 Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <0236 >azal > to his house <1005 bayith > ,  and made the thing <4406 millah > known <3046 y@da< > to Hananiah <2608 Chananyah > ,  Mishael <4332 Miysha>el > ,  and Azariah <5839 <Azaryah > ,  his companions <2269 chabar > :

 : 18 That they would desire <1156 b@<a> > mercies <7359 r@chem > of the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > concerning <5922 <al > this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > ;  that Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > and his fellows <2269 chabar > should not perish <7> with the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

 : 19 Then <0116 >edayin > was the secret <7328 raz > revealed <1541 g@lah > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > in a night <3916 leyl@ya> > vision <2376 chezev > .  Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > blessed <1289 b@rak > the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > .

 : 20 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  Blessed <1289 b@rak > be the name <8036 shum > of God <0426 >elahh > for ever <5957 <alam > and ever <5957 <alam > : for wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah > are his :

 : 21 And he changeth <8133 sh@na> > the times <5732 <iddan > and the seasons <2166 z@man > : he removeth <5709 <ada> > kings <4430 melek > ,  and setteth <6966 quwm > up kings <4430 melek > : he giveth <3052 y@hab > wisdom <2452 chokmah > unto the wise <2445 chakkiym > ,  and knowledge <0998 biynah > to them that know <3046 y@da< > understanding <0999 biynah > :

 : 22 He revealeth <1541 g@lah > the deep <5994 <amiyq > and secret <5642 c@thar > things : he knoweth <3046 y@da< > what <4101 mah >  [ is ]  in the darkness <2816 chashowk > ,  and the light <5094 n@hiyr > dwelleth <8271 sh@re> > with him .

 : 23 I thank <3029 y@da> > thee ,  and praise <7624 sh@bach > thee ,  O thou God <0426 >elahh > of my fathers <2> ,  who <1768 diy > hast given <3052 y@hab > me wisdom <2452 chokmah > and might <1370 g@buwrah > ,  and hast made known <3046 y@da< > unto me now <3705 k@<an > what <1768 diy > we desired <1156 b@<a> > of thee : for thou hast  [ now <3705 k@<an > ]  made known <3046 y@da< > unto us the king s <4430 melek > matter <4406 millah > .

 : 24 .  Therefore Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > went <5954 <alal > in unto Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > ,  whom <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > had ordained <4483 m@na> > to destroy <7> the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > : he went <0236 >azal > and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him ;  Destroy <7> not the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > : bring <5924 <ella> > me in before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,  and I will shew <2324 chava> > unto the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

 : 25 Then <0116 >edayin > Arioch <0746 >Aryowk > brought <5954 <alal > in Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > in haste <0927 b@hal > ,  and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto him ,  I have found <4672 matsa> > a man <1400 g@bar > of the captives of Judah <3061 Y@huwd > ,  that will make known <3046 y@da< > unto the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

 : 26 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum >  [ was ]  Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > ,  Art <0383 >iythay > thou able <3546 k@hal > to make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the dream <2493 chelem > which <1768 diy > I have seen <2370 chaza> > ,  and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ?

 : 27 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > in the presence <6925 qodam > of the king <4430 melek > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  The secret <7328 raz > which <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > hath demanded <7593 sh@>el > cannot the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  ,  the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > ,  the magicians <2749 chartom > ,  the soothsayers <1505 g@zar > ,  shew <2324 chava> > unto the king <4430 melek > ;

 : 28 But there is a God <0426 >elahh > in heaven <8065 shamayin > that revealeth <1541 g@lah > secrets <7328 raz > ,  and maketh known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > what <4101 mah > shall be in the latter <0320 >achariyth > days <3118 yowm > .  Thy dream <2493 chelem > ,  and the visions <2376 chezev > of thy head <7217 re>sh > upon thy bed <4903 mishkab > ,  are these <1836 den > ;

 : 29 As for thee ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  thy thoughts <7476 ra<yown > came <5559 c@liq >  [ into thy mind ]  upon thy bed <4903 mishkab > ,  what <4101 mah > should come <1934 hava> > to pass hereafter : and he that revealeth <1541 g@lah > secrets <7328 raz > maketh known <3046 y@da< > to thee what <4101 mah > shall come <1934 hava> > to pass .

 : 30 But as for me ,  this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > is not revealed <1541 g@lah > to me for  [ any ]  wisdom <2452 chokmah > that I have <0383 >iythay > more <4481 min > than <4481 min > any <3606 kol > living <2417 chay > ,  but for  [ their ]  sakes <1701 dibrah > that shall make known <3046 y@da< > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > to the king <4430 melek > ,  and that thou mightest know <3046 y@da< > the thoughts <7476 ra<yown > of thy heart <3825 l@bab > .

 : 31 .  Thou ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  sawest <2370 chaza> > ,  and behold <0431 >aluw > a great <7690 saggiy> > image <6755 tselem > .  This <1797 dikken > great <7229 rab > image <6755 tselem > ,  whose brightness <2122 ziyv >  [ was ]  excellent <3493 yattiyr > ,  stood <6966 quwm > before <6903 q@bel > thee ;  and the form <7299 rev > thereof  [ was ]  terrible <1763 d@chal > .

 : 32 This <1931 huw> > image s <6755 tselem > head <7217 re>sh >  [ was ]  of fine <2869 tab > gold <1722 d@hab > ,  his breast <2306 chadiy > and his arms <1672 da>ag > of silver <3702 k@caph > ,  his belly <4577 m@<ah > and his thighs <3410 yarka> > of brass <5174 n@chash > ,

 : 33 His legs <8243 shaq > of iron <6523 parzel > ,  his feet <7271 r@gal > part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > and part <4481 min > of clay <2635 chacaph > .

 : 34 Thou sawest <2370 chaza> > till <5704 <ad > that a stone <69> was cut <1505 g@zar > out without hands <3028 yad > ,  which smote <4223 m@cha> > the image <6755 tselem > upon his feet <7271 r@gal >  [ that were ]  of iron <6523 parzel > and clay <2635 chacaph > ,  and brake <1855 d@qaq > them to pieces .

 : 35 Then <0116 >edayin > was the iron <6523 parzel > ,  the clay <2635 chacaph > ,  the brass <5174 n@chash > ,  the silver <3702 k@caph > ,  and the gold <1722 d@hab > ,  broken <1854 daqaq > to pieces together <2298 chad > ,  and became <1934 hava> > like the chaff <5784 <uwr > of the summer <7007 qayit > threshingfloors <0147 >iddar > ;  and the wind <7308 ruwach > carried <5376 n@sa> > them away ,  that no place <0870 >athar > was found <7912 sh@kach > for them : and the stone <69> that smote <4223 m@cha> > the image <6755 tselem > became <1934 hava> > a great <7229 rab > mountain <2906 tuwr > ,  and filled <4391 m@la> > the whole <3606 kol > earth <0772 >ara< > .

 : 36 This <1836 den >  [ is ]  the dream <2493 chelem > ;  and we will tell <0560 >amar > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > .

 : 37 Thou ,  O king <4430 melek > ,   [ art ]  a king <4430 melek > of kings <4430 melek > : for the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > hath given <3052 y@hab > thee a kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  power <2632 checen > ,  and strength <8632 t@qoph > ,  and glory <3367 y@qar > .

 : 38 And wheresoever the children <1123 ben > of men <0606 >enash > dwell <1753 duwr > ,  the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > and the fowls <5776 <owph > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > hath he given <3052 y@hab > into thine hand <3028 yad > ,  and hath made thee ruler <7981 sh@let > over them all <3606 kol > .  Thou  [ art ]  this <1931 huw> > head <7217 re>sh > of gold <1722 d@hab > .

 : 39 And after <0870 >athar > thee shall arise <6965 quwm > another <0317 >ochoriy > kingdom <4437 malkuw > inferior <0772 >ara< > to thee ,  and another <0317 >ochoriy > third <8523 t@liythay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > of brass <5174 n@chash > ,  which <1768 diy > shall bear <7981 sh@let > rule <7981 sh@let > over all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > .

 : 40 And the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be strong <8624 taqqiyph > as iron <6523 parzel > : forasmuch as iron <6523 parzel > breaketh <1855 d@qaq > in pieces and subdueth <2827 chashal > all <3606 kol >  [ things ]  : and as iron <6523 parzel > that breaketh <7940 Sakar > all <3606 kol > these <0459 >illeyn > ,  shall it break <1854 daqaq > in pieces and bruise <7490 r@<a< > .

 : 41 And whereas <1768 diy > thou sawest <2370 chaza> > the feet <7271 r@gal > and toes <0677 >etsba< > ,  part <4481 min > of potters <6353 pechar >  clay <2635 chacaph > ,  and part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > ,  the kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be divided <6386 p@lag > ;  but there shall be in it of the strength <5326 nitsbah > of the iron <6523 parzel > ,  forasmuch as thou sawest <2370 chaza> > the iron <6523 parzel > mixed <6151 <arab > with miry <2917 tiyn > clay <2635 chacaph > .

 : 42 And  [ as ]  the toes <0677 >etsba< > of the feet <7271 r@gal >  [ were ]  part <4481 min > of iron <6523 parzel > ,  and part <4481 min > of clay <2635 chacaph > ,   [ so ]  the kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be partly <7118 q@tsath > strong <8624 taqqiyph > ,  and partly <7118 q@tsath > broken <8406 t@bar > .

 : 43 And whereas <1768 diy > thou sawest <2370 chaza> > iron <6523 parzel > mixed <6151 <arab > with miry <2917 tiyn > clay <2635 chacaph > ,  they shall mingle <6151 <arab > themselves with the seed <2234 z@ra< > of men <0606 >enash > : but they shall not cleave <1693 d@baq > one <1836 den > to another <1836 den > ,  even <1887 he> > as iron <6523 parzel > is not mixed <6151 <arab > with clay <2635 chacaph > .

 : 44 And in the days <3118 yowm > of these <0581 >innuwn > kings <4430 melek > shall the God <0426 >elahh > of heaven <8065 shamayin > set <6966 quwm > up a kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  which <1768 diy > shall never be destroyed <2255 chabal > : and the kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall not be left <7662 sh@baq > to other <0321 >ochoran > people <5972 <am > ,   [ but ]  it shall break <1854 daqaq > in pieces and consume <5487 cuwph > all <3606 kol > these <0459 >illeyn > kingdoms <4437 malkuw > ,  and it shall stand <6966 quwm > for ever <5957 <alam > .

 : 45 Forasmuch as thou sawest <2370 chaza> > that the stone <69> was cut <1505 g@zar > out of the mountain <2906 tuwr > without hands <3028 yad > ,  and that it brake <1855 d@qaq > in pieces the iron <6523 parzel > ,  the brass <5174 n@chash > ,  the clay <2635 chacaph > ,  the silver <3702 k@caph > ,  and the gold <1722 d@hab > ;  the great <7229 rab > God <0426 >elahh > hath made known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > what <4101 mah > shall come <1934 hava> > to pass hereafter : and the dream <2493 chelem >  [ is ]  certain <3330 yatstsiyb > ,  and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof sure <0546 >omnah > .

 : 46 .  Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > fell <5308 n@phal > upon his face <0600 >anaph > ,  and worshipped <5457 c@gid > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  and commanded <0560 >amar > that they should offer <5260 n@cak > an oblation <8641 t@ruwmah > and sweet <5208 niychowach > odours <5208 niychowach > unto him .

 : 47 The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  Of a truth <7187 q@showt >  [ it is ]  ,  that your God <0426 >elahh >  [ is ]  a God <0426 >elahh > of gods <0426 >elahh > ,  and a Lord <4756 mare> > of kings <4430 melek > ,  and a revealer <1541 g@lah > of secrets <7328 raz > ,  seeing <1768 diy > thou couldest <3202 y@kel > reveal <1541 g@lah > this <1836 den > secret <7328 raz > .

 : 48 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > made <7236 r@bah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > a great <7236 r@bah > man ,  and gave <3052 y@hab > him many <7690 saggiy> > great <7260 rabrab > gifts <4978 matt@na> > ,  and made him ruler <7981 sh@let > over <5922 <al > the whole <3606 kol > province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > ,  and chief <7229 rab > of the governors <5461 cagan > over <5922 <al > all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

 : 49 Then Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > requested <1156 b@<a> > of the king <4430 melek > ,  and he set <4483 m@na> > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  over <5922 <al > the affairs <5673 <abiydah > of the province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > : but Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >  [ sat ]  in the gate <8651 t@ra< > of the king <4430 melek > .

 : Daniel 3

 : 1 .  Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > made <5648 <abad > an image <6755 tselem > of gold <1722 d@hab > ,  whose <1768 diy > height <7314 ruwm >  [ was ]  threescore <8361 shittiyn > cubits <0521 >ammah > ,   [ and ]  the breadth <6613 p@thay > thereof six <8353 sheth > cubits <0521 >ammah > : he set <6966 quwm > it up in the plain <1236 biq<a> > of Dura <1757 Duwra> > ,  in the province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

 : 2 Then Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > sent <7972 sh@lach > to gather <3673 kanash > together the princes <0324 >achashdarpan > ,  the governors <5461 cagan > ,  and the captains <6347 pechah > ,  the judges <0148 >adargazer > ,  the treasurers <1411 g@dabar > ,  the counsellors <1884 d@thabar > ,  the sheriffs <8614 tiphtay > ,  and all <3606 kol > the rulers <7984 shiltown > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,  to come <0858 >athah > to the dedication <2597 chanukka> > of the image <6755 tselem > which <1768 diy > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > had set <6966 quwm > up .

 : 3 Then <0116 >edayin > the princes <0324 >achashdarpan > ,  the governors <5461 cagan > ,  and captains <6347 pechah > ,  the judges <0148 >adargazer > ,  the treasurers <1411 g@dabar > ,  the counsellors <1884 d@thabar > ,  the sheriffs <8614 tiphtay > ,  and all <3606 kol > the rulers <7984 shiltown > of the provinces <4082 m@diynah > ,  were gathered <3673 kanash > together unto the dedication <2597 chanukka> > of the image <6755 tselem > that Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > had set <6966 quwm > up ;  and they stood <6966 quwm > before <6903 q@bel > the image <6755 tselem > that Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > had set <6966 quwm > up .

 : 4 Then an herald <3744 karowz > cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil > ,  To you it is commanded <0560 >amar > ,  O people <5972 <am > ,  nations <0524 >ummah > ,  and languages <3961 lishshan > ,

 : 5  [ That ]  at what <1768 diy > time <5732 <iddan > ye hear <8086 sh@ma< > the sound <7032 qal > of the cornet <7162 qeren > ,  flute <4953 mashrowqiy > ,  harp <7030 qiytharoc > ,  sackbut <5443 cabb@ka> > ,  psaltery <6460 p@canteriyn > ,  dulcimer <5481 cuwmpown@yah > ,  and all <3606 kol > kinds <2177 zan > of musick <2170 z@mar > ,  ye fall <5308 n@phal > down and worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > that Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > hath set <6966 quwm > up :

 : 6 And whoso falleth <5308 n@phal > not down and worshippeth <5457 c@gid > shall the same hour <8160 sha<ah > be cast <7412 r@mah > into the midst <1459 gav > of a burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > .

 : 7 Therefore at that time <2166 z@man > ,  when <1768 diy > all <3606 kol > thepeople <5972 <am > heard <8086 sh@ma< > the sound <7032 qal > of the cornet <7162 qeren > ,  flute <4953 mashrowqiy > ,  harp <7030 qiytharoc > ,  sackbut <5443 cabb@ka> > ,  psaltery <6460 p@canteriyn > ,  and all <3606 kol > kinds <2177 zan > of musick <2170 z@mar > ,  all <3606 kol > the people <5972 <am > ,  the nations <0524 >ummah > ,  and the languages <3961 lishshan > ,  fell <5308 n@phal > down  [ and ]  worshipped <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > that Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > had set <6966 quwm > up .

 : 8 .  Wherefore at that time <2166 z@man > certain <1400 g@bar > Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > ,  and accused <7170 q@rats > the Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > .

