wonders! His malchut is an everlasting malchut, and His
dominion is from generation to generation.
4 I Nevuchadnetzar was at rest in my bayit, and
flourishing in my palace:
5 I saw a dream that made me afraid, and the thoughts
upon my bed and the visions in my head troubled me.
6 Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men
of Bavel before me that they might make known to me
the interpretation of the dream.
7 Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream to
all of them; but they did not make known to me the
interpretation of it.
8 But lastly Daniyel came in before me, whose name was
Belteshazzar, according to the name of my tvkt, and in
whom is the Ruach of the kadosh tvkt: and in his
presence I told him the dream, saying,
9 O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I
know that the Ruach of the kadosh tvkt is in you, and
no secret is too difficult for you, tell me the visions of my
dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 This then was the vision of my head on my bed; I saw
an eytz in the middle of the olam, and the height of it was
great.
11 The eytz grew, and was strong, and the height of it
reached to the shamayim, and the sight of it to the ends of
all the olam:
12 The leaves of it were beautiful, and the fruit of it
abundant, and in it was food for all: the beasts of the field
had shadow under it, and the fowls of the shamayim
dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed by it.
13 I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, see,
a Watcher and a Kadosh-One came down from the
shamayim;
14 He cried aloud, and said this, Cut down the eytz, and
cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its
fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls
from its branches:
15 Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the olam,
even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of
the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the shamayim,
and let its portion be with the beasts in the grass of the
olam:
16 Let his lev be changed from a man's lev, and let a
beast's lev be given to him; and let seven times pass over
him.
17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the
demand by the word of the kadosh ones: to the intent that
the living may know that the Most High rules in the
malchut of men, and gives it to whoever He desires, and
sets up over it the lowest of men.
18 This dream I melech Nevuchadnetzar have seen. Now
you, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation of it,
because all the wise men of my malchut are not able to
make known to me the interpretation: but you are able;
for the Ruach of the kadosh tvkt is in you.
19 Then Daniyel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was
astonished for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him.
The melech spoke, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the
dream, or the interpretation of it, alarm you. Belteshazzar
answered and said, My master, the dream is for them that
hate you, and the interpretation of it is for your enemies.
20 The eytz that you saw, which grew, and was strong,
DANIYEL - DANIEL
- 381 -
whose height reached to the shamayim, and the sight of it
to all the olam;
21 Whose leaves were beautiful, and the fruit of it
abundant, and in it was food for all; under which the
beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the
fowls of the shamayim had their dwelling:
22 It is you, O melech, that are grown and become strong:
for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the shamayim,
and your dominion to the ends of the olam.
23 And whereas the melech saw a watcher and a kadosh
one coming down from the shamayim, and saying, Cut
the eytz down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the
roots of it in the olam, even with a band of iron and brass, in
the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of
the shamayim, and let his portion be with the beasts of the
field, until seven times pass over him;
24 This is the interpretation, O melech, and this is the
decree of the Most High, which is come upon my master
the melech:
25 That they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling
shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make
you to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet you with the
dew of the shamayim, and seven times shall pass over
you, until you know that the Most High rules in the
malchut of men, and He gives it to whoever He desires.
26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of
the eytz roots; your malchut will remain yours, after you
come to know that the shamayim do rule.
27 Wherefore, O melech, let my counsel be acceptable to
you, and break off your sins by tzedakah, and your
iniquities by showing rachamim to the poor; if it may lead
to a lengthening of your shalom and prosperity.
28 All this came upon the melech Nevuchadnetzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of
the malchut of Bavel.
30 The melech spoke, and said, Is not this great Bavel,
that I have built for the bayit of the malchut by the might
of my power, and for the honor of my greatness?
31 While the word was in the melech's mouth, there fell a
voice from the shamayim, saying, O melech
Nevuchadnetzar, to you it is spoken; The malchut has
departed from you.
32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling
shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make you
to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over you,
until you know that the Most High rules in the malchut of
men, and He gives it to whomever He desires.
33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon
Nevuchadnetzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat
grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the
shamayim, until his hairs were grown like eagles'
feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
34 And at the end of those days I Nevuchadnetzar lifted
up my eyes to the shamayim, and my binah returned to
me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and
honored Him that lives le-olam-va-ed, whose dominion is
an everlasting dominion, and His malchut is from
generation to generation:
35 And all the inhabitants of the olam are counted as
nothing: and He does according to His will in the armies
of the shamayim, and among the inhabitants of the olam:
and no one can stop His hand, or say to Him, What are
You doing?
