Chapter 2

Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

Dan 2:1 AND in the second year of the reign of Nevukadne’tstsar, Nevukadne’tstsar dreamed dreams, wherewith his ruach (spirit) was troubled, and his sleep broke from him.

Dan 2:2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Kasdiym, for to show the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

Dan 2:3 And the king said unto them, I have dreamed את eth-a dream, and my ruach was troubled to know the dream.

Dan 2:4 Then spoke the Kasdiym to the king in Aramiyth, O king, live forever: tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.

Dan 2:5 The king answered and said to the Kasdiym, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

Dan 2:6 But if ye show the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore show me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.

Dan 2:7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation of it.

Dan 2:8 The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.

Dan 2:9 But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can show me the interpretation thereof.

Dan 2:10 The Kasdiym answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can show the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Kasdiy.

Dan 2:11 And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except the elohiym, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

Dan 2:12 For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babel.

Dan 2:13 And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniy’el and his fellows to be slain.

Dan 2:14 Then Daniy’el answered with counsel and wisdom to Aryok the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babel:

Dan 2:15 He answered and said to Aryok the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Aryok made the thing known to Daniy’el.

Dan 2:16 Then Daniy’el went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would show the king the interpretation.

God Reveals Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream

Dan 2:17 Then Daniy’el went to his house, and made the thing known to Chananyahu, Miysha’el, and Azaryahu, his companions:

Dan 2:18 That they would desire mercies of the ELOAH of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniy’el and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babel.

Dan 2:19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniy’el in a night vision. Then Daniy’el blessed the ELOAH of heaven.

Dan 2:20 Daniy’el answered and said, Blessed be the name of ELOAH forever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Dan 2:21 And he changes the times and the seasons: he removes kings, and sets up kings: he gives wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

Dan 2:22 He reveals the deep and secret things: he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him.

Dan 2:23 I thank you, and praise you, O ELOAH of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has made known unto me now what we desired of you: for you have now made known unto us the king’s matter.

Dan 2:24 Therefore Daniy’el went in unto Aryok, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babel: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babel: bring me in before the king, and I will show unto the king the interpretation.

Dan 2:25 Then Aryok brought in Daniy’el before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Yahudah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.

Dan 2:26 The king answered and said to Daniy’el, whose name was Ba`altesha’tstsar, Are you able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?

Dan 2:27 Daniy’el answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, cannot show unto the king;

Dan 2:28 But there is an ELOAH in heaven that reveals secrets, and makes known to the king Nevukadne’tstsar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, are these;

Dan 2:29 As for you, O king, your thoughts came into your mind upon your bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass.

Dan 2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that you might know the thoughts of your heart.

Daniel Interprets the Dream

Dan 2:31 You, O king, saw, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and the form thereof was terrible.

Dan 2:32 This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

Dan 2:33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

Dan 2:34 You saw till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them to pieces.

Dan 2:35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

Dan 2:36 This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

Dan 2:37 You, O king, are a king of kings: for the ELOAH of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.

Dan 2:38 And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heavens has he given into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.

Dan 2:39 And after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to you, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

Dan 2:40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things: and as iron that breaks all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.

Dan 2:41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

Dan 2:42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

Dan 2:43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.

Dan 2:44 And in the days of these kings shall the ELOAH of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.

Dan 2:45 Forasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great ELOAH has made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Daniel Is Promoted

Dan 2:46 Then the king Nevukadne’tstsar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniy’el, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

Dan 2:47 The king answered unto Daniy’el, and said, Of a truth it is, that your ELOAH is an ELOAH of elohiym, and an ADONAI of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you could reveal this secret.

Dan 2:48 Then the king made Daniy’el a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babel, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babel.

Dan 2:49 Then Daniy’el requested of the king, and he set Shadrak, Meyshak, and Aved Nego, over the affairs of the province of Babel: but Daniy’el sat in the gate of the king.

 

Chapter 7

 

Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts

Dan 7:1 IN the first year of Ba`alsha’tstsar king of Babel Daniy’el had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.

Dan 7:2 Daniy’el spoke and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heavens strove upon the Great Sea.

Dan 7:3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.

Dan 7:4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle’s wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made to stand upon the feet as a man, and a man’s heart was given to it.

Dan 7:5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.

Dan 7:6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

Dan 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the remnant with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

Dan 7:8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

The Ancient of Days Reigns

Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool (Chanok 46:1; 71:12; Chizayon 1:14): his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Dan 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: a thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the cepheriym were opened.

Dan 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.

Dan 7:12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a period of time.

The Son of Man Is Given Dominion

Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought him near before him.

Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Daniel’s Vision Interpreted

Dan 7:15 I Daniy’el was grieved in my ruach (spirit) in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

Dan 7:16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the Truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpreta tion of the things.

Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.