 : 9 They spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  live <2418 chaya> > for ever <5957 <alam > .

 : 10 Thou ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  hast made <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@<em > ,  that every <3606 kol > man <0606 >enash > that shall hear <8086 sh@ma< > the sound <7032 qal > of the cornet <7162 qeren > ,  flute <4953 mashrowqiy > ,  harp <7030 qiytharoc > ,  sackbut <5443 cabb@ka> > ,  psaltery <6460 p@canteriyn > ,  and dulcimer <5481 cuwmpown@yah > ,  and all <3606 kol > kinds <2177 zan > of musick <2170 z@mar > ,  shall fall <5308 n@phal > down and worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > :

 : 12 There are certain <1400 g@bar > Jews <3064 Y@huwdiy > whom <3487 yath > thou hast set <4483 m@na> > over <5921 <al > the affairs <5673 <abiydah > of the province <4083 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > ,  Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ;  these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  have not regarded thee : they serve <6399 p@lach > not thy gods <0426 >elahh > ,  nor <3809 la> > worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > which <1768 diy > thou hast set <6966 quwm > up .

 : 13 Then <0116 >edayin > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > in  [ his ]  rage <7266 r@gaz > and fury <2528 chema> > commanded <0560 >amar > to bring <0858 >athah > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > .  Then <0116 >edayin > they brought <0858 >athah > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > .

 : 14 Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > unto them ,   [ Is it ]  true <6656 ts@da> > ,  O Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  do not ye serve <6399 p@lach > my gods <0426 >elahh > ,  nor <3809 la> > worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > which <1768 diy > I have set <6966 quwm > up ?

 : 15 Now <3705 k@<an > if <2006 hen > ye be ready <6263 <athiyd > that at what <1768 diy > time <5732 <iddan > ye hear <8086 sh@ma< > the sound <7032 qal > of the cornet <7162 qeren > ,  flute <4953 mashrowqiy > ,  harp <7030 qiytharoc > ,  sackbut <5443 cabb@ka> > ,  psaltery <6460 p@canteriyn > ,  and dulcimer <5481 cuwmpown@yah > ,  and all <3606 kol > kinds <2177 zan > of musick <2170 z@mar > ,  ye fall <5308 n@phal > down and worship <5457 c@gid > the image <6755 tselem > which <1768 diy > I have made <5648 <abad > ;   [ well ]  : but if <2006 hen > ye worship <5457 c@gid > not ,  ye shall be cast <7412 r@mah > the same hour <8160 sha<ah > into the midst <1459 gav > of a burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > ;  and who <4479 man >  [ is ]  that God <0426 >elahh > that shall deliver <7804 sh@zab > you out of my hands <3028 yad > ?

 : 16 Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to the king <4430 melek > ,  O Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > ,  we  [ are ]  not careful <2818 chashach > to answer <8421 tuwb > thee in this <1836 den > matter <6600 pithgam > .

 : 17 If <2006 hen > it be  [ so ]  ,  our God <0426 >elahh > whom <1768 diy > we serve <6399 p@lach > is able <3202 y@kel > to deliver <7804 sh@zab > us from the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > ,  and he will deliver <7804 sh@zab >  [ us ]  out of thine hand <3028 yad > ,  O king <4430 melek > .

 : 18 But if not ,  be it known <3046 y@da< > unto thee ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  that we will not serve <6399 p@lach > thy gods <0426 >elahh > ,  nor <3809 la> > worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755 tselem > which <1768 diy > thou hast set <6966 quwm > up .

 : 19 .  Then <0116 >edayin > was Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > full <4391 m@la> > of fury <2528 chema> > ,  and the form <6755 tselem > of his visage <0600 >anaph > was changed <8133 sh@na> > against <5922 <al > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > :  [ therefore ]  he spake <6032 <anah > ,  and commanded <0560 >amar > that they should heat <0228 >aza> > the furnace <0861 >attuwn > one <2298 chad > seven <7655 shib<ah > times more <5922 <al > than <1768 diy > it was wont <2370 chaza> > to be heated <0228 >aza> > .

 : 20 And he commanded <0560 >amar > the most <2429 chayil > mighty <1401 gibbar > men <1400 g@bar > that  [ were ]  in his army <2429 chayil > to bind <3729 k@phath > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,   [ and ]  to cast <7412 r@mah >  [ them ]  into the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > .

 : 21 Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > were bound <3729 k@phath > in their coats <5622 carbal > ,  their hosen <6361 pattiysh > ,  and their hats <3737 karb@la< > ,  and their  [ other ]  garments <3831 l@buwsh > ,  and were cast <7412 r@mah > into the midst <1459 gav > of the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > .

 : 22 Therefore because the king s <4430 melek > commandment <4406 millah > was urgent <2685 chatsaph > ,  and the furnace <0861 >attuwn > exceeding <2493 chelem > hot <0228 >aza> > ,  the flame <7631 s@biyb > of the fire <5135 nuwr > slew <6992 q@tal > those <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > that took <5267 n@caq > up Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > .

 : 23 And these <0479 >illek > three <8532 t@lath > men <1400 g@bar > ,  Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  fell <5308 n@phal > down bound <3729 k@phath > into the midst <1459 gav > of the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > .

 : 24 Then <0116 >edayin > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > was astonied <8429 t@vahh > ,  and rose <6965 quwm > up in haste <0927 b@hal > ,   [ and ]  spake <6032 <anah > ,  and said <0560 >amar > unto his counsellors <1907 haddabar > ,  Did not we cast <7412 r@mah > three <8532 t@lath > men <1400 g@bar > bound <3729 k@phath > into the midst <1459 gav > of the fire <5135 nuwr > ?  They answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > unto the king <4430 melek > ,  True <3330 yatstsiyb > ,  O king <4430 melek > .

 : 25 He answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  Lo <1888 he> > ,  I see <2370 chaza> > four <0703 >arba< > men <1400 g@bar > loose <8271 sh@re> > ,  walking <1981 halak > in the midst <1459 gav > of the fire <5135 nuwr > ,  and they have <0383 >iythay > no <3809 la> > hurt <2257 chabal > ;  and the form <7299 rev > of the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > is like <1821 d@mah > the Son <1247 bar > of God <0426 >elahh > .

 : 26 Then <0116 >edayin > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > to the mouth <8651 t@ra< > of the burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr > furnace <0861 >attuwn > ,   [ and ]  spake <6032 <anah > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  ye servants <5649 <abad > of the most <5943 <illay > high <5943 <illay > God <0426 >elahh > ,  come <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > ,  and come <0858 >athah >  [ hither ]  .  Then <0116 >edayin > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  came <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > of the midst <1459 gav > of the fire <5135 nuwr > .

 : 27 And the princes <0324 >achashdarpan > ,  governors <5461 cagan > ,  and captains <6347 pechah > ,  and the king s <4430 melek > counsellors <1907 haddabar > ,  being gathered <3673 kanash > together ,  saw <2370 chaza> > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > ,  upon whose <1768 diy > bodies <1655 geshem > the fire <5135 nuwr > had no <3809 la> > power <7981 sh@let > ,  nor <3809 la> > was an hair <8177 s@<ar > of their head <7217 re>sh > singed <2761 charak > ,  neither <3809 la> > were their coats <5622 carbal > changed <8133 sh@na> > ,  nor <3809 la> > the smell <7382 reyach > of fire <5135 nuwr > had passed <5709 <ada> > on them .

 : 28 .   [ Then ]  Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > spake <6032 <anah > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  Blessed <1289 b@rak >  [ be ]  the God <0426 >elahh > of Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  who <1768 diy > hath sent <7972 sh@lach > his angel <4398 mal>ak > ,  and delivered <7804 sh@zab > his servants <5649 <abad > that trusted <7365 r@chats > in him ,  and have changed <8133 sh@na> > the king s <4430 melek > word <4406 millah > ,  and yielded <3052 y@hab > their bodies <1655 geshem > ,  that they might not serve <6399 p@lach > nor <3809 la> > worship <5457 c@gid > any <3606 kol > god <0426 >elahh > ,  except <3861 lawhen > their own God <0426 >elahh > .

 : 29 Therefore I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@<em > ,  That every <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > ,  nation <0524 >ummah > ,  and language <3961 lishshan > ,  which <1768 diy > speak <0560 >amar > any thing amiss <7955 shalah > against <5922 <al > the God <0426 >elahh > of Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  shall be cut <5648 <abad > in pieces <1917 haddam > ,  and their houses <1005 bayith > shall be made <7739 sh@vah > a dunghill <5122 n@valuw > : because there is no <3809 la> > other <0321 >ochoran > God <0426 >elahh > that can <3202 y@kel > deliver <5338 n@tsal > after <1863 dardar > this <1836 den > sort .

 : 30 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > promoted <6744 ts@lach > Shadrach <7715 Shadrak > ,  Meshach <4336 Meyshak > ,  and Abednego <5665 <Abed N@gow> > ,  in the province <4082 m@diynah > of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

 : Daniel 4

 : 1 .  Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > the king <4430 melek > ,  unto all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > ,  nations <0524 >ummah > ,  and languages <3961 lishshan > ,  that dwell <1753 duwr > in all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > ;  Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680 s@ga> > unto you .

 : 2 I thought it good <8232 sh@phar > to shew <2324 chava> > the signs <0852 >ath > and wonders <8540 t@mahh > that the high <5943 <illay > God <0426 >elahh > hath wrought <5648 <abad > toward <5974 <im > me .

 : 3 How <4101 mah > great <7260 rabrab >  [ are ]  his signs <0852 >ath > !  and how <4101 mah > mighty <8624 taqqiyph >  [ are ]  his wonders <8540 t@mahh > !  his kingdom <4437 malkuw >  [ is ]  an everlasting <5957 <alam > kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  and his dominion <7985 sholtan >  [ is ]  from generation <1859 dar > to generation <1859 dar > .

 : 4 .  I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > was at rest <7954 sh@lah > in mine house <1005 bayith > ,  and flourishing <7487 ra<anan > in my palace <1965 heykal > :

 : 5 I saw <2370 chaza> > a dream <2493 chelem > which made me afraid <1763 d@chal > ,  and the thoughts <2031 harhor > upon my bed <4903 mishkab > and the visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > troubled <0927 b@hal > me .

 : 6 Therefore made <7761 suwm > I a decree <2942 t@<em > to bring <5924 <ella> > in all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > before <6925 qodam > me ,  that they might make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the dream <2493 chelem > .

 : 7 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in the magicians <2749 chartom > ,  the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > ,  the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ,  and the soothsayers <1505 g@zar > : and I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem > before <6925 qodam > them ;  but they did not make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

 : 8 But at <5706 <ad > the last <0318 >ochoreyn > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > came <5954 <alal > in before me ,  whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum >  [ was ]  Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > ,  according to the name <8036 shum > of my god <0426 >elahh > ,  and in whom <1768 diy >  [ is ]  the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > : and before <6925 qodam > him I told <0560 >amar > the dream <2493 chelem > ,   [ saying ]  ,

 : 9 O Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > ,  master <0729 >araz > of the magicians <2749 chartom > ,  because <1768 diy > I know <3046 y@da< > that the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh >  [ is ]  in thee ,  and no secret <7328 raz > troubleth <0598 >anac > thee ,  tell <0560 >amar > me the visions <2376 chezev > of my dream <2493 chelem > that I have seen <2370 chaza> > ,  and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

 : 10 Thus  [ were ]  the visions <2376 chezev > of mine head <7217 re>sh > in my bed <4903 mishkab > ;  I saw <2370 chaza> > ,  and behold <0431 >aluw > a tree <0363 >iylan > in the midst <1459 gav > of the earth <0772 >ara< > ,  and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof  [ was ]  great <7690 saggiy> > .

 : 11 The tree <0363 >iylan > grew <7236 r@bah > ,  and was strong <8631 t@qeph > ,  and the height <7314 ruwm > thereof reached <4291 m@ta> > unto heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and the sight <2379 chazowth > thereof to the end <5491 cowph > of all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > :

 : 12 The leaves <6074 <ophiy > thereof  [ were ]  fair <8509 takriyk > ,  and the fruit <4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> > ,  and in it  [ was ]  meat <4203 mazown > for all <3606 kol > : the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > had shadow <2927 t@lal > under <8460 t@chowth > it ,  and the fowls <6853 ts@phar > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > dwelt <1753 duwr > in the boughs <6056 <anaph > thereof ,  and all <3606 kol > flesh <1321 b@sar > was fed <2110 zuwn > of it .

 : 13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > upon my bed <4903 mishkab > ,  and ,  behold <0431 >aluw > ,  a watcher <5894 <iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one came <5182 n@chath > down <5182 n@chath > from heaven <8065 shamayin > ;

 : 14 He cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil > ,  and said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > ,  Hew <1414 g@dad > down the tree <0363 >iylan > ,  and cut <7113 q@tsats > off his branches <6056 <anaph > ,  shake <5426 n@ther > off <0575 >an > his leaves <6074 <ophiy > ,  and scatter <0921 b@dar > his fruit <4> : let the beasts <2423 cheyva> > get <5111 nuwd > away <5111 nuwd > from under <8478 tachath > it ,  and the fowls <6853 ts@phar > from his branches <6056 <anaph > :

 : 15 Nevertheless <1297 b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar >of his roots <8330 shoresh > in the earth <0772 >ara< > ,  even with a band <0613 >ecuwr > of iron <6523 parzel > and brass <5174 n@chash > ,  in the tender grass <1883 dethe> > of the field <1251 bar > ;  and let it be wet <6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and  [ let ]  his portion <2508 chalaq >  [ be ]  with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > in the grass <6211 <ash > of the earth <0772 >ara< > :

 : 16 Let his heart <3825 l@bab > be changed <8133 sh@na> > from man s <0606 >enash > ,  and let a beast s <2423 cheyva> > heart <3825 l@bab > be given <3052 y@hab > unto him ;  and let seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him .

 : 17 This matter <6600 pithgam >  [ is ]  by the decree <1510 g@zerah > of the watchers <5894 <iyr > ,  and the demand <7595 sh@>ela> > by the word <3983 me>mar > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > ones : to the intent <1701 dibrah > that the living <2417 chay > may know <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ruleth <7980 shalat > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 >enash > ,  and giveth <5415 n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> > ,  and setteth <6966 quwm > up over <5922 <al > it the basest <8215 sh@phal > of men <0606 >enash > .

 : 18 This <1836 den > dream <2493 chelem > I king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > have seen <2370 chaza> > .  Now thou ,  O Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > ,  declare <0560 >amar > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ,  forasmuch as all <3606 kol > the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of my kingdom <4437 malkuw > are not able <3202 y@kel > to make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > : but thou  [ art ]  able <3546 k@hal > ;  for the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh >  [ is ]  in thee .

 : 19 .  Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  whose <1768 diy > name <8036 shum >  [ was ]  Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > ,  was astonied <8075 sh@mam > for one <2298 chad > hour <8160 sha<ah > ,  and his thoughts <7476 ra<yown > troubled <0927 b@hal > him .  The king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > ,  let not the dream <2493 chelem > ,  or the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ,  trouble <0927 b@hal > thee .  Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  My lord <4756 mare> > ,  the dream <2493 chelem >  [ be ]  to them that hate <8131 s@ne> > thee ,  and the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof to thine enemies <6146 <ar > .

 : 20 The tree <0363 >iylan > that thou sawest <2370 chaza> > ,  which <1768 diy > grew <7236 r@bah > ,  and was strong <8631 t@qeph > ,  whose height <7314 ruwm > reached <4291 m@ta> > unto the heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and the sight <2379 chazowth > thereof to all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > ;

 : 21 Whose leaves <6074 <ophiy >  [ were ]  fair <8509 takriyk > ,  and the fruit <4> thereof much <7690 saggiy> > ,  and in it  [ was ]  meat <4203 mazown > for all <3606 kol > ;  under <8460 t@chowth > which the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > dwelt <1753 duwr > ,  and upon whose branches <6056 <anaph > the fowls <6853 ts@phar > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > had their habitation <7932 sh@kan > :

 : 22 It  [ is ]  thou ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  that art grown <7236 r@bah > and become <8631 t@qeph > strong <8631 t@qeph > : for thy greatness <7238 r@buw > is grown <7236 r@bah > ,  and reacheth <4291 m@ta> > unto heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and thy dominion <7985 sholtan > to the end <5491 cowph > of the earth <0772 >ara< > .

