Daniel 1

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@ 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

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

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

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>

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

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

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

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

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

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 > the people <5972 <am > heard <8086 sh@ma< > the

sound <7032 qal > of the cornet <7162 qeren >, flute <4953

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@, that every <3606 kol > man <0606 >enash > that

shall hear <8086 sh@ma< > the sound <7032 qal > of the cornet

sackbut <5443 cabb@ka> >, psaltery <6460 p@canteriyn >, and

dulcimer <5481 cuwmpown@yah >, and all <3606 kol > kinds <2177

and worship <5457 c@gid > the golden <1722 d@hab > image <6755

11 And whoso falleth <5308 n@phal > not down and worshippeth

<5457 c@gid >, [that] he should be cast <7412 r@mah > into the

midst <1459 gav > of a burning <3345 y@qad > fiery <5135 nuwr >

furnace <0861 >attuwn >.

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

<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

<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 >,

<5648 <abad >; [well]: but if <2006 hen > ye worship <5457 c@gid

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

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

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

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

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

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

fourth <7244 r@biy<ay > is like <1821 d@mah > the Son <1247 bar

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

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

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

singed <2761 charak >, neither <3809 la> > were their coats

<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

<0426 >elahh >.

29 Therefore I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@, 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

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

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@ 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

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

[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

<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

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

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

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

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

sha<ah >, and his thoughts <7476 ra<yown > troubled <0927 b@hal

<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

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

chalaq > [be] with the beasts <2423 cheyva> > of the field <1251

bar >, till <5704 <ad > seven <7655 shib<ah > times <5732 <iddan

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

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

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>

<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

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

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

<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

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

[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

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

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

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@ 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

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

7 The king <4430 melek > cried <7123 q@ra> > aloud <2429 chayil

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

the interpretation <6591 p@shar > thereof, shall be clothed

<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 >,

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

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>

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

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

<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

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

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

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

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

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

<6647 ts@ba< > with the dew <2920 tal > of heaven <8065 shamayin

<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

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>

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

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

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

2 And over <5924 <ella> > these <4481 min > three <8532 t@lath

[was] first <2298 chad >: that the princes <0324 >achashdarpan >

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

forasmuch as he [was] faithful <0540 >aman >, neither <3809 la>

5 Then <0116 >edayin > said <0560 >amar > these <0479 >illek >

men <1400 g@bar >, We shall not find <7912 sh@kach > any <3606

6. Then <0116 >edayin > these <0459 >illeyn > presidents <5632

carek > and princes <0324 >achashdarpan > assembled <7284 r@gash

7 All <3606 kol > the presidents <5632 carek > of the kingdom

<4437 malkuw >, the governors <5461 cagan >, and the princes

<0324 >achashdarpan >, the counsellors <1907 haddabar >, and the

<6540 Parac >, which <1768 diy > altereth <5709 <ada> > not.

9 Wherefore king <4430 melek > Darius <1868 Dar@yavesh > signed

<7560 r@sham > the writing <3792 k@thab > and the decree <0633

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.

11. Then <0116 >edayin > these <0479 >illek > men <1400 g@bar >

assembled <7284 r@gash >, and found <7912 sh@kach > Daniel <1841

Daniye>l > praying <1156 b@<a> > and making supplication <2604

chanan > before <6925 qodam > his God <0426 >elahh >.

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

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

<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

<4430 melek > establisheth <6966 quwm > may be changed <8133

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

and went <0236 >azal > in haste <0927 b@hal > unto the den <1358

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

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

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

<0772 >ara< >; Peace <8001 sh@lam > be multiplied <7680 s@ga> >

unto you.

