Daniel 2 (WEBP)

[1] In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.
[2] Then the king commanded that the magicians, the enchanters, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans be called to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.
[3] The king said to them, “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.”
[4] Then the Chaldeans spoke to the king in the Syrian language, “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
[5] The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing has gone from me. If you don’t make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses will be made a dunghill.
[6] But if you show the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, rewards, and great honor. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”
[7] They answered the second time and said, “Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”
[8] The king answered, “I know of a certainty that you are trying to gain time, because you see the thing has gone from me.
[9] But if you don’t make known to me the dream, there is but one law for you; for you have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, until the situation changes. Therefore tell me the dream, and I will know that you can show me its interpretation.”
[10] The Chaldeans answered the king and said, “There is not a man on the earth who can show the king’s matter, because no king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing of any magician, enchanter, or Chaldean.
[11] It is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is no other who can show it before the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
[12] Because of this, the king was angry and very furious, and commanded that all the wise men of Babylon be destroyed.
[13] So the decree went out, and the wise men were to be slain. They sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.
[14] Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.
[15] He answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
[16] Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.
[17] Then Daniel went to his house and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
[18] that they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions would not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
[19] Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
[20] Daniel answered, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever; for wisdom and might are his.
[21] He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
[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 praise you, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we desired of you; for you have made known to us the king’s matter.”
[24] Therefore Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him: “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me in before the king, and I will show to the king the interpretation.”
[25] Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”
[26] The king answered Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?”
[27] Daniel answered before the king, and said, “The secret which the king has demanded can’t be shown to the king by wise men, enchanters, magicians, or soothsayers;
[28] but there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these:
[29] “As for you, O king, your thoughts came on your bed, what should happen hereafter; and he who reveals secrets has made known to you what will happen.
[30] But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.
[31] “You, O king, saw, and behold, a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was excellent, stood before you; and its appearance was terrifying.
[32] As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,
[33] its legs of iron, its feet part of iron and part of clay.
[34] You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
[35] Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
[36] “This is the dream; and we will tell its interpretation before the king.
[37] You, O king, are king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, the strength, and the glory.
[38] Wherever the children of men dwell, he has given the animals of the field and the birds of the sky into your hand, and has made you rule over them all. You are the head of gold.
[39] “After you, another kingdom will arise that is inferior to you; and another third kingdom of bronze, which will rule over all the earth.
[40] The fourth kingdom will be strong as iron, because iron breaks in pieces and subdues all things; and as iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and crush.
[41] Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay and part of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but there will be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.
[42] As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle.
[43] Whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they will mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they won’t cling to one another, even as iron does not mix with clay.
[44] “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever.
[45] Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. The dream is certain, and its interpretation sure.”
[46] Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, worshiped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odors to him.
[47] The king answered to Daniel, and said, “Of a truth your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you have been able to reveal this secret.”
[48] Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts, and made him rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
[49] Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the king’s gate.

Daniel 2:31 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection.

Daniel 2 (KJVS)

[1] And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed () dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, () and his sleep brake () from him.
[2] Then the king commanded () to call () the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, () and the Chaldeans, for to shew () the king his dreams. So they came () and stood () before the king.
[3] And the king said () unto them, I have dreamed () a dream, and my spirit was troubled () to know () the dream.
[4] Then spake () the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live () for ever: tell () thy servants the dream, and we will shew () the interpretation.
[5] The king answered () and said () to the Chaldeans, 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.
[6] But if ye shew () the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive () of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew () me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
[7] They answered () again and said, () Let the king tell () his servants the dream, and we will shew () the interpretation of it.
[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.
[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 shew () me the interpretation thereof.
[10] The Chaldeans answered () before the king, and said, () There is not a man upon the earth that can () shew () the king’s matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked () such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
[11] And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, () and there is none other that can shew () it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
[12] For this cause the king was angry () and very furious, () and commanded () to destroy () all the wise men of Babylon.
[13] And the decree went forth () that the wise men should be slain; () and they sought () Daniel and his fellows to be slain. ()
[14] Then Daniel answered () with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, which was gone forth () to slay () the wise men of Babylon:
[15] he answered () and said () to Arioch the king’s captain, Why is the decree so hasty () from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known () to Daniel.
[16] Then Daniel went in, () and desired () of the king that he would give () him time, and that he would shew () the king the interpretation.
[17] Then Daniel went () to his house, and made the thing known () to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
[18] that they would desire () mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish () with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
[19] Then was the secret revealed () unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed () the God of heaven.
[20] Daniel answered () and said, () Blessed () be () the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
[21] and he changeth () the times and the seasons: he removeth () kings, and setteth up () kings: he giveth () wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know () understanding:
[22] he revealeth () the deep and secret things: () he knoweth () what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth () with him.