 : 23 And whereas <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > saw <2370 chaza> > a watcher <5894 <iyr > and an holy <6922 qaddiysh > one coming <5182 n@chath > down <5182 n@chath > from heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and saying <0560 >amar > ,  Hew <1414 g@dad > the tree <0363 >iylan > down ,  and destroy <2255 chabal > it ;  yet <1297 b@ram > leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar > of the roots <8330 shoresh > thereof in the earth <0772 >ara< > ,  even with a band <0613 >ecuwr > of iron <6523 parzel > and brass <5174 n@chash > ,  in the tender grass <1883 dethe> > of the field <1251 bar > ;  and let it be wet <6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and  [ let ]  his portion <2508 chalaq >  [ be ]  with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > ,  till <5704 <ad > seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > him ;

 : 24 This <1836 den >  [ is ]  the interpretation <6591 p@shar > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  and this <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  the decree <1510 g@zerah > of the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ,  which <1768 diy > is come <4291 m@ta> > upon my lord <4756 mare> > the king <4430 melek > :

 : 25 That they shall drive <2957 t@rad > thee from men <0606 >enash > ,  and thy dwelling <4070 m@dowr > shall be with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > ,  and they shall make thee to eat <2939 t@<am > grass <6211 <ash > as oxen <8450 towr > ,  and they shall wet <6647 ts@ba< > thee with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > shall pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > thee ,  till <5704 <ad > thou know <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High ruleth <7980 shalat > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 >enash > ,  and giveth <5415 n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> > .

 : 26 And whereas <1768 diy > they commanded <0560 >amar > to leave <7662 sh@baq > the stump <6136 <iqqar > of the tree <0363 >iylan > roots <8330 shoresh > ;  thy kingdom <4437 malkuw > shall be sure <7011 qayam > unto thee ,  after <1767 day > that thou shalt have known <3046 y@da< > that the heavens <8065 shamayin > do rule <7990 shalliyt > .

 : 27 Wherefore <3861 lawhen > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  let my counsel <4431 m@lak > be acceptable <8232 sh@phar > unto thee ,  and break <6562 p@raq > off thy sins <2408 chatiy > by righteousness <6665 tsidqah > ,  and thine iniquities <5758 <ivya> > by shewing mercy <2604 chanan > to the poor <6033 <anah > ;  if <2006 hen > it may be a lengthening <0754 >arka> > of thy tranquillity <7963 sh@levah > .

 : 28 .  All <3606 kol > this came <4291 m@ta> > upon the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > .

 : 29 At the end <7118 q@tsath > of twelve months <3393 y@rach > he walked <1981 halak > in the palace <1965 heykal > of the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of Babylon <0895 Babel > .

 : 30 The king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > ,  and said <0560 >amar > ,  Is not this <1668 da> > great <7227 rab > Babylon <0895 Babel > ,  that I have built <1124 b@na> > for the house <1005 bayith > of the kingdom <4437 malkuw > by the might <8632 t@qoph > of my power <2632 checen > ,  and for the honour <3367 y@qar > of my majesty <1923 hadar > ?

 : 31 While <5751 <owd > the word <4406 millah >  [ was ]  in the king s <4430 melek > mouth <6433 pum > ,  there fell <5308 n@phal > a voice <7032 qal > from heaven <8065 shamayin > ,   [ saying ]  ,  O king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > ,  to thee it is spoken <0560 >amar > ;  The kingdom <4437 malkuw > is departed <5709 <ada> > from thee .

 : 32 And they shall drive <2957 t@rad > thee from men <0606 >enash > ,  and thy dwelling <4070 m@dowr >  [ shall be ]  with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251 bar > : they shall make thee to eat <2939 t@<am > grass <6211 <ash > as oxen <8450 towr > ,  and seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan > shall pass <2499 chalaph > over <5922 <al > thee ,  until <5704 <ad > thou know <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ruleth <7980 shalat > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 >enash > ,  and giveth <5415 n@than > it to whomsoever <4479 man > he will <6634 ts@ba> > .

 : 33 The same hour <8160 sha<ah > was the thing <4406 millah > fulfilled <5487 cuwph > upon Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > : and he was driven <2957 t@rad > from men <0606 >enash > ,  and did eat <0399 >akal > grass <6211 <ash > as oxen <8450 towr > ,  and his body <1655 geshem > was wet <6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  till <5704 <ad > his hairs <8177 s@<ar > were grown <7236 r@bah > like eagles <5403 n@shar >   [ feathers ]  ,  and his nails <2953 t@phar > like birds <6853 ts@phar >   [ claws ]  .

 : 34 .  And at the end <7118 q@tsath > of the days <3118 yowm > I Nebuchadnezzar<5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > lifted <5191 n@tal > up mine eyes <5870 <ayin > unto heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and mine understanding <4486 manda< > returned <7725 shuwb > unto me ,  and I blessed <1289 b@rak > the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ,  and I praised <7624 sh@bach > and honoured <1922 hadar > him that liveth <2416 chay > for ever <5957 <alam > ,  whose <1768 diy > dominion <7985 sholtan >  [ is ]  an everlasting <5957 <alam > dominion <7985 sholtan > ,  and his kingdom <4437 malkuw >  [ is ]  from generation <1859 dar > to generation <1859 dar > :

 : 35 And all <3606 kol > the inhabitants <1753 duwr > of the earth <0772 >ara< >  [ are ]  reputed <2804 chashab > as nothing <3809 la> > : and he doeth <5648 <abad > according to his will <6634 ts@ba> > in the army <2429 chayil > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and  [ among ]  the inhabitants <1753 duwr > of the earth <0772 >ara< > : and none <3809 la> > can stay <4223 m@cha> > his hand <3028 yad > ,  or say <0560 >amar > unto him ,  What <4101 mah > doest <5648 <abad > thou ?

 : 36 At the same time <2166 z@man > my reason <4486 manda< > returned <7725 shuwb > unto me ;  and for the glory <3367 y@qar > of my kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  mine honour <1923 hadar > and brightness <2122 ziyv > returned <7725 shuwb > unto me ;  and my counsellors <1907 haddabar > and my lords <7261 rabr@ban > sought <1158 ba<ah > unto me ;  and I was established <8627 t@qan > in my kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  and excellent <3493 yattiyr > majesty <7238 r@buw > was added <3255 y@caph > unto me .

 : 37 Now <3705 k@<an > I Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > praise <7624 sh@bach > and extol <7313 ruwm > and honour <1922 hadar > the King <4430 melek > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  all <3606 kol > whose works <4567 ma<bad >  [ are ]  truth <7187 q@showt > ,  and his ways <0735 >orach > judgment <1780 diyn > : and those <1768 diy > that walk <1980 halak > in pride <1466 gevah > he is able <3202 y@kel > to abase <8214 sh@phal > .

 : Daniel 5

 : 1 .  Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > the king <4430 melek > made <5648 <abad > a great <7227 rab > feast <3900 l@chem > to a thousand <0506 >alaph > of his lords <7261 rabr@ban > ,  and drank <8355 sh@thah > wine <2562 chamar > before <6903 q@bel > the thousand <0506 >alaph > .

 : 2 Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > ,  whiles he tasted <2942 t@<em > the wine <2562 chamar > ,  commanded <0560 >amar > to bring <0858 >athah > the golden <1722 d@hab > and silver <3702 k@caph > vessels <3984 ma>n > which <1768 diy > his father <2> Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > had taken <5312 n@phaq > out of the temple <1965 heykal > which <1768 diy >  [ was ]  in Jerusalem <3390 Y@ruwshalem  ( Chald )  > ;  that the king <4430 melek > ,  and his princes <7261 rabr@ban > ,  his wives <7695 shegal > ,  and his concubines <3904 l@chenah > ,  might drink <8355 sh@thah > therein .

 : 3 Then <0116 >edayin > they brought <0858 >athah > the golden <1722 d@hab > vessels <3984 ma>n > that were taken <5312 n@phaq > out of the temple <1965 heykal > of the house <1005 bayith > of God <0426 >elahh > which <1768 diy >  [ was ]  at Jerusalem <3390 Y@ruwshalem  ( Chald )  > ;  and the king <4430 melek > ,  and his princes <7261 rabr@ban > ,  his wives <7695 shegal > ,  and his concubines <3904 l@chenah > ,  drank <8355 sh@thah > in them .

 : 4 They drank <8355 sh@thah > wine <2562 chamar > ,  and praised <7624 sh@bach > the gods <0426 >elahh > of gold <1722 d@hab > ,  and of silver <3702 k@caph > ,  of brass <5174 n@chash > ,  of iron <6523 parzel > ,  of wood <0636 >a< > ,  and of stone <69> .

 : 5 In the same hour <8160 sha<ah > came <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > fingers <0677 >etsba< > of a man s <0606 >enash > hand <3028 yad > ,  and wrote <3790 k@thab > over <6903 q@bel > against <6903 q@bel > the candlestick <5043 nebr@sha> > upon the plaister <1528 giyr > of the wall <3797 k@thal > of the king s <4430 melek > palace <1965 heykal > : and the king <4430 melek > saw <2370 chaza> > the part <6447 pac > of the hand <3028 yad > that wrote <3790 k@thab > .

 : 6 Then <0116 >edayin > the king s <4430 melek > countenance <2122 ziyv > was changed <8133 sh@na> > ,  and his thoughts <7476 ra<yown > troubled <0927 b@hal > him ,  so that the joints <7001 q@tar > of his loins <2788 charer > were loosed <8271 sh@re> > ,  and his knees <0755 >arkubah > smote <5368 n@qash > one <1668 da> > against another <1668 da> > .

 : 7 The king <4430 melek > cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil > to bring <5924 <ella> > in the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > ,  the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ,  and the soothsayers <1505 g@zar > .   [ And ]  the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > ,  and said <0560 >amar > to the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  of Babylon <0895 Babel > ,  Whosoever <3605 kol > shall read <7123 q@ra> > this <1836 den > writing <3792 k@thab > ,  and shew <2324 chava> > me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ,  shall be clothed <3848 l@bash > with scarlet <0711 >arg@van > ,  and  [ have ]  a chain <2002 hamniyk > of gold <1722 d@hab > about <5922 <al > his neck <6676 tsavva>r > ,  and shall be the third <8523 t@liythay > ruler <7981 sh@let > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > .

 : 8 Then <0116 >edayin > came <5954 <alal > in all <3606 kol > the king s <4430 melek > wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  : but they could <3546 k@hal > not read <7123 q@ra> > the writing <3792 k@thab > ,  nor make known <3046 y@da< > to the king <4430 melek > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof .

 : 9 Then <0116 >edayin > was king <4430 melek > Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > greatly <7690 saggiy> > troubled <0927 b@hal > ,  and his countenance <2122 ziyv > was changed <8133 sh@na> > in him ,  and his lords <7261 rabr@ban > were astonied <2672 chatsab > .

 : 10 .   [ Now ]  the queen <4433 malka> > ,  by reason <6903 q@bel > of the words <4406 millah > of the king <4430 melek > and his lords <7261 rabr@ban > ,  came <5954 <alal > into the banquet <4961 mishteh > house <1005 bayith > :  [ and ]  the queen <4433 malka> > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  live <2414 chataph > for ever <5957 <alam > : let not thy thoughts <7476 ra<yown > trouble <0927 b@hal > thee ,  nor <0408 >al > let thy countenance <2122 ziyv > be changed <8133 sh@na> > :

 : 11 There is a man <1400 g@bar > in thy kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  in whom <1768 diy >  [ is ]  the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the holy <6922 qaddiysh > gods <0426 >elahh > ;  and in the days <3118 yowm > of thy father <2> light <5094 n@hiyr > and understanding <7924 sokl@thanuw > and wisdom <2452 chokmah > ,  like the wisdom <2452 chokmah > of the gods <0426 >elahh > ,  was found <7912 sh@kach > in him ;  whom the king <4430 melek > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > thy father <2> ,  the king <4430 melek > ,   [ I say ]  ,  thy father <2> ,  made master <0729 >araz > of the magicians <2749 chartom > ,  astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > ,  Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > ,   [ and ]  soothsayers <1505 g@zar > ;

 : 12 Forasmuch as an excellent <3493 yattiyr > spirit <7308 ruwach > ,  and knowledge <0998 biynah > ,  and understanding <7924 sokl@thanuw > ,  interpreting <6591 p@shar > of dreams <2493 chelem > ,  and shewing <0263 >achavah > of hard <0280 >achiydah > sentences <0280 >achiydah > ,  and dissolving <8271 sh@re> > of doubts <7001 q@tar > ,  were found <7912 sh@kach > in the same Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  whom <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > named <8036 shum > Belteshazzar <1096 Belt@sha>tstsar > : now <3705 k@<an > let Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > be called <7123 q@ra> > ,  and he will shew <5046 nagad > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

 : 13 Then <0116 >edayin > was Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > brought <5954 <alal > in before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > .   [ And ]  the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,   [ Art ]  thou that Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  which <1768 diy >  [ art ]  of the children <1123 ben > of the captivity <1547 galuwth > of Judah <3061 Y@huwd > ,  whom <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > my father <2> brought <0858 >athah > out of Jewry <3061 Y@huwd > ?

 : 14 I have even heard <8086 sh@ma< > of thee ,  that the spirit <7308 ruwach > of the gods <0426 >elahh >  [ is ]  in thee ,  and  [ that ]  light <5094 n@hiyr > and understanding <7924 sokl@thanuw > and excellent <3493 yattiyr > wisdom <2452 chokmah > is found <7912 sh@kach > in thee .

 : 15 And now <3705 k@<an > the wise <2445 chakkiym >  [ men ]  ,  the astrologers <0826 >ashshaph > ,  have been brought <5954 <alal > in before <6925 qodam > me ,  that they should read <7123 q@ra> > this <1836 den > writing <3792 k@thab > ,  and make known <3046 y@da< > unto me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof : but they could <5346 Neqeb > not shew <2324 chava> > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the thing <4406 millah > :

 : 16 And I have heard <8086 sh@ma< > of thee ,  that thou canst <3202 y@kel > make interpretations <6591 p@shar > ,  and dissolve <8271 sh@re> > doubts <7001 q@tar > : now <3705 k@<an > if <2006 hen > thou canst <3202 y@kel > read <7123 q@ra> > the writing <3792 k@thab > ,  and make known <3046 y@da< > to me the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof ,  thou shalt be clothed <3848 l@bash > with scarlet <0711 >arg@van > ,  and  [ have ]  a chain <2002 hamniyk > of gold <1722 d@hab > about <5922 <al > thy neck <6676 tsavva>r > ,  and shalt be the third <8531 t@lath > ruler <7981 sh@let > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > .

 : 17 Then <0116 >edayin > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,  Let thy gifts <4978 matt@na> > be to thyself ,  and give <3052 y@hab > thy rewards <5023 n@bizbah > to another <0321 >ochoran > ;  yet <1297 b@ram > I will read <7123 q@ra> > the writing <3792 k@thab > unto the king <4430 melek > ,  and make known <3046 y@da< > to him the interpretation <6591 p@shar > .

 : 18 O thou king <4430 melek > ,  the most <5943 <illay > high <5943 <illay > God <0426 >elahh > gave <3052 y@hab > Nebuchadnezzar <5020 N@buwkadnetstsar > thy father <2> a kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  and majesty <7238 r@buw > ,  and glory <3367 y@qar > ,  and honour <1923 hadar > :

 : 19 And for the majesty <7238 r@buw > that he gave <3052 y@hab > him ,  all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > ,  nations <0524 >ummah > ,  and languages <3961 lishshan > ,  trembled <2112 zuwa< > and feared <1763 d@chal > before him : whom <1768 diy > he would <6634 ts@ba> > he slew <6992 q@tal > ;  and whom <1768 diy > he would <6634 ts@ba> > he kept alive <2418 chaya> > ;  and whom <1768 diy > he would <6634 ts@ba> > he set <7313 ruwm > up ;  and whom he would <6634 ts@ba> > he put <8214 sh@phal > down <8214 sh@phal > .

