130 THE CUNEIFORM INSCRIPTIONS AND TEE 0. T. arises in part from mere misunderstandings. Thus, what the legend intended to apply to the foes of the Chaldaeans, was referred to the Chaldaean monarch , Nebukadnezzar. Also what the legend meant to be a stay among animals, was transformed into a life and a growth resembling that of animals. On the other hand, it also arises in part from the endeavour of the apocalypse of Daniel to employ the legend, which it misunderstood in its most important fea- tures, to illustrate the principle which the prophecy enun- ciates, that the mightiest on earth are completely in the power of the Most High, whose action is truth and whose ways are uprightness, and who is able to bring low those 433 who walk in arrogance (Dan. IV. 22, 29. 34). The representation in the Book of Daniel is the Judaeo- apo- calyptic reconstruction of the Babylonian popular myth, preserved to us in its relatively more original shape by Abydenus." See my essay : "The legend of Nebukad- nezzar's frenzy" in the Jahrbiicher fiir protestant. Theologie. 1881, pp. 618 — 629, especially p. 628. V. 1. Belshazzar (n^NI^'^S) , the king, gave a great banquet etc. The legend of the Babylonian king Bel- shazzar is not simply invented by the author of this book. A Babylonian prince, bearing the above name, actually existed. He was the first - born son of Nabunit (the Nabti-n^'id of the inscriptions *) and his Babylonian name was Bt'l-s ar-usur i. e.
