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 ; 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 , and saw <7200 ra>ah >, and, behold <2009 hinneh >, there stood <5975 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 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 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 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 came <0935 bow> > from the west <4628 ma 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 . 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 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 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 , the great <1419 gadowl > horn <7161 qeren > was broken <7665 shabar >; and for it came <5927 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@ 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 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 , 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 long <5704 [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.