 : 20 But when <1768 diy > his heart <3825 l@bab > was lifted <7313 ruwm > up ,  and his mind <7307 ruwach > hardened <8631 t@qeph > in pride <2103 zuwd > ,  he was deposed <5182 n@chath > from his kingly <4437 malkuw > throne <3764 korce> > ,  and they took <5709 <ada> > his glory <3367 y@qar > from him :

 : 21 And he was driven <2957 t@rad > from the sons <1123 ben > of men <0606 >enash > ;  and his heart <3825 l@bab > was made <7737 shavah > like <5974 <im > the beasts <2423 cheyva> > ,  and his dwelling <4070 m@dowr >  [ was ]  with the wild <6167 <arad > asses <6167 <arad > : they fed <2939 t@<am > him with grass <6211 <ash > like oxen <8450 towr > ,  and his body <1655 geshem > was wet <6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ;  till <5704 <ad > he knew <3046 y@da< > that the most <5943 <illay > high <5943 <illay > God <0426 >elahh > ruled <7990 shalliyt > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > of men <0606 >enash > ,  and  [ that ]  he appointeth <6966 quwm > over <5922 <al > it whomsoever he will <6634 ts@ba> > .

 : 22 And thou his son <1247 bar > ,  O Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > ,  hast not humbled <8214 sh@phal > thine heart <3825 l@bab > ,  though thou knewest <3046 y@da< > all <3606 kol > this <1836 den > ;

 : 23 But hast lifted <7313 ruwm > up thyself against <5922 <al > the Lord <4756 mare> > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ;  and they have brought <0858 >athah > the vessels <3984 ma>n > of his house <1005 bayith > before <6925 qodam > thee ,  and thou ,  and thy lords <7261 rabr@ban > ,  thy wives <7695 shegal > ,  and thy concubines <3904 l@chenah > ,  have drunk <8355 sh@thah > wine <2562 chamar > in them ;  and thou hast praised <7624 sh@bach > the gods <0426 >elahh > of silver <3702 k@caph > ,  and gold <1722 d@hab > ,  of brass <5174 n@chash > ,  iron <6523 parzel > ,  wood <0636 >a< > ,  and stone <69> ,  which <1768 diy > see <2370 chaza> > not ,  nor <3809 la> > hear <8086 sh@ma< > ,  nor <3809 la> > know <3046 y@da< > : and the God <0426 >elahh > in whose <1768 diy > hand <3028 yad > thy breath <5396 nishma> >  [ is ]  ,  and whose  [ are ]  all <3606 kol > thy ways <0735 >orach > ,  hast thou not glorified <1922 hadar > :

 : 24 Then <0116 >edayin > was the part <6447 pac > of the hand <3028 yad > sent <7972 sh@lach > from him ;  and this <1836 den > writing <3792 k@thab > was written <7560 r@sham > .

 : 25 And this <1836 den >  [ is ]  the writing <3792 k@thab > that was written <7560 r@sham > ,  MENE <4484 mene> > ,  MENE <4484 mene> > ,  TEKEL <8625 t@qal > ,  UPHARSIN <6537 p@rac > .

 : 26 This <1836 den >  [ is ]  the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the thing <4406 millah > : MENE <4484 mene> > ;  God <0426 >elahh > hath numbered <4483 m@na> > thy kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  and finished <8000 sh@lam > it .

 : 27 TEKEL <8625 t@qal > ;  Thou art weighed <8625 t@qal > in the balances <3976 mo>zen > ,  and art found <7912 sh@kach > wanting <2627 chacciyr > .

 : 28 PERES <6537 p@rac > ;  Thy kingdom <4437 malkuw > is divided <6537 p@rac > ,  and given <3052 y@hab > to the Medes <4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac > .

 : 29 Then <0116 >edayin > commanded <0560 >amar > Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > ,  and they clothed <3848 l@bash > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > with scarlet <0711 >arg@van > ,  and  [ put ]  a chain <2002 hamniyk > of gold <1722 d@hab > about <5922 <al > his neck <6676 tsavva>r > ,  and made a proclamation <3745 k@raz > concerning <5922 <al > him ,  that he should be the third <8531 t@lath > ruler <7990 shalliyt > in the kingdom <4437 malkuw > .

 : 30 .  In that night <3916 leyl@ya> > was Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > the king <4430 melek > of the Chaldeans <3779 Kasday > slain <6992 q@tal > .

 : 31 And Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > the Median <4077 Maday > took <6902 q@bal > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,   [ being ]  about threescore <8361 shittiyn > and two <8648 t@reyn > years <8140 sh@nah > old <1247 bar > .

 : Daniel 6

 : 1 .  It pleased <8232 sh@phar > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > to set <3966 m@<od > over <5922 <al > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > an hundred <3969 ma>ah > and twenty <6243 <esriyn > princes <0324 >achashdarpan > ,  which <1768 diy > should be over the whole <3606 kol > kingdom <4437 malkuw > ;

 : 2 And over <5924 <ella> > these <4481 min > three <8532 t@lath > presidents <5632 carek > ;  of whom Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >  [ was ]  first <2298 chad > : that the princes <0324 >achashdarpan > might give <3052 y@hab > accounts <2941 ta<am > unto them ,  and the king <4430 melek > should have <1934 hava> > no <3809 la> > damage <5142 n@zaq > .

 : 3 Then <0116 >edayin > this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > was preferred <5330 n@tsach > above <5922 <al > the presidents <5632 carek > and princes <0324 >achashdarpan > ,  because an excellent <3493 yattiyr > spirit <7308 ruwach >  [ was ]  in him ;  and the king <4430 melek > thought <6246 <ashith > to set <3966 m@<od > him over <5922 <al > the whole <3606 kol > realm <4437 malkuw > .

 : 4 Then <0116 >edayin > the presidents <5632 carek > and princes <0324 >achashdarpan > sought <1158 ba<ah > to find <7912 sh@kach > occasion <5931 <illah > against Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > concerning <6655 tsad > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > ;  but they could <3202 y@kel > find <7912 sh@kach > none <3809 la> > occasion <5931 <illah > nor <3809 la> > fault <7844 sh@chath > ;  forasmuch as he  [ was ]  faithful <0540 >aman > ,  neither <3809 la> > was there any <3606 kol > error <7960 shaluw > or fault <7844 sh@chath > found <7912 sh@kach > in him .

 : 5 Then <0116 >edayin > said <0560 >amar > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > ,  We shall not find <7912 sh@kach > any <3606 kol > occasion <5931 <illah > against <5922 <al > this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  except <3861 lawhen > we find <7912 sh@kach >  [ it ]  against him concerning the law <1882 dath > of his God <0426 >elahh > .

 : 9 Wherefore king <4430 melek > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > signed <7560 r@sham > the writing <3792 k@thab > and the decree <0633 >ecar > .

 : 10 Now <1768 diy > when <1768 diy > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > knew <3046 y@da< > that the writing <3792 k@thab > was signed <7560 r@sham > ,  he went <5954 <alal > into his house <1005 bayith > ;  and his windows <3551 kav > being open <6606 p@thach > in his chamber <5952 <alliyth > toward <5049 neged > Jerusalem <3390 Y@ruwshalem  ( Chald )  > ,  he kneeled <1289 b@rak > upon his knees <1291 berek > three <8532 t@lath > times <2166 z@man > a day <3118 yowm > ,  and prayed <6739 ts@la> > ,  and gave thanks <3029 y@da> > before <6925 qodam > his God <0426 >elahh > ,  as he did <5648 <abad > aforetime .

 : 12 Then <0116 >edayin > they came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > ,  and spake <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > concerning <5922 <al > the king s <4430 melek > decree <0633 >ecar > ;  Hast thou not signed <7560 r@sham > a decree <0633 >ecar > ,  that every <3606 kol > man <0606 >enash > that shall ask <1156 b@<a> >  [ a petition ]  of any <3606 kol > God <0426 >elahh > or man <0606 >enash > within <5705 <ad > thirty <8533 t@lathiyn > days <3118 yowm > ,  save <3861 lawhen > of thee ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  shall be cast <7412 r@mah > into the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > ?  The king <4430 melek > answered <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  The thing <4406 millah >  [ is ]  true <3330 yatstsiyb > ,  according to the law <1882 dath > of the Medes <4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac > ,  which <1768 diy > altereth <5709 <ada> > not .

 : 13 Then <0116 >edayin > answered <6032 <anah > they and said <0560 >amar > before <6925 qodam > the king <4430 melek > ,  That Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  which <1768 diy >  [ is ]  of the children <1123 ben > of the captivity <1547 galuwth > of Judah <3061 Y@huwd > ,  regardeth not thee ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  nor the decree <0633 >ecar > that thou hast signed <7560 r@sham > ,  but maketh his petition <1159 ba<uw > three <8532 t@lath > times <2166 z@man > a day <3118 yowm > .

 : 14 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > ,  when <1768 diy > he heard <8086 sh@ma< >  [ these ]  words <4406 millah > ,  was sore <7690 saggiy> > displeased <0888 b@>esh > with himself ,  and set <7761 suwm >  [ his ]  heart <1079 bal > on <5922 <al > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > to deliver <7804 sh@zab > him : and he laboured <7712 sh@dar > till <5704 <ad > the going <4606 me<al > down <4606 me<al > of the sun <8122 shemesh > to deliver <5338 n@tsal > him .

 : 15 Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > assembled<7284 r@gash > unto the king <4430 melek > ,  and said <0560 >amar > unto the king <4430 melek > ,  Know <3046 y@da< > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  that the law <1882 dath > of the Medes <4076 Maday > and Persians <6540 Parac >  [ is ]  ,  That no decree <0633 >ecar > nor statute <7010 q@yam > which <1768 diy > the king <4430 melek > establisheth <6966 quwm > may be changed <8133 sh@na> > .

 : 16 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > commanded <0560 >amar > ,  and they brought <0858 >athah > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  and cast <7412 r@mah >  [ him ]  into the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > .   [ Now <0116 >edayin > ]  the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  Thy God <0426 >elahh > whom <1768 diy > thou servest <6399 p@lach > continually <8411 t@diyra> > ,  he will deliver <7804 sh@zab > thee .

 : 17 And a stone <69> was brought <0858 >athah > ,  and laid <7760 suwm > upon the mouth <6433 pum > of the den <1358 gob > ;  and the king <4430 melek > sealed <2857 chatham > it with his own signet <5824 <izqa> > ,  and with the signet <5824 <izqa> > of his lords <7261 rabr@ban > ;  that the purpose <6640 ts@buw > might not be changed <8133 sh@na> > concerning Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > .

 : 18 .  Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > went <0236 >azal > to his palace <1965 heykal > ,  and passed the night <0956 buwth > fasting <2908 t@vath > : neither <3809 la> > were instruments <1761 dachavah > of musick brought <5954 <alal > before <6925 qodam > him : and his sleep <8139 sh@nah > went <5075 n@dad > from him .

 : 19 Then <0116 >edayin > the king <4430 melek > arose <6966 quwm > very early <8238 sh@pharphar > in the morning <5053 nogahh > ,  and went <0236 >azal > in haste <0927 b@hal > unto the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > .

 : 20 And when he came <7127 q@reb > to the den <1358 gob > ,  he cried <2200 z@<iq > with a lamentable <6088 <atsab > voice <7032 qal > unto Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > :  [ and ]  the king <4430 melek > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > to Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  O Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  servant <5649 <abad > of the living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh > ,  is thy God <0426 >elahh > ,  whom <1768 diy > thou servest <6399 p@lach > continually <8411 t@diyra> > ,  able <3202 y@kel > to deliver <7804 sh@zab > thee from the lions <0744 >aryeh > ?

 : 21 Then <0116 >edayin > said <4449 m@lal > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > unto the king <4430 melek > ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  live <2414 chataph > for ever <5957 <alam > .

 : 22 My God <0426 >elahh > hath sent <7972 sh@lach > his angel <4398 mal>ak > ,  and hath shut <5463 c@gar > the lions <0744 >aryeh >  mouths <6433 pum > ,  that they have not hurt <2255 chabal > me : forasmuch as before <6925 qodam > him innocency <2136 zakuw > was found <7912 sh@kach > in me ;  and also <0638 >aph > before <6925 qodam > thee ,  O king <4430 melek > ,  have I done <5648 <abad > no <3809 la> > hurt <2248 chabuwlah > .

 : 23 Then <0116 >edayin > was the king <4430 melek > exceeding <7689 saggiy> > glad <2868 t@>eb > for him ,  and commanded <0560 >amar > that they should take <5267 n@caq > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > up out of the den <1358 gob > .  So Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > was taken <5267 n@caq > up out of the den <1358 gob > ,  and no manner of hurt <2257 chabal > was found <7912 sh@kach > upon him ,  because <1768 diy > he believed <0540 >aman > in his God <0426 >elahh > .

 : 24 And the king <4430 melek > commanded <0560 >amar > ,  and they brought <0858 >athah > those <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar > which <1768 diy > had accused <7170 q@rats > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  and they cast <7412 r@mah >  [ them ]  into the den <1358 gob > of lions <0744 >aryeh > ,  them ,  their children <1123 ben > ,  and their wives <5389 nashiyn > ;  and the lions <0744 >aryeh > had the mastery <6981 Qowre> > of them ,  and brake <1855 d@qaq > all <3606 kol > their bones <1635 gerem > in pieces or ever <3809 la> > they came <4291 m@ta> > at the bottom <0773 >ar<iyth > of the den <1358 gob > .

 : 25 .  Then <0116 >edayin > king <4430 melek > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > wrote <3790 k@thab > unto all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > ,  nations <0524 >ummah > ,  and languages <3961 lishshan > ,  that dwell <1753 duwr > in all <3606 kol > the earth <0772 >ara< > ;  Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680 s@ga> > unto you .

 : 26 I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@<em > ,  That in every <3606 kol > dominion <7985 sholtan > of my kingdom <4437 malkuw > men tremble <2112 zuwa< > and fear <1763 d@chal > before the God <0426 >elahh > of Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > : for he  [ is ]  the living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh > ,  and stedfast <7011 qayam > for ever <5957 <alam > ,  and his kingdom <4437 malkuw >  [ that ]  which <1768 diy > shall not be destroyed <2255 chabal > ,  and his dominion <7985 sholtan >  [ shall be even ]  unto the end <5491 cowph > .

 : 27 He delivereth <7804 sh@zab > and rescueth <5338 n@tsal > ,  and he worketh <5648 <abad > signs <0852 >ath > and wonders <8540 t@mahh > in heaven <8065 shamayin > and in earth <0772 >ara< > ,  who <1768 diy > hath delivered <7804 sh@zab > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > from the power <3028 yad > of the lions <0744 >aryeh > .

 : 28 So this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > prospered <6744 ts@lach > in the reign <4437 malkuw > of Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > ,  and in the reign <4437 malkuw > of Cyrus <3567 Kowresh > the Persian <6523 parzel > .

 : Daniel 7

 : 1 .  In the first <2298 chad > year <8140 sh@nah > of Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > king <4430 melek > of Babylon <0895 Babel > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > had <2370 chaza> > a dream <2493 chelem > and visions <2376 chezev > of his head <7217 re>sh > upon his bed <4903 mishkab > : then <0116 >edayin > he wrote <3790 k@thab > the dream <2493 chelem > ,   [ and ]  told <0560 >amar > the sum <7217 re>sh > of the matters <4406 millah > .

 : 2 Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > spake <6032 <anah > and said <0560 >amar > ,  I saw <2370 chaza> > in my vision <2376 chezev > by night <3916 leyl@ya> > ,  and ,  behold <0718 >aruw > ,  the four <0703 >arba< > winds <7308 ruwach > of the heaven <8065 shamayin > strove <1519 giyach > upon the great <7227 rab > sea <3221 yam > .

