forth to kill the wise men of Bavel:
15 He answered and said to Ariyoch the melech's captain,
Why is the decree given in such haste from the melech?
Then Ariyoch made the thing known to Daniyel.
16 Then Daniyel went in, and desired of the melech that
he would give him time, and that he would explain to the
melech the interpretation.
17 Then Daniyel went to his bayit, and made the thing
known to Hananyah, Misha-El, and Azaryah, his
companions:
18 That they would desire rachamim of the tvkt of the
shamayim concerning this secret; that Daniyel and his
companions should not perish with the rest of the wise
men of Bavel.
19 Then was the secret revealed to Daniyel in a night
vision. Then Daniyel blessed the tvkt of the shamayim.
20 Daniyel answered and said, Blessed be the Name of
tvkt le-olam-va-ed: for chochmah and might are His:
21 And He changes the times and the seasons: He
removes melechim, and sets up melechim: He gives
chochmah to the wise, and da’at to them that have binah:
22 He reveals the deep and secret things: He knows what
is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.
23 I thank You, and hallel You, O tvkt of my ahvot,
who has given me chochmah and might, and has made
known to me now what we have desired of You: for You
have now made known to us the melech's matter.
24 Therefore Daniyel went in to Ariyoch, whom the
melech had ordained to destroy the wise men of Bavel: he
went and said to him; Destroy not the wise men of Bavel:
bring me in before the melech, and I will explain to the
melech the interpretation.
25 Then Ariyoch brought in Daniyel before the melech in
haste and said to him, I have found a man of the captives
of Yahudah, 2690 that will make known to the melech the
interpretation.
26 The melech answered and said to Daniyel, whose
name was Belteshatzar, Are you able to make known to
me the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?
27 Daniyel answered in the presence of the melech, and
said, The secret, which the melech has demanded, cannot
be declared by the wise men, the astrologers, the
magicians, or the soothsayers.
28 But there is an tvkt in the shamayim that reveals
secrets, and makes known to the melech Nevuchadnetzar
what shall be in the latter-days. Your dreams, and the
visions of your head upon your bed, were these;
29 As for you, O melech, your thoughts came into your
mind upon your bed, what should come to pass in the
future: and He that reveals secrets makes known to you
what shall come to pass.
30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any
chochmah that I may have more than any others, but for
their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the
melech, and that you might know the thoughts of your
lev.
31 You, O melech, saw, and saw a great image. This great
image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before you;
and the form of it was awesome.
32 This image's head was of fine gold, its breast and its
strong ones of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,
33 Its legs of iron, its feet part iron and part clay.
34 You saw it until a Stone was cut out without hands,
DANIYEL - DANIEL
- 379 -
which smote the image upon its feet that were of iron and
clay, and broke them to pieces.
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 threshing floors; 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 olam.
36 This is the dream; and now we 2691 will tell the
interpretation of it to the melech.
37 You, O melech, are a melech of melechim: for the
tvkt of the shamayim has given you a malchut, power,
and strength, and tifereth.
38 And wherever the children of men dwell, the beasts of
the field and the fowls of the shamayim He has given all
this into your hands, and has made you ruler over them
all. You are this head of gold. 2692
39 And after you shall arise another malchut inferior to
yours, 2693 and another third malchut of brass, which shall
bear rule over all the olam. 2694
40 And the fourth malchut 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. 2695
41 And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters'
clay, and part of iron, this fifth malchut 2696 shall be
divided; 2697 but there shall be in it some of the strength
of the iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with
muddy clay.
42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part
of clay, so this malchut shall be partly strong, and partly
broken. 2698
43 And whereas you saw iron mixed with muddy clay,
they shall mingle 2699 themselves with the zera of men:
but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is
not mixed with clay. 2700
44 And in the days of these melechim shall the tvkt of
the shamayim set up a malchut, which shall never be
destroyed: 2701 and the malchut shall not be left to other
people, 2702 but it shall break in pieces and consume all
these malchutim, and it shall stand le-olam-va-ed. 2703
45 For as much as you saw that the Stone was cut out of
the mountain without hands, 2704 and that it broke in
pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the
gold; the great tvkt has made known to the melech
what shall come to pass in the future: and the dream is
certain, and the interpretation of it sure.
46 Then the melech Nevuchadnetzar fell upon his face,
and worshipped Daniyel, and commanded that they
should offer an offering and sweet incense to him.
47 The melech answered to Daniyel, and said, Of an emet
it is, that your tvkt is the tvkt of all Elohim, and a
Master of Melechim, and a revealer of secrets, seeing you
could reveal this secret.
48 Then the melech made Daniyel a great man, and gave
him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole
province of Bavel, and chief of the nobles over all the
wise men of Bavel.
49 Then Daniyel requested of the melech, and he set
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, over the affairs of
the province of Bavel: but Daniyel sat in the very gate of
the melech.