[23] I thank () thee, and praise () thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given () me wisdom and might, and hast made known () unto me now what we desired () of thee: for thou hast now made known () unto us the king’s matter.
[24] Therefore Daniel went in () unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained () to destroy () the wise men of Babylon: he went () and said () thus unto him; Destroy () not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in () before the king, and I will shew () unto the king the interpretation.
[25] Then Arioch brought in () Daniel before the king in haste, () and said () thus unto him, I have found () a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known () unto the king the interpretation.
[26] The king answered () and said () to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able () to make known () unto me the dream which I have seen, () and the interpretation thereof?
[27] Daniel answered () in the presence of the king, and said, () The secret which the king hath demanded () cannot () the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, () shew () unto the king;
[28] but there is a God in heaven that revealeth () secrets, and maketh known () to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be () in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
[29] As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came () into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass () hereafter: and he that revealeth () secrets maketh known () to thee what shall come to pass. ()
[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 thou mightest know () the thoughts of thy heart.
[31] Thou, O king, sawest, () () and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood () before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. ()
[32] This image’s head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
[33] his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
[34] Thou sawest () () till that a stone was cut out () without hands, which smote () the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake 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 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.
[36] This is the dream; and we will tell () the interpretation thereof before the king.
[37] Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given () thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
[38] And wheresoever the children of men dwell, () the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given () into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler () over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
[39] And after thee shall arise () another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule () over all the earth.
[40] And the fourth kingdom shall be () strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces () and subdueth () all things: and as iron that breaketh () all these, shall it break in pieces () and bruise. ()
[41] And whereas thou sawest () 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 thou sawest () the iron mixed () with miry clay.
[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. ()
[43] And whereas thou sawest () 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.
[44] And in the days of these kings shall the God 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 () for ever.
[45] Forasmuch as thou sawest () that the stone was cut out () of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces () the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known () to the king what shall come to pass () hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. ()
[46] Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell () upon his face, and worshipped () Daniel, and commanded () that they should offer () an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