 : 3 And four <0703 >arba< > great <7260 rabrab > beasts <2423 cheyva> > came <5559 c@liq > up from the sea <3221 yam > ,  diverse <8133 sh@na> > one <1668 da> > from another <1668 da> > .

 : 4 The first <6933 qadmay >  [ was ]  like a lion <0738 >ariy > ,  and had eagle s <5403 n@shar > wings <1611 gaph > : I beheld till <5704 <ad > the wings <1611 gaph > thereof were plucked <4804 m@rat > ,  and it was lifted <5191 n@tal > up from the earth <0772 >ara< > ,  and made stand <6966 quwm > upon the feet <7271 r@gal > as a man <0606 >enash > ,  and a man s <0606 >enash > heart <3825 l@bab > was given <3052 y@hab > to it .

 : 5 And behold <0718 >aruw > another <0317 >ochoriy > beast <2423 cheyva> > ,  a second <8578 tinyan > ,  like <1821 d@mah > to a bear <1678 dob > ,  and it raised <6966 quwm > up itself on one <2298 chad > side <7859 sh@tar > ,  and  [ it had ]  three <8532 t@lath > ribs <6763 tsela< > in the mouth <6433 pum > of it between <0997 beyn > the teeth <8128 shen > of it : and they said <0560 >amar > thus <3652 ken > unto it ,  Arise <6965 quwm > ,  devour <0399 >akal > much <7690 saggiy> > flesh <1321 b@sar > .

 : 6 After <0870 >athar > this <1836 den > I beheld ,  and lo <0718 >aruw > another <0317 >ochoriy > ,  like a leopard <5245 n@mar > ,  which <1768 diy > had upon the back <1355 gab > of it four <0703 >arba< > wings <1611 gaph > of a fowl <5776 <owph > ;  the beast <2423 cheyva> > had also four <0703 >arba< > heads <7217 re>sh > ;  and dominion <7985 sholtan > was given <3052 y@hab > to it .

 : 7 After <0870 >athar > this <1836 den > I saw <2370 chaza> > in the night <3916 leyl@ya> > visions <2376 chezev > ,  and behold <0718 >aruw > a fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > beast <2423 cheyva> > ,  dreadful <1763 d@chal > and terrible <0574 >emtaniy > ,  and strong <8624 taqqiyph > exceedingly <3493 yattiyr > ;  and it had great <7260 rabrab > iron <6523 parzel > teeth <8128 shen > : it devoured <0399 >akal > and brake <1855 d@qaq > in pieces ,  and stamped <7512 r@phac > the residue <7606 sh@>ar > with the feet <7271 r@gal > of it : and it  [ was ]  diverse <8133 sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > the beasts <2423 cheyva> > that  [ were ]  before <6925 qodam > it ;  and it had ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > .

 : 8 I considered <7920 s@kal > the horns <7162 qeren > ,  and ,  behold <0431 >aluw > ,  there came <5559 c@liq > up among <0997 beyn > them another <0317 >ochoriy > little <2192 z@<eyr > horn <7162 qeren > ,  before <6925 qodam > whom there were three <8532 t@lath > of the first <6933 qadmay > horns <7162 qeren > plucked <6132 <aqar > up by the roots <6132 <aqar > : and ,  behold <0431 >aluw > ,  in this <1668 da> > horn <7162 qeren >  [ were ]  eyes <5870 <ayin > like the eyes <5870 <ayin > of man <0606 >enash > ,  and a mouth <6433 pum > speaking <4449 m@lal > great <7260 rabrab > things .

 : 9 .  I beheld till <5704 <ad > the thrones <3764 korce> > were cast <7412 r@mah > down ,  and the Ancient <6268 <attiyq > of days <3118 yowm > did sit <3488 y@thiyb > ,  whose garment <3831 l@buwsh >  [ was ]  white as snow <8517 t@lag > ,  and the hair <8177 s@<ar > of his head <7217 re>sh > like the pure <5343 n@qe> > wool <6015 <amar > : his throne <3764 korce> >  [ was like ]  the fiery <5135 nuwr > flame <7631 s@biyb > ,   [ and ]  his wheels <1535 galgal >  [ as ]  burning <1815 d@laq > fire <5135 nuwr > .

 : 10 A fiery <5135 nuwr > stream <5103 n@har > issued <5047 n@gad > and came <5312 n@phaq > forth <5312 n@phaq > from before <6925 qodam > him : thousand <0506 >alaph > thousands <0506 >alaph > ministered <8120 sh@mash > unto him ,  and ten <7240 ribbow > thousand <7240 ribbow > times ten <7240 ribbow > thousand <7240 ribbow > stood <6966 quwm > before <6925 qodam > him : the judgment <1780 diyn > was set <3488 y@thiyb > ,  and the books <5609 c@phar > were opened <6606 p@thach > .

 : 11 I beheld then <0116 >edayin > because <4481 min > of the voice <7032 qal > of the great <7260 rabrab > words <4406 millah > which <1768 diy > the horn <7162 qeren > spake <4449 m@lal > : I beheld  [ even <5705 <ad > ]  till <5704 <ad > the beast <2423 cheyva> > was slain <6992 q@tal > ,  and his body <1655 geshem > destroyed <7> ,  and given <3052 y@hab > to the burning <3346 y@qeda> > flame <0785 >esh > .

 : 12 As concerning the rest <7606 sh@>ar > of the beasts <2423 cheyva> > ,  they had their dominion <7985 sholtan > taken <5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> > : yet their lives <2417 chay > were prolonged for a season <2166 z@man > and time <5732 <iddan > .

 : 13 I saw <2370 chaza> > in the night <6916 qiddah > visions <2376 chezev > ,  and ,  behold <0718 >aruw > ,   [ one ]  like the Son <1247 bar > of man <0606 >enash > came with the clouds <6050 <anan > of heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  and came <4291 m@ta> > to the Ancient <6268 <attiyq > of days <3118 yowm > ,  and they brought <7127 q@reb > him near <7127 q@reb > before <6925 qodam > him .

 : 14 And there was given <3052 y@hab > him dominion <7985 sholtan > ,  and glory <3367 y@qar > ,  and a kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  that all <3606 kol > people <5972 <am > ,  nations <0524 >ummah > ,  and languages <3961 lishshan > ,  should serve <6399 p@lach > him : his dominion <7985 sholtan >  [ is ]  an everlasting <5957 <alam > dominion <7985 sholtan > ,  which <1768 diy > shall not pass <5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> > ,  and his kingdom <4437 malkuw >  [ that ]  which <1768 diy > shall not be destroyed <2255 chabal > .

 : 15 .  I Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > was grieved <3735 Kara> > in my spirit <7308 ruwach > in the midst <1459 gav > of  [ my ]  body <5085 nidneh > ,  and the visions <2376 chezev > of my head <7217 re>sh > troubled <0927 b@hal > me .

 : 16 I came <7127 q@reb > near <7127 q@reb > unto one <2298 chad > of them that stood <6966 quwm > by ,  and asked <1156 b@<a> > him the truth <3330 yatstsiyb > of all <3606 kol > this <1836 den > .  So he told <0560 >amar > me ,  and made me know <3046 y@da< > the interpretation <6591 p@shar > of the things <4406 millah > .

 : 17 These <0459 >illeyn > great <7260 rabrab > beasts <2423 cheyva> > ,  which <1768 diy > are four <0703 >arba< > ,   [ are ]  four <0703 >arba< > kings <4430 melek > ,   [ which ]  shall arise <6965 quwm > out of the earth <0772 >ara< > .

 : 18 But the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946 <elyown > High <5946 <elyown > shall take <6902 q@bal > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  and possess <2631 chacan > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > for ever <5957 <alam > ,  even <5705 <ad > for ever <5957 <alam > and ever <5957 <alam > .

 : 19 Then <0116 >edayin > I would <6634 ts@ba> > know <3046 y@da< > the truth <3321 y@tseb > of the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > beast <2423 cheyva> > ,  which <1768 diy > was diverse <8133 sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > the others ,  exceeding <3493 yattiyr > dreadful <1763 d@chal > ,  whose <1768 diy > teeth <8128 shen >  [ were of ]  iron <6523 parzel > ,  and his nails <2953 t@phar >  [ of ]  brass <5174 n@chash > ;   [ which ]  devoured <0399 >akal > ,  brake <1855 d@qaq > in pieces ,  and stamped <7512 r@phac > the residue <7606 sh@>ar > with his feet <7271 r@gal > ;

 : 20 And of the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > that  [ were ]  in his head <7217 re>sh > ,  and  [ of ]  the other <0317 >ochoriy > which <1768 diy > came <5559 c@liq > up ,  and before whom <4479 man > three <8532 t@lath > fell <5308 n@phal > ;  even  [ of ]  that horn <7162 qeren > that had eyes <5870 <ayin > ,  and a mouth <6433 pum > that spake <4449 m@lal > very <7260 rabrab > great <7260 rabrab > things ,  whose look <2376 chezev >  [ was ]  more <5750 <owd > stout <7229 rab > than <4481 min > his fellows <2273 chabrah > .

 : 21 I beheld ,  and the same <1797 dikken > horn <7162 qeren > made <5648 <abad > war <7129 q@rab > with the saints <6922 qaddiysh > ,  and prevailed <3202 y@kel > against them ;

 : 22 Until <5704 <ad > the Ancient <6268 <attiyq > of days <3118 yowm > came <0858 >athah > ,  and judgment <1780 diyn > was given <3052 y@hab > to the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946 <elyown > High <5946 <elyown > ;  and the time <2166 z@man > came <4291 m@ta> > that the saints <6922 qaddiysh > possessed <2631 chacan > the kingdom <4437 malkuw > .

 : 23 Thus <3652 ken > he said <0560 >amar > ,  The fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > beast <2423 cheyva> > shall be the fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > kingdom <4437 malkuw > upon earth <0772 >ara< > ,  which <1768 diy > shall be diverse <8133 sh@na> > from all <3606 kol > kingdoms <4437 malkuw > ,  and shall devour <0399 >akal > the whole <3606 kol > earth <0772 >ara< > ,  and shall tread <1759 duwsh > it down ,  and break <1854 daqaq > it in pieces .

 : 24 And the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > out of this kingdom <4437 malkuw >  [ are ]  ten <6236 <asar > kings <4430 melek >  [ that ]  shall arise <6965 quwm > : and another <0312 >acher > shall rise <6966 quwm > after <0311 >achar > them ;  and he shall be diverse <8133 sh@na> > from the first <6933 qadmay > ,  and he shall subdue <8214 sh@phal > three <8532 t@lath > kings <4430 melek > .

 : 25 And he shall speak <4449 m@lal >  [ great ]  words <4406 millah > against<6655 tsad > the most <5943 <illay > High <5943 <illay > ,  and shall wear <1080 b@la> > out the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5946 <elyown > High <5946 <elyown > ,  and think <5452 c@bar > to change <8133 sh@na> > times <2166 z@man > and laws <1882 dath > : and they shall be given <3052 y@hab > into his hand <3028 yad > until <5704 <ad > a time <5732 <iddan > and times <5732 <iddan > and the dividing <6387 p@lag > of time <5732 <iddan > .

 : 26 But the judgment <1780 diyn > shall sit <3488 y@thiyb > ,  and they shall take <5709 <ada> > away <5709 <ada> > his dominion <7985 sholtan > ,  to consume <8046 sh@mad > and to destroy <7>  [ it ]  unto the end <5491 cowph > .

 : 27 And the kingdom <4437 malkuw > and dominion <7985 sholtan > ,  and the greatness <7238 r@buw > of the kingdom <4437 malkuw > under <8460 t@chowth > the whole <3606 kol > heaven <8065 shamayin > ,  shall be given <3052 y@hab > to the people <5972 <am > of the saints <6922 qaddiysh > of the most <5945 >elyown > High <5946 <elyown > ,  whose kingdom <4437 malkuw >  [ is ]  an everlasting <5957 <alam > kingdom <4437 malkuw > ,  and all <3606 kol > dominions <7985 sholtan > shall serve <6399 p@lach > and obey <8086 sh@ma< > him .

 : 28 Hitherto  [ is ]  the end <5491 cowph > of the matter <4406 millah > .  As for me Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > ,  my cogitations <7476 ra<yown > much <7690 saggiy> > troubled <0927 b@hal > me ,  and my countenance <2122 ziyv > changed <8133 sh@na> > in me : but I kept <5202 n@tar > the matter <4406 millah > in my heart <3821 leb > .

 : Daniel 8

 : 1 .  In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of the reign <4438 malkuwth > of king <4428 melek > Belshazzar <1113 Belsha>tstsar > a vision <2377 chazown > appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto me ,   [ even unto ]  me Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  after <0310 >achar > that which appeared <7200 ra>ah > unto me at the first <8462 t@chillah > .

 : 2 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > in a vision <2377 chazown > ;  and it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when I saw <7200 ra>ah > ,  that I  [ was ]  at Shushan <7800 Shuwshan >  [ in ]  the palace <1002 biyrah > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]  in the province <4082 m@diynah > of Elam <5867 <Eylam > ;  and I saw <7200 ra>ah > in a vision <2377 chazown > ,  and I was by the river <0180 >uwbal > of Ulai <0195 >Uwlay > .

 : 3 Then I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and saw <7200 ra>ah > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the river <0180 >uwbal > a ram <0352 >ayil > which had  [ two ]  horns <7161 qeren > : and the  [ two ]  horns <7161 qeren >  [ were ]  high <1364 gaboahh > ;  but one <0259 >echad >  [ was ]  higher <1364 gaboahh > than <4480 min > the other <8145 sheniy > ,  and the higher <1364 gaboahh > came <5927 <alah > up last <0314 >acharown > .

 : 4 I saw <7200 ra>ah > the ram <0352 >ayil > pushing <5055 nagach > westward <3220 yam > ,  and northward <6828 tsaphown > ,  and southward <5045 negeb > ;  so that no <3808 lo> > beasts <2416 chay > might stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him ,  neither <0369 >ayin >  [ was there any ]  that could deliver <5337 natsal > out of his hand <3027 yad > ;  but he did <6213 <asah > according to his will <7522 ratsown > ,  and became <1431 gadal > great <1431 gadal > .

 : 5 And as I was considering <0995 biyn > ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  an he goat <5795 <ez > came <0935 bow> > from the west <4628 ma<arab > on the face <6440 paniym > of the whole <3605 kol > earth <0776 >erets > ,  and touched <5060 naga< > not the ground <0776 >erets > : and the goat <6842 tsaphiyr >  [ had ]  a notable <2380 chazuwth > horn <7161 qeren > between <0996 beyn > his eyes <5869 <ayin > .

 : 6 And he came <0935 bow> > to the ram <0352 >ayil > that had  [ two ]  horns <7161 qeren > ,  which <0834 >aher > I had seen <7200 ra>ah > standing <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > the river <0180 >uwbal > ,  and ran <7323 ruwts > unto him in the fury <2534 chemah > of his power <3581 koach > .

 : 7 And I saw <7200 ra>ah > him come <5060 naga< > close <0681 >etsel > unto the ram <0352 >ayil > ,  and he was moved with choler <4843 marar > against <0413 >el > him ,  and smote <5221 nakah > the ram <0352 >ayil > ,  and brake <7665 shabar > his two <8147 sh@nayim > horns <7161 qeren > : and there was no <3808 lo> > power <3581 koach > in the ram <0352 >ayil > to stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him ,  but he cast <7993 shalak > him down to the ground <0776 >erets > ,  and stamped <7429 ramac > upon him : and there was none <3808 lo> > that could deliver <5337 natsal > the ram <0352 >ayil > out of his hand <3027 yad > .

 : 8 Therefore the he goat <6842 tsaphiyr > waxed very great <1431 gadal > : and when he was strong <6105 <atsam > ,  the great <1419 gadowl > horn <7161 qeren > was broken <7665 shabar > ;  and for it came <5927 <alah > up four <0702 >arba< > notable <2380 chazuwth > ones toward the four <0702 >arba< > winds <7307 ruwach > of heaven <8064 shamayim > .