26 I make <7761 suwm > a decree <2942 t@, That in every

<3606 kol > dominion <7985 sholtan > of my kingdom <4437 malkuw

God <0426 >elahh > of Daniel <1841 Daniye>l >: for he [is] the

living <2417 chay > God <0426 >elahh >, and stedfast <7011 qayam

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

<1841 Daniye>l > from the power <3028 yad > of the lions <0744

28 So this <1836 den > Daniel <1841 Daniye>l > prospered <6744

Daniel 7

1. In the first <2298 chad > year <8140 sh@nah > of Belshazzar

<1113 Belsha>tstsar > king <4430 melek > of Babylon <0895 Babel

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 And there was given <3052 y@hab > him dominion <7985 sholtan

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

him the truth <3330 yatstsiyb > of all <3606 kol > this <1836

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<

<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

<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

the whole <3606 kol > earth <0772 >ara< >, and shall tread <1759

24 And the ten <6236 <asar > horns <7162 qeren > out of this

shall subdue <8214 sh@phal > three <8532 t@lath > kings <4430

25 And he shall speak <4449 m@lal > [great] words <4406 millah

his hand <3028 yad > until <5704 <ad > a time <5732 <iddan > and

times <5732 <iddan > and the dividing <6387 p@lag > of time

26 But the judgment <1780 diyn > shall sit <3488 y@thiyb >, and

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

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

stand <5975 <amad > up against <5921 <al > the Prince <8269 sar

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

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

Yirm@yah > the prophet <5030 nabiy> >, that he would accomplish

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

keep <8104 shamar > his commandments <4687 mitsvah >;

5 We have sinned <2398 chata> >, and have committed <5753 <avah

and have rebelled <4775 marad >, even by departing <5493 cuwr >

from thy precepts <4687 mitsvah > and from thy judgments <4941

6 Neither <3808 lo> > have we hearkened <8085 shama< > unto thy

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

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

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

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

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

Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > with a mighty <2389 chazaq > hand <3027

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

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

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

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

<2377 chazown > at the beginning <8462 t@chillah >, being caused

to fly <3286 ya<aph > swiftly <3288 y@aph >, touched <5060 naga<

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

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>

<3722 kaphar > for iniquity <5771 <avon >, and to bring <0935

25 Know <3045 yada< > therefore and understand <7919 sakal >,

[that] from the going <4161 mowtsa> > forth <4161 mowtsa> > of

the commandment <1697 dabar > to restore <7725 shuwb > and to

26 And after <0310 >achar > threescore <8346 shishshiym > and

the people <5971 <am > of the prince <5057 nagiyd > that shall

come <0935 bow> > shall destroy <7843 shachath > the city <5892

27 And he shall confirm <1396 gabar > the covenant <1285

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

<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>

<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

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

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

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

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>

with the king <4428 melek > of the north <6828 tsaphown >: and

he shall set <5975 <amad > forth <5975 <amad > a great <7227 rab

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>

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

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

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

<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

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

shalvah >, and obtain <2388 chazaq > the kingdom <4438 malkuwth

22 And with the arms <2220 z@rowa< > of a flood <7858 sheteph >

shall they be overflown <7857 shataph > from before <6440 paniym

<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

<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

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

<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

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 the countries <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

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

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

<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

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

cherpah > [and] everlasting <5769 <owlam > contempt <1860

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

5. Then I Daniel <1840 Daniye>l > looked <7200 ra>ah >, and,

behold <2009 hinneh >, there stood <5975 <amad > other <0312

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]

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

heaven <8064 shamayim >, and sware <7650 shaba< > by him that

liveth <2416 chay > for ever <5769 <owlam > that [it shall be]

8 And I heard <8085 shama< >, but I understood <0995 biyn > not:

then said <0559 >amar > I, O my Lord <0113 >adown >, what <4100

9 And he said <0559 >amar >, Go <3212 yalak > thy way, Daniel

10 Many <7227 rab > shall be purified <1305 barar >, and made

but the wise <7919 sakal > shall understand <0995 biyn >.

11 And from the time <6256 <eth > [that] the daily <8548 tamiyd

the abomination <8251 shiqquwts > that maketh desolate <8074

12 Blessed <0835 >esher > [is] he that waiteth <2442 chakah >,

13 But go <3212 yalak > thou thy way <1870 derek > till the end

of the days <3117 yowm >.