[47] The king answered () unto Daniel, and said, () Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer () of secrets, seeing thou couldest () reveal () this secret.
[48] Then the king made Daniel a great man, () and gave () him many great gifts, and made him ruler () over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
[49] Then Daniel requested () of the king, and he set () Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.

Daniel 2 (BYZ)

[1] εν τω ετει τω δευτερω της βασιλειας ναβουχοδονοσορ ηνυπνιασθη ναβουχοδονοσορ ενυπνιον και εξεστη το πνευμα αυτου και ο υπνος αυτου εγενετο απ αυτου
[2] και ειπεν ο βασιλευς καλεσαι τους επαοιδους και τους μαγους και τους φαρμακους και τους χαλδαιους του αναγγειλαι τω βασιλει τα ενυπνια αυτου και ηλθαν και εστησαν ενωπιον του βασιλεως
[3] και ειπεν αυτοις ο βασιλευς ηνυπνιασθην και εξεστη το πνευμα μου του γνωναι το ενυπνιον
[4] και ελαλησαν οι χαλδαιοι τω βασιλει συριστι βασιλευ εις τους αιωνας ζηθι συ ειπον το ενυπνιον τοις παισιν σου και την συγκρισιν αναγγελουμεν
[5] απεκριθη ο βασιλευς και ειπεν τοις χαλδαιοις ο λογος απ εμου απεστη εαν μη γνωρισητε μοι το ενυπνιον και την συγκρισιν αυτου εις απωλειαν εσεσθε και οι οικοι υμων διαρπαγησονται
[6] εαν δε το ενυπνιον και την συγκρισιν αυτου γνωρισητε μοι δοματα και δωρεας και τιμην πολλην λημψεσθε παρ εμου πλην το ενυπνιον και την συγκρισιν αυτου απαγγειλατε μοι
[7] απεκριθησαν δευτερον και ειπαν ο βασιλευς ειπατω το ενυπνιον τοις παισιν αυτου και την συγκρισιν αυτου αναγγελουμεν
[8] απεκριθη ο βασιλευς και ειπεν επ αληθειας οιδα εγω οτι καιρον υμεις εξαγοραζετε καθοτι ειδετε οτι απεστη απ εμου το ρημα
[9] εαν ουν το ενυπνιον μη αναγγειλητε μοι οιδα οτι ρημα ψευδες και διεφθαρμενον συνεθεσθε ειπειν ενωπιον μου εως ου ο καιρος παρελθη το ενυπνιον μου ειπατε μοι και γνωσομαι οτι την συγκρισιν αυτου αναγγελειτε μοι
[10] απεκριθησαν οι χαλδαιοι ενωπιον του βασιλεως και λεγουσιν ουκ εστιν ανθρωπος επι της ξηρας οστις το ρημα του βασιλεως δυνησεται γνωρισαι καθοτι πας βασιλευς μεγας και αρχων ρημα τοιουτο ουκ επερωτα επαοιδον μαγον και χαλδαιον
[11] οτι ο λογος ον ο βασιλευς επερωτα βαρυς και ετερος ουκ εστιν ος αναγγελει αυτον ενωπιον του βασιλεως αλλ η θεοι ων ουκ εστιν η κατοικια μετα πασης σαρκος
[12] τοτε ο βασιλευς εν θυμω και οργη πολλη ειπεν απολεσαι παντας τους σοφους βαβυλωνος
[13] και το δογμα εξηλθεν και οι σοφοι απεκτεννοντο και εζητησαν δανιηλ και τους φιλους αυτου ανελειν
[14] τοτε δανιηλ απεκριθη βουλην και γνωμην τω αριωχ τω αρχιμαγειρω του βασιλεως ος εξηλθεν αναιρειν τους σοφους βαβυλωνος
[15] αρχων του βασιλεως περι τινος εξηλθεν η γνωμη η αναιδης εκ προσωπου του βασιλεως εγνωρισεν δε το ρημα αριωχ τω δανιηλ
[16] και δανιηλ εισηλθεν και ηξιωσεν τον βασιλεα οπως χρονον δω αυτω και την συγκρισιν αυτου αναγγειλη τω βασιλει
[17] και εισηλθεν δανιηλ εις τον οικον αυτου και τω ανανια και τω μισαηλ και τω αζαρια τοις φιλοις αυτου το ρημα εγνωρισεν
[18] και οικτιρμους εζητουν παρα του θεου του ουρανου υπερ του μυστηριου τουτου οπως αν μη απολωνται δανιηλ και οι φιλοι αυτου μετα των επιλοιπων σοφων βαβυλωνος
[19] τοτε τω δανιηλ εν οραματι της νυκτος το μυστηριον απεκαλυφθη και ευλογησεν τον θεον του ουρανου
[20] δανιηλ και ειπεν ειη το ονομα του θεου ευλογημενον απο του αιωνος και εως του αιωνος οτι η σοφια και η συνεσις αυτου εστιν
[21] και αυτος αλλοιοι καιρους και χρονους καθιστα βασιλεις και μεθιστα διδους σοφιαν τοις σοφοις και φρονησιν τοις ειδοσιν συνεσιν
[22] αυτος αποκαλυπτει βαθεα και αποκρυφα γινωσκων τα εν τω σκοτει και το φως μετ αυτου εστιν
[23] σοι ο θεος των πατερων μου εξομολογουμαι και αινω οτι σοφιαν και δυναμιν εδωκας μοι και νυν εγνωρισας μοι α ηξιωσαμεν παρα σου και το οραμα του βασιλεως εγνωρισας μοι
[24] και ηλθεν δανιηλ προς αριωχ ον κατεστησεν ο βασιλευς απολεσαι τους σοφους βαβυλωνος και ειπεν αυτω τους σοφους βαβυλωνος μη απολεσης εισαγαγε δε με ενωπιον του βασιλεως και την συγκρισιν τω βασιλει αναγγελω
[25] τοτε αριωχ εν σπουδη εισηγαγεν τον δανιηλ ενωπιον του βασιλεως και ειπεν αυτω ευρηκα ανδρα εκ των υιων της αιχμαλωσιας της ιουδαιας οστις το συγκριμα τω βασιλει αναγγελει