 : 9 And out of one <0259 >echad > of them came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > a little <4704 mitsts@<iyrah > horn <7161 qeren > ,  which waxed exceeding <3499 yether > great <1431 gadal > ,  toward <0413 >el > the south <5045 negeb > ,  and toward <0413 >el > the east <4217 mizrach > ,  and toward <0413 >el > the pleasant <6643 ts@biy >  [ land ]  .

 : 10 And it waxed great <1431 gadal > ,   [ even ]  to the host <6635 tsaba> > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ;  and it cast <5307 naphal > down <5307 naphal >  [ some ]  of the host <6635 tsaba> > and of the stars <3556 kowkab > to the ground <0776 >erets > ,  and stamped <7429 ramac > upon them .

 : 11 Yea ,  he magnified <1431 gadal >  [ himself ]  even to the prince <8269 sar > of the host <6635 tsaba> > ,  and by him the daily <8548 tamiyd >  [ sacrifice ]  was taken <7311 ruwm > away <7311 ruwm > ,  and the place <4349 makown > of his sanctuary <4720 miqdash > was cast <7993 shalak > down .

 : 12 And an host <6635 tsaba> > was given <5414 nathan >  [ him ]  against <5921 <al > the daily <8548 tamiyd >  [ sacrifice ]  by reason of transgression <6588 pesha< > ,  and it cast <7993 shalak > down the truth <0571 >emeth > to the ground <0776 >erets > ;  and it practised <6213 <asah > ,  and prospered <6743 tsalach > .

 : 13 Then I heard <8085 shama< > one <0259 >echad > saint <6918 qadowsh > speaking <1696 dabar > ,  and another <0259 >echad > saint <6918 qadowsh > said <0559 >amar > unto that certain <6422 palmowniy >  [ saint ]  which spake <1696 dabar > ,  How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad >  [ shall be ]  the vision <2377 chazown >  [ concerning ]  the daily <8548 tamiyd >  [ sacrifice ]  ,  and the transgression <6588 pesha< > of desolation <8074 shamem > ,  to give <5414 nathan > both the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > and the host <6635 tsaba> > to be trodden <4823 mirmac > under foot <4823 mirmac > ?

 : 14 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Unto two thousand <0505 >eleph > and three <7969 shalowsh > hundred <3967 me>ah > days ;  then shall the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > be cleansed <6663 tsadaq > .

 : 15 .  And it came <1961 hayah > to pass ,  when I ,   [ even ]  I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  had seen <7200 ra>ah > the vision <2377 chazown > ,  and sought <1245 baqash > for the meaning <0998 biynah > ,  then ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there stood <5975 <amad > before <5048 neged > me as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a man <1397 geber > .

 : 16 And I heard <8085 shama< > a man s <0120 >adam > voice <6963 qowl > between <0996 beyn >  [ the banks of ]  Ulai <0195 >Uwlay > ,  which called <7121 qara> > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Gabriel <1403 Gabriy>el > ,  make this <1975 hallaz >  [ man ]  to understand <0995 biyn > the vision <4758 mar>eh > .

 : 17 So he came <0935 bow> > near <0681 >etsel > where I stood <5977 <omed > : and when he came <0935 bow> > ,  I was afraid <1204 ba<ath > ,  and fell <5307 naphal > upon my face <6440 paniym > : but he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Understand <0995 biyn > ,  O son <1121 ben > of man <0120 >adam > : for at the time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets >  [ shall be ]  the vision <4758 mar>eh > .

 : 18 Now as he was speaking <1696 dabar > with me ,  I was in a deep <7290 radam > sleep <7290 radam > on <5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym > toward the ground <0776 >erets > : but he touched <5060 naga< > me ,  and set <5975 <amad > me upright <5977 <omed > .

 : 19 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Behold <2005 hen > ,  I will make thee know <3045 yada< > what shall be in the last <0319 >achariyth > end of the indignation <2195 za<am > : for at the time appointed <4150 mow<ed > the end <7093 qets >  [ shall be ]  .

 : 20 The ram <0352 >ayil > which <0834 >aher > thou sawest <7200 ra>ah > having <1167 ba<al >  [ two ]  horns <7161 qeren >  [ are ]  the kings <4428 melek > of Media <4074 Maday > and Persia <6539 Parac > .

 : 21 And the rough <8163 sa<iyr > goat <6842 tsaphiyr >  [ is ]  the king <4428 melek > of Grecia <3120 Yavan > : and the great <1419 gadowl > horn <7161 qeren > that  [ is ]  between <0996 beyn > his eyes <5869 <ayin >  [ is ]  the first <7223 ri>shown > king <4428 melek > .

 : 22 Now that being broken <7665 shabar > ,  whereas four <0702 >arba< > stood <5975 <amad > up for it ,  four <0702 >arba< > kingdoms <4438 malkuwth > shall stand <5975 <amad > up out of the nation <1471 gowy > ,  but not in his power <3581 koach > .

 : 23 And in the latter <0319 >achariyth > time of their kingdom <4438 malkuwth > ,  when the transgressors <6586 pasha< > are come to the full <8552 tamam > ,  a king <4428 melek > of fierce <5794 <az > countenance <6440 paniym > ,  and understanding <0995 biyn > dark <2420 chiydah > sentences <2420 chiydah > ,  shall stand <5975 <amad > up .

 : 24 And his power <3581 koach > shall be mighty <6105 <atsam > ,  but not by his own power <3581 koach > : and he shall destroy <7843 shachath > wonderfully <6381 pala> > ,  and shall prosper <6743 tsalach > ,  and practise <6213 <asah > ,  and shall destroy <7843 shachath > the mighty <6099 <atsuwm > and the holy <6918 qadowsh > people <5971 <am > .

 : 25 And through <5921 <al > his policy <7922 sekel > also he shall cause craft <4820 mirmah > to prosper <6743 tsalach > in his hand <3027 yad > ;  and he shall magnify <1431 gadal >  [ himself ]  in his heart <3824 lebab > ,  and by peace <7962 shalvah > shall destroy <7843 shachath > many <7227 rab > : he shall also stand <5975 <amad > up against <5921 <al > the Prince <8269 sar > of princes <8269 sar > ;  but he shall be broken <7665 shabar > without <0657 >ephec > hand <3027 yad > .

 : 26 And the vision <4758 mar>eh > of the evening <6153 <ereb > and the morning <1242 boqer > which <0834 >aher > was told <0560 >amar >  [ is ]  true <0571 >emeth > : wherefore shut <5640 catham > thou up the vision <2377 chazown > ;  for it  [ shall be ]  for many <7227 rab > days <3117 yowm > .

 : 27 And I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > fainted <1961 hayah > ,  and was sick <2470 chalah >  [ certain ]  days <3117 yowm > ;  afterward I rose <6965 quwm > up ,  and did <6213 <asah > the king s <4428 melek > business <4399 m@la>kah > ;  and I was astonished <8074 shamem > at <5921 <al > the vision <4758 mar>eh > ,  but none <0369 >ayin > understood <0995 biyn >  [ it ]  .

 : Daniel 9

 : 1 .  In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh > the son <1121 ben > of Ahasuerus <0325 >Achashverowsh > ,  of the seed <2233 zera< > of the Medes <4074 Maday > ,  which <0834 >aher > was made king <4427 malak > over <5921 <al > the realm <4438 malkuwth > of the Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > ;

 : 2 In the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of his reign <4427 malak > I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > understood <0995 biyn > by books <5612 cepher > the number <4557 micpar > of the years <8141 shaneh > ,  whereof <0834 >aher > the word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > came <1961 hayah > to Jeremiah <3414 Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  that he would accomplish <4390 male> > seventy <7657 shib<iym .  > years <8141 shaneh > in the desolations <2723 chorbah > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 3 And I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > unto the Lord <0136 >Adonay > God <0430 >elohiym > ,  to seek <1245 baqash > by prayer <8605 t@phillah > and supplications <8469 tachanuwn > ,  with fasting <6685 tsowm > ,  and sackcloth <8242 saq > ,  and ashes <0665 >epher > :

 : 4 .  And I prayed <6419 palal > unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > ,  and made my confession <3034 yadah > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  the great <1419 gadowl > and dreadful <3372 yare> > God <0410 >el > ,  keeping <8104 shamar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > and mercy <2617 checed > to them that love <0157 >ahab > him ,  and to them that keep <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah > ;

 : 5 We have sinned <2398 chata> > ,  and have committed <5753 <avah > iniquity <5753 <avah > ,  and have done wickedly <7561 rasha< > ,  and have rebelled <4775 marad > ,  even by departing <5493 cuwr > from thy precepts <4687 mitsvah > and from thy judgments <4941 mishpat > :

 : 6 Neither <3808 lo> > have we hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thy servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  which <0834 >aher > spake <1696 dabar > in thy name <8034 shem > to our kings <4428 melek > ,  our princes <8269 sar > ,  and our fathers <1> ,  and to all <3605 kol > the people <5971 <am > of the land <0776 >erets > .

 : 7 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  righteousness <6666 ts@daqah >  [ belongeth ]  unto thee ,  but unto us confusion <1322 bosheth > of faces <6440 paniym > ,  as at this <2088 zeh > day <3117 yowm > ;  to the men <0376 >iysh > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and to the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  and unto all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,   [ that are ]  near <7138 qarowb > ,  and  [ that are ]  far <7350 rachowq > off ,  through all <3605 kol > the countries <0776 >erets > whither thou hast driven <5080 nadach > them ,  because of their trespass <4604 ma<al > that they have trespassed <4603 ma<al > against thee .

 : 8 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  to us  [ belongeth ]  confusion <1322 bosheth > of face <6440 paniym > ,  to our kings <4428 melek > ,  to our princes <8269 sar > ,  and to our fathers <1> ,  because <0834 >aher > we have sinned <2398 chata> > against thee .

 : 9 To the Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 >elohiym >  [ belong ]  mercies <7356 racham > and forgivenesses <5547 c@liychah > ,  though <3588 kiy > we have rebelled <4775 marad > against him ;

 : 10 Neither <3808 lo> > have we obeyed <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  to walk <3212 yalak > in his laws <8451 towrah > ,  which <0834 >aher > he set <5414 nathan > before <6440 paniym > us by his servants <5650 <ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > .

 : 11 Yea ,  all <3605 kol > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > have transgressed <5674<abar > thy law <8451 towrah > ,  even by departing <5493 cuwr > ,  that they might not obey <8085 shama< > thy voice <6963 qowl > ;  therefore the curse <0423 >alah > is poured <5413 nathak > upon us ,  and the oath <7621 sh@buw<ah > that  [ is ]  written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > the servant <5650 <ebed > of God <0430 >elohiym > ,  because <3588 kiy > we have sinned <2398 chata> > against him .

 : 12 And he hath confirmed <6965 quwm > his words <1697 dabar > ,  which <0834 >aher > he spake <1696 dabar > against <5921 <al > us ,  and against <5921 <al > our judges <8199 shaphat > that judged <8199 shaphat > us ,  by bringing <0935 bow> > upon us a great <1419 gadowl > evil <7451 ra< > : for under <8478 tachath > the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > hath not been done as hath been done <6213 <asah > upon Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

 : 13 As  [ it is ]  written <3789 kathab > in the law <8451 towrah > of Moses <4872 Mosheh > ,  all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > is come <0935 bow> > upon us : yet made we not our prayer <2470 chalah > before the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  that we might turn <7725 shuwb > from our iniquities <5771 <avon > ,  and understand <7919 sakal > thy truth <0571 >emeth > .

 : 14 Therefore hath the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > watched <8245 shaqad > upon the evil <7451 ra< > ,  and brought <0935 bow> > it upon us : for the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > our God <0430 >elohiym >  [ is ]  righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > in all <3605 kol > his works <4639 ma<aseh > which <0834 >aher > he doeth <6213 <asah > : for we obeyed <8085 shama< > not his voice <6963 qowl > .

 : 15 And now <6258 <attah > ,  O Lord <0136 >Adonay > our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  that hast brought <3318 yatsa> > thy people <5971 <am > forth <3318 yatsa> > out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with a mighty <2389 chazaq > hand <3027 yad > ,  and hast gotten <6213 <asah > thee renown <8034 shem > ,  as at this day <3117 yowm > ;  we have sinned <2398 chata> > ,  we have done wickedly <7561 rasha< > .

 : 16 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  according to all <3605 kol > thy righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,  let thine anger <0639 >aph > and thy fury <2534 chemah > be turned <7725 shuwb > away from thy city <5892 <iyr > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > ,  thy holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > : because <3588 kiy > for our sins <2399 chet> > ,  and for the iniquities <5771 <avon > of our fathers <1> ,  Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > and thy people <5971 <am >  [ are become ]  a reproach <2781 cherpah > to all <3605 kol >  [ that are ]  about <5439 cabiyb > us .

 : 17 Now <6258 <attah > therefore ,  O our God <0430 >elohiym > ,  hear <8085 shama< > the prayer <8605 t@phillah > of thy servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and his supplications <8469 tachanuwn > ,  and cause thy face <6440 paniym > to shine <0215 >owr > upon thy sanctuary <4720 miqdash > that is desolate <8074 shamem > ,  for the Lord s <0136 >Adonay > sake <4616 ma<an > .

 : 18 O my God <0430 >elohiym > ,  incline <5186 natah > thine ear <0241 >ozen > ,  and hear <8085 shama< > ;  open <6491 paqach > thine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and behold <7200 ra>ah > our desolations <8074 shamem > ,  and the city <5892 <iyr > which <0834 >aher > is called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem > : for we do not present <5307 naphal > our supplications <8469 tachanuwn > before <6440 paniym > thee for our righteousnesses <6666 ts@daqah > ,  but for thy great <7227 rab > mercies <7356 racham > .

 : 19 O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  hear <8085 shama< > ;  O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  forgive <5545 calach > ;  O Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  hearken <7181 qashab > and do <6213 <asah > ;  defer <0309 >achar > not ,  for thine own sake <4616 ma<an > ,  O my God <0430 >elohiym > : for thy city <5892 <iyr > and thy people <5971 <am > are called <7121 qara> > by thy name <8034 shem > .

 : 20 .  And whiles <5750 <owd > I  [ was ]  speaking <1696 dabar > ,  and praying <6419 palal > ,  and confessing <3034 yadah > my sin <2403 chatta>ah > and the sin <2403 chatta>ah > of my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and presenting <5307 naphal > my supplication <8467 t@chinnah > before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > my God <0430 >elohiym > for the holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > of my God <0430 >elohiym > ;

 : 21 Yea ,  whiles I  [ was ]  speaking <1696 dabar > in prayer <8605 t@phillah > ,  even the man <0376 >iysh > Gabriel <1403 Gabriy>el > ,  whom <0834 >aher > I had seen <7200 ra>ah > in the vision <2377 chazown > at the beginning <8462 t@chillah > ,  being caused to fly <3286 ya<aph > swiftly <3288 y@aph > ,  touched <5060 naga< > me about the time <6256 <eth > of the evening <6153 <ereb > oblation <4503 minchah > .

 : 22 And he informed <0995 biyn >  [ me ]  ,  and talked <1696 dabar > with me ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  I am now <6258 <attah > come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > to give thee skill <7919 sakal > and understanding <0998 biynah > .

 : 23 At the beginning <8462 t@chillah > of thy supplications <8469 tachanuwn > the commandment <1697 dabar > came <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  and I am come <0935 bow> > to shew <5046 nagad >  [ thee ]  ;  for thou  [ art ]  greatly beloved <2530 chamad > : therefore understand <0995 biyn > the matter <1697 dabar > ,  and consider <0995 biyn > the vision <2377 chazown > .

