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 > shall destroy <7843 shachath > many <7227

rab >: he

shall also stand <5975 <amad > up against <5921 <al > the Prince

<8269 sar >

of princes <8269 sar >; but he shall be broken <7665 shabar >

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].