[26] και απεκριθη ο βασιλευς και ειπεν τω δανιηλ ου το ονομα βαλτασαρ ει δυνασαι μοι αναγγειλαι το ενυπνιον ο ειδον και την συγκρισιν αυτου
[27] και απεκριθη δανιηλ ενωπιον του βασιλεως και λεγει το μυστηριον ο ο βασιλευς επερωτα ουκ εστιν σοφων μαγων επαοιδων γαζαρηνων αναγγειλαι τω βασιλει
[28] αλλ η εστιν θεος εν ουρανω αποκαλυπτων μυστηρια και εγνωρισεν τω βασιλει ναβουχοδονοσορ α δει γενεσθαι επ εσχατων των ημερων το ενυπνιον σου και αι ορασεις της κεφαλης σου επι της κοιτης σου τουτο εστιν
[29] συ βασιλευ οι διαλογισμοι σου επι της κοιτης σου ανεβησαν τι δει γενεσθαι μετα ταυτα και ο αποκαλυπτων μυστηρια εγνωρισεν σοι α δει γενεσθαι
[30] και εμοι δε ουκ εν σοφια τη ουση εν εμοι παρα παντας τους ζωντας το μυστηριον τουτο απεκαλυφθη αλλ ενεκεν του την συγκρισιν τω βασιλει γνωρισαι ινα τους διαλογισμους της καρδιας σου γνως
[31] συ βασιλευ εθεωρεις και ιδου εικων μια μεγαλη η εικων εκεινη και η προσοψις αυτης υπερφερης εστωσα προ προσωπου σου και η ορασις αυτης φοβερα
[32] η εικων ης η κεφαλη χρυσιου χρηστου αι χειρες και το στηθος και οι βραχιονες αυτης αργυροι η κοιλια και οι μηροι χαλκοι
[33] αι κνημαι σιδηραι οι ποδες μερος τι σιδηρουν και μερος τι οστρακινον
[34] εθεωρεις εως ου ετμηθη λιθος εξ ορους ανευ χειρων και επαταξεν την εικονα επι τους ποδας τους σιδηρους και οστρακινους και ελεπτυνεν αυτους εις τελος
[35] τοτε ελεπτυνθησαν εις απαξ το οστρακον ο σιδηρος ο χαλκος ο αργυρος ο χρυσος και εγενοντο ωσει κονιορτος απο αλωνος θερινης και εξηρεν αυτα το πληθος του πνευματος και τοπος ουχ ευρεθη αυτοις και ο λιθος ο παταξας την εικονα εγενηθη ορος μεγα και επληρωσεν πασαν την γην
[36] τουτο εστιν το ενυπνιον και την συγκρισιν αυτου ερουμεν ενωπιον του βασιλεως
[37] συ βασιλευ βασιλευς βασιλεων ω ο θεος του ουρανου βασιλειαν ισχυραν και κραταιαν και εντιμον εδωκεν
[38] εν παντι τοπω οπου κατοικουσιν οι υιοι των ανθρωπων θηρια τε αγρου και πετεινα ουρανου εδωκεν εν τη χειρι σου και κατεστησεν σε κυριον παντων συ ει η κεφαλη η χρυση
[39] και οπισω σου αναστησεται βασιλεια ετερα ηττων σου και βασιλεια τριτη ητις εστιν ο χαλκος η κυριευσει πασης της γης
[40] και βασιλεια τεταρτη εσται ισχυρα ως ο σιδηρος ον τροπον ο σιδηρος λεπτυνει και δαμαζει παντα ουτως παντα λεπτυνει και δαμασει
[41] και οτι ειδες τους ποδας και τους δακτυλους μερος μεν τι οστρακινον μερος δε τι σιδηρουν βασιλεια διηρημενη εσται και απο της ριζης της σιδηρας εσται εν αυτη ον τροπον ειδες τον σιδηρον αναμεμειγμενον τω οστρακω
[42] και οι δακτυλοι των ποδων μερος μεν τι σιδηρουν μερος δε τι οστρακινον μερος τι της βασιλειας εσται ισχυρον και απ αυτης εσται συντριβομενον
[43] οτι ειδες τον σιδηρον αναμεμειγμενον τω οστρακω συμμειγεις εσονται εν σπερματι ανθρωπων και ουκ εσονται προσκολλωμενοι ουτος μετα τουτου καθως ο σιδηρος ουκ αναμειγνυται μετα του οστρακου
[44] και εν ταις ημεραις των βασιλεων εκεινων αναστησει ο θεος του ουρανου βασιλειαν ητις εις τους αιωνας ου διαφθαρησεται και η βασιλεια αυτου λαω ετερω ουχ υπολειφθησεται λεπτυνει και λικμησει πασας τας βασιλειας και αυτη αναστησεται εις τους αιωνας
[45] ον τροπον ειδες οτι απο ορους ετμηθη λιθος ανευ χειρων και ελεπτυνεν το οστρακον τον σιδηρον τον χαλκον τον αργυρον τον χρυσον ο θεος ο μεγας εγνωρισεν τω βασιλει α δει γενεσθαι μετα ταυτα και αληθινον το ενυπνιον και πιστη η συγκρισις αυτου
[46] τοτε ο βασιλευς ναβουχοδονοσορ επεσεν επι προσωπον και τω δανιηλ προσεκυνησεν και μαναα και ευωδιας ειπεν σπεισαι αυτω
[47] και αποκριθεις ο βασιλευς ειπεν τω δανιηλ επ αληθειας ο θεος υμων αυτος εστιν θεος θεων και κυριος των βασιλεων και αποκαλυπτων μυστηρια οτι ηδυνηθης αποκαλυψαι το μυστηριον τουτο
[48] και εμεγαλυνεν ο βασιλευς τον δανιηλ και δοματα μεγαλα και πολλα εδωκεν αυτω και κατεστησεν αυτον επι πασης χωρας βαβυλωνος και αρχοντα σατραπων επι παντας τους σοφους βαβυλωνος
[49] και δανιηλ ητησατο παρα του βασιλεως και κατεστησεν επι τα εργα της χωρας βαβυλωνος τον σεδραχ μισαχ αβδεναγω και δανιηλ ην εν τη αυλη του βασιλεως