 : 24 Seventy <7657 shib<iym .  > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > are determined <2852 chathak > upon thy people <5971 <am > and upon thy holy <6944 qodesh > city <5892 <iyr > ,  to finish <3607 kala> > the transgression <6588 pesha< > ,  and to make an end <2856 chatham > of sins <2403 chatta>ah > ,  and to make reconciliation <3722 kaphar > for iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  and to bring <0935 bow> > in everlasting <5769 <owlam > righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,  and to seal <2856 chatham > up the vision <2377 chazown > and prophecy <5030 nabiy> > ,  and to anoint <4886 mashach > the most <6944 qodesh > Holy <6944 qodesh > .

 : 25 Know <3045 yada< > therefore and understand <7919 sakal > ,   [ that ]  fromthe going <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > of the commandment <1697 dabar > to restore <7725 shuwb > and to build <1129 banah > Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > unto the Messiah <4899 mashiyach > the Prince <5057 nagiyd >  [ shall be ]  seven <7651 sheba< > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > ,  and threescore <8346 shishshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > : the street <7339 r@chob > shall be built <1129 banah > again <7725 shuwb > ,  and the wall <2742 charuwts > ,  even in troublous <5916 <akar > times <6256 <eth > .

 : 26 And after <0310 >achar > threescore <8346 shishshiym > and two <8147 sh@nayim > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > shall Messiah <4899 mashiyach > be cut <3772 karath > off ,  but not for himself : and the people <5971 <am > of the prince <5057 nagiyd > that shall come <0935 bow> > shall destroy <7843 shachath > the city <5892 <iyr > and the sanctuary <6944 qodesh > ;  and the end <7093 qets > thereof  [ shall be ]  with a flood <7858 sheteph > ,  and unto the end <7093 qets > of the war <4421 milchamah > desolations <8074 shamem > are determined <2782 charats > .

 : 27 And he shall confirm <1396 gabar > the covenant <1285 b@riyth > with many <7227 rab > for one <0259 >echad > week <7620 shabuwa< > : and in the midst <2677 chetsiy > of the week <7620 shabuwa< > he shall cause the sacrifice <2077 zebach > and the oblation <4503 minchah > to cease <7673 shabath > ,  and for the overspreading <3671 kanaph > of abominations <8251 shiqquwts > he shall make  [ it ]  desolate <8074 shamem > ,  even until <5704 <ad > the consummation <3617 kalah > ,  and that determined <2782 charats > shall be poured <5413 nathak > upon the desolate <8076 shamem > .

 : Daniel 10

 : 1 .  In the third <7969 shalowsh > year <8141 shaneh > of Cyrus <3566 Kowresh > king <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac > a thing <1697 dabar > was revealed <1540 galah > unto Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  whose <0834 >aher > name <8034 shem > was called <7121 qara> > Belteshazzar <1095 Belt@sha>tstsar > ;  and the thing <1697 dabar >  [ was ]  true <0571 >emeth > ,  but the time appointed <6635 tsaba> >  [ was ]  long <1419 gadowl > : and he understood <0995 biyn > the thing <1697 dabar > ,  and had understanding <0998 biynah > of the vision <4758 mar>eh > .

 : 2 In those <1992 hem > days <3117 yowm > I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > was mourning <56> three <7969 shalowsh > full <3117 yowm > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > .

 : 3 I ate <0398 >akal > no <3808 lo> > pleasant <2530 chamad > bread <3899 lechem > ,  neither <3808 lo> > came <0935 bow> > flesh <1320 basar > nor <3808 lo> > wine <3196 yayin > in my mouth <6310 peh > ,  neither <3808 lo> > did I anoint <5480 cuwk > myself at all ,  till <5704 <ad > three <7969 shalowsh > whole <3117 yowm > weeks <7620 shabuwa< > were fulfilled <4390 male> > .

 : 4 And in the four <0702 >arba< > and twentieth <6242 <esriym > day <3117 yowm > of the first <7223 ri>shown > month <2320 chodesh > ,  as I was by the side <3027 yad > of the great <1419 gadowl > river <5104 nahar > ,  which <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  Hiddekel <2313 Chiddeqel > ;

 : 5 Then I lifted <5375 nasa> > up mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ,  and looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  and behold <2009 hinneh > a certain <0259 >echad > man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > in linen <0906 bad > ,  whose loins <4975 mothen >  [ were ]  girded <2296 chagar > with fine gold <3800 kethem > of Uphaz <0210 >Uwphaz > :

 : 6 His body <1472 g@viyah > also  [ was ]  like the beryl <8658 tarshiysh > ,  and his face <6440 paniym > as the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of lightning <1300 baraq > ,  and his eyes <5869 <ayin > as lamps <3940 lappiyd > of fire <0784 >esh > ,  and his arms <2220 z@rowa< > and his feet <4772 marg@lah > like in colour <5869 <ayin > to polished <7044 qalal > brass <5178 n@chosheth > ,  and the voice <6963 qowl > of his words <1697 dabar > like the voice <6963 qowl > of a multitude <1995 hamown > .

 : 7 And I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > alone <0905 bad > saw <7200 ra>ah > the vision <4759 mar>ah > : for the men <0582 >enowsh > that were with me saw <7200 ra>ah > not the vision <4759 mar>ah > ;  but a great <1419 gadowl > quaking <2731 charadah > fell <5307 naphal > upon them ,  so that they fled <1272 barach > to hide <2244> themselves .

 : 8 Therefore I was left <7604 sha>ar > alone <0905 bad > ,  and saw <7200 ra>ah > this great <1419 gadowl > vision <4759 mar>ah > ,  and there remained <7604 sha>ar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > in me : for my comeliness <1935 howd > was turned <2015 haphak > in me into corruption <4889 mashchiyth > ,  and I retained <6113 <atsar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > .

 : 9 Yet heard <8085 shama< > I the voice <6963 qowl > of his words <1697 dabar > : and when I heard <8085 shama< > the voice <6963 qowl > of his words <1697 dabar > ,  then was I in a deep <7290 radam > sleep <7290 radam > on my face <6440 paniym > ,  and my face <6440 paniym > toward the ground <0776 >erets > .

 : 10 .  And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  an hand <3027 yad > touched <5060 naga< >me ,  which set <5128 nuwa< > me upon my knees <1290 berek > and  [ upon ]  the palms <3709 kaph > of my hands <3027 yad > .

 : 11 And he said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  a man <0376 >iysh > greatly beloved <2530 chamad > ,  understand <0995 biyn > the words <1697 dabar > that I speak <1696 dabar > unto thee ,  and stand <5975 <amad > upright <5977 <omed > : for unto thee am I now <6258 <attah > sent <7971 shalach > .  And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > unto me ,  I stood <5975 <amad > trembling <7460> .

 : 12 Then said <0559 >amar > he unto me ,  Fear <3372 yare> > not ,  Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > : for from the first <7223 ri>shown > day <3117 yowm > that thou didst set <5414 nathan > thine heart <3820 leb > to understand <0995 biyn > ,  and to chasten <6031 <anah > thyself before <6440 paniym > thy God <0430 >elohiym > ,  thy words <1697 dabar > were heard <8085 shama< > ,  and I am come <0935 bow> > for thy words <1697 dabar > .

 : 13 But the prince <8269 sar > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth > of Persia <6539 Parac > withstood <5975 <amad > me one <0259 >echad > and twenty <6242 <esriym > days <3117 yowm > : but ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  Michael <4317 Miyka>el > ,  one <0259 >echad > of the chief <7223 ri>shown > princes <8269 sar > ,  came <0935 bow> > to help <5826 <azar > me ;  and I remained <3498 yathar > there <8033 sham > with the kings <4428 melek > of Persia <6539 Parac > .

 : 14 Now I am come <0935 bow> > to make thee understand <0995 biyn > what shall befall <7136 qarah > thy people <5971 <am > in the latter <0319 >achariyth > days <3117 yowm > : for yet <5750 <owd > the vision <2377 chazown >  [ is ]  for  [ many ]  days <3117 yowm > .

 : 15 And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > such <0428 >el - leh > words <1697 dabar > unto me ,  I set <5414 nathan > my face <6440 paniym > toward the ground <0776 >erets > ,  and I became <0481 >alam > dumb <0481 >alam > .

 : 16 And ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,   [ one ]  like the similitude <1823 d@muwth > of the sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam > touched <5060 naga< > my lips <8193 saphah > : then I opened <6605 pathach > my mouth <6310 peh > ,  and spake <1696 dabar > ,  and said <0559 >amar > unto him that stood <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > me ,  O my lord <0113 >adown > ,  by the vision <4758 mar>eh > my sorrows <6735 tsiyr > are turned <2015 haphak > upon me ,  and I have retained <6113 <atsar > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > .

 : 17 For how <1963 heyk > can <3201 yakol > the servant <5650 <ebed > of this <2088 zeh > my lord <0113 >adown > talk <1696 dabar > with this <2088 zeh > my lord <0113 >adown > ?  for as for me ,  straightway <6258 <attah > there remained <5975 <amad > no <3808 lo> > strength <3581 koach > in me ,  neither <3808 lo> > is there breath <5397 n@shamah > left <7604 sha>ar > in me .

 : 18 Then there came again <3284 ya<anah > and touched <5060 naga< > me  [ one ]  like the appearance <4758 mar>eh > of a man <0120 >adam > ,  and he strengthened <2388 chazaq > me ,

 : 19 And said <0559 >amar > ,  O man <0376 >iysh > greatly beloved <2530 chamad > ,  fear <3372 yare> > not : peace <7965 shalowm >  [ be ]  unto thee ,  be strong <2388 chazaq > ,  yea ,  be strong <2388 chazaq > .  And when he had spoken <1696 dabar > unto me ,  I was strengthened <2388 chazaq > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,  Let my lord <0113 >adown > speak <1696 dabar > ;  for thou hast strengthened <2388 chazaq > me .

 : 20 Then said <0559 >amar > he ,  Knowest <3045 yada< > thou wherefore <4100 mah > I come <0935 bow> > unto thee ?  and now <6258 <attah > will I return <7725 shuwb > to fight <3898 lacham > with the prince <8269 sar > of Persia <6539 Parac > : and when I am gone <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  the prince <8269 sar > of Grecia <3120 Yavan > shall come <0935 bow> > .

 : 21 But I will shew <5046 nagad > thee that which is noted <7559 rasham > in the scripture <3791 kathab > of truth <0571 >emeth > : and  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that holdeth <2388 chazaq > with me in these <0428 >el - leh > things ,  but Michael <4317 Miyka>el > your prince <8269 sar > .

 : Daniel 11

 : 1 .  Also I in the first <0259 >echad > year <8141 shaneh > of Darius <1867 Dar<yavesh > the Mede <4075 Maday > ,   [ even ]  I ,  stood <5975 <amad > to confirm <2388 chazaq > and to strengthen <4581 ma<owz > him .

 : 2 And now <6258 <attah > will I shew <5046 nagad > thee the truth <0571 >emeth > .  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there shall stand <5975 <amad > up yet <5750 <owd > three <7969 shalowsh > kings <4428 melek > in Persia <6539 Parac > ;  and the fourth <7243 r@biy<iy > shall be far <1419 gadowl > richer <6238 <ashar > than  [ they ]  all <3605 kol > : and by his strength <2394 chozqah > through his riches <6239 <osher > he shall stir <5782 <uwr > up all <3605 kol > against the realm <4438 malkuwth > of Grecia <3120 Yavan > .

 : 3 And a mighty <1368 gibbowr > king <4428 melek > shall stand <5975 <amad > up ,  that shall rule <4910 mashal > with great <7227 rab > dominion <4474 mimshal > ,  and do <6213 <asah > according to his will <7522 ratsown > .

 : 4 And when he shall stand <5975 <amad > up ,  his kingdom <4438 malkuwth > shall be broken <7665 shabar > ,  and shall be divided <2673 chatsah > toward the four <0702 >arba< > winds <7307 ruwach > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ;  and not to his posterity <0319 >achariyth > ,  nor <3808 lo> > according to his dominion <4915 moshel > which <0834 >aher > he ruled <4910 mashal > : for his kingdom <4438 malkuwth > shall be plucked <5428 nathash > up ,  even for others <0312 >acher > beside <0905 bad > those <0428 >el - leh > .

 : 5 .  And the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be strong <2388 chazaq > ,  and  [ one ]  of his princes <8269 sar > ;  and he shall be strong <2388 chazaq > above <5921 <al > him ,  and have dominion <4910 mashal > ;  his dominion <4474 mimshal >  [ shall be ]  a great <7227 rab > dominion <4474 mimshal > .

 : 6 And in the end <7093 qets > of years <8141 shaneh > they shall join <2266 chabar > themselves together ;  for the king s <4428 melek > daughter <1323 bath > of the south <5045 negeb > shall come <0935 bow> > to the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > to make <6213 <asah > an agreement <4339 meyshar > : but she shall not retain <6113 <atsar > the power <3581 koach > of the arm <2220 z@rowa< > ;  neither <3808 lo> > shall he stand <5975 <amad > ,  nor his arm <2220 z@rowa< > : but she shall be given <5414 nathan > up ,  and they that brought <0935 bow> > her ,  and he that begat <3205 yalad > her ,  and he that strengthened <2388 chazaq > her in  [ these ]  times <6256 <eth > .

 : 7 But out of a branch <5342 netser > of her roots <8328 sheresh > shall  [ one ]  stand <5975 <amad > up in his estate <3653 ken > ,  which shall come <0935 bow> > with an army <2428 chayil > ,  and shall enter <0935 bow> > into the fortress <4581 ma<owz > of the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > ,  and shall deal <6213 <asah > against them ,  and shall prevail <2388 chazaq > :

 : 8 And shall also <1571 gam > carry <0935 bow> > captives <7628 sh@biy > into Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > their gods <0430 >elohiym > ,  with their princes <5257 n@ciyk > ,   [ and ]  with their precious <2532 chemdah > vessels <3627 k@liy > of silver <3701 keceph > and of gold <2091 zahab > ;  and he shall continue <5975 <amad >  [ more ]  years <8141 shaneh > than the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > .

 : 9 So the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > shall come <0935 bow> > into  [ his ]  kingdom <4438 malkuwth > ,  and shall return <7725 shuwb > into <0413 >el > his own land <0127 >adamah > .

 : 10 But his sons <1121 ben > shall be stirred <1624 garah > up ,  and shall assemble <0622 >acaph > a multitude <1995 hamown > of great <7227 rab > forces <2428 chayil > : and  [ one ]  shall certainly come <0935 bow> > ,  and overflow <7857 shataph > ,  and pass <5674 <abar > through : then shall he return <7725 shuwb > ,  and be stirred <1624 garah > up ,   [ even ]  to his fortress <4581 ma<owz > .

 : 11 And the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be moved with choler <4843 marar > ,  and shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > and fight <3898 lacham > with him ,   [ even ]  with the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > : and he shall set <5975 <amad > forth <5975 <amad > a great <7227 rab > multitude <1995 hamown > ;  but the multitude <1995 hamown > shall be given <5414 nathan > into his hand <3027 yad > .

 : 12  [ And ]  when he hath taken <5375 nasa> > away the multitude <1995 hamown > ,  his heart <3824 lebab > shall be lifted <7311 ruwm > up ;  and he shall cast <5307 naphal > down <5307 naphal >  [ many ]  ten <7239 ribbow > thousands <7239 ribbow > : but he shall not be strengthened <5810 <azaz >  [ by it ]  .

 : 13 For the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > shall return <7725 shuwb > ,  and shall set <5975 <amad > forth a multitude <1995 hamown > greater <7227 rab > than <4480 min > the former <7223 ri>shown > ,  and shall certainly come <0935 bow> > after <7093 qets > certain <6256 <eth > years <8141 shaneh > with a great <1419 gadowl > army <2428 chayil > and with much riches <7399 r@kuwsh > .

 : 14 And in those <1992 hem > times <6256 <eth > there shall many <7227 rab > stand <5975 <amad > up against <5921 <al > the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > : also the robbers <6530 p@riyts > of thy people <5971 <am > shall exalt <5375 nasa> > themselves to establish <5975 <amad > the vision <2377 chazown > ;  but they shall fall <3782 kashal > .