Dan 7:18 But the qodeshiym (Saints. Those who are set apart.) of EL ELYON shall take the Kingdom, and possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

Dan 7:19 Then I would know the Truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the remnant with his feet;

Dan 7:20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.

Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the qodeshiym, and prevailed against them;

Dan 7:22 Until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given to the qodeshiym of EL ELYON; and the time came that the qodeshiym (Chanok 59:1) possessed the Kingdom.

Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Dan 7:25 And he shall speak great words against EL ELYON, and shall wear out the qodeshiym of EL ELYON, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a period of time and times and the dividing of time.

Dan 7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

Dan 7:27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the qodeshiym of EL ELYON, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Dan 7:28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniy’el, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Chapter 8

Daniel’s Vision of the Ram and the Goat

Dan 8:1 IN the third year of the reign of king Ba`alsha’tstsar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniy’el, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

Dan 8:2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Eylam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.

Dan 8:3 Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

Dan 8:4 I saw את eth-the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

Dan 8:5 And as I was considering, behold, a he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

Dan 8:6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

Dan 8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote את eth-the ram, and broke את eth-his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Dan 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

Dan 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

Dan 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

Dan 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

Dan 8:12 And a host was given him against the daily by reason of transgression, and it cast down the Truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered.

Dan 8:13 Then I heard one qodeshiy speaking, and another qodeshiy (Saint. One who is set apart.) said unto that certain qodeshiy which spoke, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

Dan 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred mornings and evenings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

The Interpretation of the Vision

Dan 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniy’el, had seen את eth-the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

Dan 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gavriy’el, make this man to understand את eth-the vision.

Dan 8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of A’dam: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

Dan 8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

Dan 8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make you know את eth what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

Dan 8:20 The ram which you saw having two horns are the kings of Madai and Persia.

Dan 8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Yavan: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

Dan 8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

Dan 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and under standing dark sentences, shall stand up.

Dan 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

Dan 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Dan 8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut you up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

Dan 8:27 And I Daniy’el fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did את eth-the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

Chapter 11

The Kings of the South and the North

Dan 11:1 ALSO I in the first year of Dareyavesh the Madai, even I, stood to confirm and to streng then him.

Dan 11:2 And now will I show you the Truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against את eth the realm of Yavan.

Dan 11:3 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

Dan 11:4 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

Dan 11:5 And ha’melek Ha’Negev (the king of the south) shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

Dan 11:6 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the daughter of ha’melek Ha’Ne gev shall come to ha’melek Ha’Tsa phon (the king of the north; or the hidden king; Yahusha 13:27) to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

Dan 11:7 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of ha’melek Ha’Tsaphon, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:

Dan 11:8 And shall also carry captives into Mitsrayim their elohiym, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than ha’melek Ha’Tsaphon.

Dan 11:9 So ha’melek Ha’Negev shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.

Dan 11:10 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

Dan 11:11 And ha’melek Ha’Negev shall be moved with bitterness, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with ha’melek Ha’Tsaphon: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

Dan 11:12 And when he has taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

Dan 11:13 For ha’melek Ha’Tsaphon (the king of the the north; or the hidden king; Yahusha 13:27) shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

Dan 11:14 And in those times there shall many stand up against ha’melek Ha’Negev (the king of the south): also the rebellious children of your people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

Dan 11:15 So ha’melek Ha’Tsaphon shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the Negev shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

Dan 11:16 But he that comes against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

Dan 11:17 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.

Dan 11:18 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.

Dan 11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.

Dan 11:20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

Dan 11:21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.

Dan 11:22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

Dan 11:23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.

Dan 11:24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.

Dan 11:25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against ha’melek Negev with a great army; and ha’melek Ha’Negev shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

Dan 11:26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.

Dan 11:27 And both these kings’ hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.

Dan 11:28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.

Dan 11:29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the Negev; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

Dan 11:30 For the ships of Kittiym shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.

Dan 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily lifting up, and they shall place the abomination of desolation.

Dan 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their ELOHIYM shall be strong, and do exploits.

Dan 11:33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.

Dan 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.

Dan 11:35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every el, and shall speak marvellous things against the EL of elohiym, and shall prosper till the indignation be accom plished: for that that is determined shall be done.

Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the elohai of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any eloah: for he shall magnify himself above all.

Dan 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour an eloah of forces: and an eloah whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.

Dan 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strongholds with a strange eloah, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

Dan 11:40 And at the time of the end shall ha’melek Ha’Negev (the king of the south) push with him: and ha’melek Ha’Tsaphon (the king of the the north; or the hidden king; Yahusha 13:27) shall come over him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

Dan 11:41 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Mo’av, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

Dan 11:42 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Mitsrayim shall not escape.

Dan 11:43 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Mitsrayim: and the Libyans and the Kushiym shall be at his steps.

Dan 11:44 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