 : 15 So the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > shall come <0935 bow> > ,  and cast <8210 shaphak > up a mount <5550 col@lah > ,  and take <3920 lakad > the most fenced <4013 mibtsar > cities <5892 <iyr > : and the arms <2220 z@rowa< > of the south <5045 negeb > shall not withstand <5975 <amad > ,  neither <0369 >ayin > his chosen <4005 mibchar > people <5971 <am > ,  neither <0369 >ayin >  [ shall there be any ]  strength <3581 koach > to withstand <5975 <amad > .

 : 16 But he that cometh <0935 bow> > against <0413 >el > him shall do <6213 <asah > according to his own <7522 ratsown > will <7522 ratsown > ,  and none <0369 >ayin > shall stand <5975 <amad > before <6440 paniym > him : and he shall stand <5975 <amad > in the glorious <6643 ts@biy > land <0776 >erets > ,  which by his hand <3027 yad > shall be consumed <3615 kalah > .

 : 17 He shall also set <7760 suwm > his face <6440 paniym > to enter <0935 bow> > with the strength <8633 toqeph > of his whole <3605 kol > kingdom <4438 malkuwth > ,  and upright <3477 yashar > ones with him ;  thus shall he do <6213 <asah > : and he shall give <5414 nathan > him the daughter <1323 bath > of women <0802 >ishshah > ,  corrupting <7843 shachath > her : but she shall not stand <5975 <amad >  [ on his side ]  ,  neither <3808 lo> > be for him .

 : 18 After this shall he turn <7725 shuwb > his face <6440 paniym > unto the isles <0339 >iy > ,  and shall take <3920 lakad > many <7227 rab > : but a prince <7101 qatsiyn > for his own behalf shall cause the reproach <2781 cherpah > offered by him to cease <7673 shabath > ;  without <1115 biltiy > his own reproach <2781 cherpah > he shall cause  [ it ]  to turn <7725 shuwb > upon him .

 : 19 Then he shall turn <7725 shuwb > his face <6440 paniym > toward the fort <4581 ma<owz > of his own land <0776 >erets > : but he shall stumble <3782 kashal > and fall <5307 naphal > ,  and not be found <4672 matsa> > .

 : 20 Then shall stand <5975 <amad > up in his estate <3653 ken > a raiser <5674 <abar > of taxes <5065 nagas >  [ in ]  the glory <1925 heder > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth > : but within few <0259 >echad > days <3117 yowm > he shall be destroyed <7665 shabar > ,  neither <3808 lo> > in anger <0639 >aph > ,  nor <3808 lo> > in battle <4421 milchamah > .

 : 21 .  And in his estate <3653 ken > shall stand <5975 <amad > up a vile <0959 bazah > person ,  to whom <5921 <al > they shall not give <5414 nathan > the honour <1935 howd > of the kingdom <4438 malkuwth > : but he shall come <0935 bow> > in peaceably <7962 shalvah > ,  and obtain <2388 chazaq > the kingdom <4438 malkuwth > by flatteries <2519 chalaqlaqqah > .

 : 22 And with the arms <2220 z@rowa< > of a flood <7858 sheteph > shall they be overflown <7857 shataph > from before <6440 paniym > him ,  and shall be broken <7665 shabar > ;  yea <1571 gam > ,  also <1571 gam > the prince <5057 nagiyd > of the covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

 : 23 And after the league <2266 chabar >  [ made ]  with him he shall work <6213 <asah > deceitfully <4820 mirmah > : for he shall come <5927 <alah > up ,  and shall become <6105 <atsam > strong <6105 <atsam > with a small <4592 m@<at > people <1471 gowy > .

 : 24 He shall enter <0935 bow> > peaceably <7962 shalvah > even upon the fattest <4924 mashman > places of the province <4082 m@diynah > ;  and he shall do <6213 <asah >  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher > his fathers <1> have not done <6213 <asah > ,  nor his fathers <1>  fathers <1> ;  he shall scatter <0967 bazar > among them the prey <0961 bizzah > ,  and spoil <7998 shalal > ,  and riches <7399 r@kuwsh > :  [ yea ]  ,  and he shall forecast <2803 chashab > his devices <4284 machashabah > against <5921 <al > the strong <4013 mibtsar > holds <4013 mibtsar > ,  even for a time <6256 <eth > .

 : 25 And he shall stir <5782 <uwr > up his power <3581 koach > and his courage <3824 lebab > against <5921 <al > the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > with a great <1419 gadowl > army <2428 chayil > ;  and the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > shall be stirred <1624 garah > up to battle <4421 milchamah > with a very great <1419 gadowl > and mighty <6099 <atsuwm > army <2428 chayil > ;  but he shall not stand <5975 <amad > : for they shall forecast <2803 chashab > devices <4284 machashabah > against <5921 <al > him .

 : 26 Yea ,  they that feed <0398 >akal > of the portion <6598 pathbag > of his meat <6598 pathbag > shall destroy <7665 shabar > him ,  and his army <2428 chayil > shall overflow <7857 shataph > : and many <7227 rab > shall fall <5307 naphal > down slain <2491 chalal > .

 : 27 And both <8147 sh@nayim > these kings <4428 melek >  hearts <3824 lebab >  [ shall be ]  to do mischief <4827 mera< > ,  and they shall speak <1696 dabar > lies <3576 kazab > at <5921 <al > one <0259 >echad > table <7979 shulchan > ;  but it shall not prosper <6743 tsalach > : for yet <5750 <owd > the end <7093 qets >  [ shall be ]  at the time appointed <4150 mow<ed > .

 : 28 Then shall he return <7725 shuwb > into his land <0776 >erets > with great <1419 gadowl > riches <7399 r@kuwsh > ;  and his heart <3824 lebab >  [ shall be ]  against <5921 <al > the holy <6944 qodesh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > ;  and he shall do <6213 <asah >  [ exploits ]  ,  and return <7725 shuwb > to his own land <0776 >erets > .

 : 29 At the time appointed <4150 mow<ed > he shall return <7725 shuwb > ,  and come <0935 bow> > toward the south <5045 negeb > ;  but it shall not be as the former <7223 ri>shown > ,  or as the latter <0314 >acharown > .

 : 30 For the ships <6716 tsiy > of Chittim <3794 Kittiy > shall come <0935 bow> > against him : therefore he shall be grieved <3512 ka>ah > ,  and return <7725 shuwb > ,  and have indignation <2194 za<am > against <5921 <al > the holy <6944 qodesh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > : so shall he do <6213 <asah > ;  he shall even return <7725 shuwb > ,  and have intelligence <0995 biyn > with them that forsake <5800 <azab > the holy <6944 qodesh > covenant <1285 b@riyth > .

 : 31 And arms <2220 z@rowa< > shall stand <5975 <amad > on his part <2506 cheleq > ,  and they shall pollute <2490 chalal > the sanctuary <4720 miqdash > of strength <4581 ma<owz > ,  and shall take <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the daily <8548 tamiyd >  [ sacrifice ]  ,  and they shall place <5414 nathan > the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > that maketh desolate <8074 shamem > .

 : 32 And such as do wickedly <7561 rasha< > against the covenant <1285 b@riyth > shall he corrupt <2610 chaneph > by flatteries <2514 chalaqqah > : but the people <5971 <am > that do know <3045 yada< > their God <0430 >elohiym > shall be strong <2388 chazaq > ,  and do <6213 <asah >  [ exploits ]  .

 : 33 And they that understand <7919 sakal > among the people <5971 <am > shall instruct <0995 biyn > many <7227 rab > : yet they shall fall <3782 kashal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and by flame <3852 lehabah > ,  by captivity <7628 sh@biy > ,  and by spoil <0961 bizzah > ,   [ many ]  days <3117 yowm > .

 : 34 Now when they shall fall <3782 kashal > ,  they shall be holpen <5826 <azar > with a little <4592 m@<at > help <5828 <ezer > : but many <7227 rab > shall cleave <3867 lavah > to them with flatteries <2519 chalaqlaqqah > .

 : 35 And  [ some ]  of them of understanding <7919 sakal > shall fall <3782 kashal > ,  to try <6884 tsaraph > them ,  and to purge <1305 barar > ,  and to make  [ them ]  white <3835 laban > ,   [ even ]  to the time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets > : because  [ it is ]  yet <5750 <owd > for a time appointed <4150 mow<ed > .

 : 36 And the king <4428 melek > shall do <6213 <asah > according to his will<7522 ratsown > ;  and he shall exalt <7311 ruwm > himself ,  and magnify <1431 gadal > himself above <5921 <al > every <3605 kol > god <0410 >el > ,  and shall speak <1696 dabar > marvellous <6381 pala> > things against <5921 <al > the God <0410 >el > of gods <0410 >el > ,  and shall prosper <6743 tsalach > till <5704 <ad > the indignation <2195 za<am > be accomplished <3615 kalah > : for that that is determined <2782 charats > shall be done <6213 <asah > .

 : 37 Neither <3808 lo> > shall he regard <0995 biyn > the God <0430 >elohiym > of his fathers <1> ,  nor the desire <2532 chemdah > of women <0802 >ishshah > ,  nor <3808 lo> > regard <0995 biyn > any <3605 kol > god <0433 >elowahh > : for he shall magnify <1431 gadal > himself above <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > .

 : 38 But in his estate <3653 ken > shall he honour <3513 kabad > the God <0433 >elowahh > of forces <4581 ma<owz > : and a god <0433 >elowahh > whom <0834 >aher > his fathers <1> knew <3045 yada< > not shall he honour <3513 kabad > with gold <2091 zahab > ,  and silver <3701 keceph > ,  and with precious <3368 yaqar > stones <68> ,  and pleasant <2530 chamad > things .

 : 39 Thus shall he do <6213 <asah > in the most <4581 ma<owz > strong <4581 ma<owz > holds <4013 mibtsar > with a strange <5236 nekar > god <0433 >elowahh > ,  whom <0834 >aher > he shall acknowledge <5234 nakar >  [ and ]  increase <7235 rabah > with glory <3519 kabowd > : and he shall cause them to rule <4910 mashal > over many <7227 rab > ,  and shall divide <2505 chalaq > the land <0127 >adamah > for gain <4242 m@chiyr > .

 : 40 And at the time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets > shall the king <4428 melek > of the south <5045 negeb > push <5055 nagach > at him : and the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown > shall come <8175 sa<ar > against <5921 <al > him like a whirlwind <8175 sa<ar > ,  with chariots <7393 rekeb > ,  and with horsemen <6571 parash > ,  and with many <7227 rab > ships <0591 >oniyah > ;  and he shall enter <0935 bow> > into the countries <0776 >erets > ,  and shall overflow <7857 shataph > and pass <5674 <abar > over <5674 <abar > .

 : 41 He shall enter <0935 bow> > also into the glorious <6643 ts@biy > land<0776 >erets > ,  and many <7227 rab >  [ countries ]  shall be overthrown <3782 kashal > : but these <0428 >el - leh > shall escape <4422 malat > out of his hand <3027 yad > ,   [ even ]  Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  and the chief <7225 re>shiyth > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > .

 : 42 He shall stretch <7971 shalach > forth his hand <3027 yad > also upon thecountries <0776 >erets > : and the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > shall not escape <6413 p@leytah > .

 : 43 But he shall have power <4910 mashal > over the treasures <4362 mikman > of gold <2091 zahab > and of silver <3701 keceph > ,  and over all <3605 kol > the precious <2530 chamad > things of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > : and the Libyans <3864 Luwbiy > and the Ethiopians <3569 Kuwshiy >  [ shall be ]  at his steps <4703 mits<ad > .

 : 44 But tidings <8052 sh@muw<ah > out of the east <4217 mizrach > and out of the north <6828 tsaphown > shall trouble <0926 bahal > him : therefore he shall go <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > with great <1419 gadowl > fury <2534 chemah > to destroy <8045 shamad > ,  and utterly to make away <2763 charam > many <7227 rab > .

 : 45 And he shall plant <5193 nata< > the tabernacles <0168 >ohel > of his palace <0643 >appeden > between <0996 beyn > the seas <3220 yam > in the glorious <6643 ts@biy > holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > ;  yet he shall come <0935 bow> > to his end <7093 qets > ,  and none <0369 >ayin > shall help <5826 <azar > him .

 : Daniel 12

 : 1 .  And at that time <6256 <eth > shall Michael <4317 Miyka>el > stand <5975 <amad > up ,  the great <1419 gadowl > prince <8269 sar > which standeth <5975 <amad > for the children <1121 ben > of thy people <5971 <am > : and there shall be a time <6256 <eth > of trouble <6869 tsarah > ,  such <0834 >aher > as never <3808 lo> > was since there was a nation <1471 gowy >  [ even ]  to that same <1931 huw> > time <6256 <eth > : and at that time <6256 <eth > thy people <5971 <am > shall be delivered <4422 malat > ,  every <3605 kol > one that shall be found <4672 matsa> > written <3789 kathab > in the book <5612 cepher > .

 : 2 And many <7227 rab > of them that sleep <3463 yashen > in the dust <6083 <aphar > of the earth <0127 >adamah > shall awake <6974 quwts > ,  some <0428 >el - leh > to everlasting <5769 <owlam > life <2416 chay > ,  and some <0428 >el - leh > to shame <2781 cherpah >  [ and ]  everlasting <5769 <owlam > contempt <1860 d@ra>own > .

 : 3 And they that be wise <7919 sakal > shall shine <2094 zahar > as the brightness <2096 zohar > of the firmament <7549 raqiya< > ;  and they that turn many <7227 rab > to righteousness <6663 tsadaq > as the stars <3556 kowkab > for ever <5769 <owlam > and ever <5703 <ad > .

 : 4 But thou ,  O Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > ,  shut <5640 catham > up the words <1697 dabar > ,  and seal <2856 chatham > the book <5612 cepher > ,   [ even ]  to the time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets > : many <7227 rab > shall run <7751 shuwt > to and fro <7751 shuwt > ,  and knowledge <1847 da<ath > shall be increased <7235 rabah > .

 : 5 .  Then I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > looked <7200 ra>ah > ,  and ,  behold <2009 hinneh > ,  there stood <5975 <amad > other <0312 >acher > two <8147 sh@nayim > ,  the one <0259 >echad > on this <2008 hennah > side of the bank <8193 saphah > of the river <2975 y@<or > ,  and the other <0259 >echad > on that side of the bank <8193 saphah > of the river <2975 y@<or > .

 : 6 And  [ one ]  said <0559 >amar > to the man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > in linen <0906 bad > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  upon the waters <4325 mayim > of the river <2975 y@<or > ,  How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad >  [ shall it be to ]  the end <7093 qets > of these wonders <6382 pele> > ?

 : 7 And I heard <8085 shama< > the man <0376 >iysh > clothed <3847 labash > in linen <0906 bad > ,  which <0834 >aher >  [ was ]  upon the waters <4325 mayim > of the river <2975 y@<or > ,  when he held <7311 ruwm > up his right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > and his left <8040 s@mo>wl > hand <8040 s@mo>wl > unto heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and sware <7650 shaba< > by him that liveth <2416 chay > for ever <5769 <owlam > that  [ it shall be ]  for a time <4150 mow<ed > ,  times <4150 mow<ed > ,  and an half <2677 chetsiy > ;  and when he shall have accomplished <3615 kalah > to scatter <5310 naphats > the power <3027 yad > of the holy <6944 qodesh > people <5971 <am > ,  all <3605 kol > these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  shall be finished <3615 kalah > .

 : 8 And I heard <8085 shama< > ,  but I understood <0995 biyn > not : then said <0559 >amar > I ,  O my Lord <0113 >adown > ,  what <4100 mah >  [ shall be ]  the end <0319 >achariyth > of these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  ?

 : 9 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Go <3212 yalak > thy way ,  Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > : for the words <1697 dabar >  [ are ]  closed <5640 catham > up and sealed <2856 chatham > till <5704 <ad > the time <6256 <eth > of the end <7093 qets > .
