The Dream and the King’s Search for an Interpreter

The Dream and the King’s Search for an Interpreter

4“I, Nebuchadnezzar, was content in my house and prospering in my palace. 5And I saw a dream and a revelation on my bed and it frightened me, and the visions of my head terrified me. 6And a decree was sent out,[fn] ordering that all the wise men of Babylon were to be brought in before me so that they may make known to me the explanation of the dream. 7Then the magicians,[fn] the conjurers,[fn] the astrologers[fn] and the diviners came in and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its explanation.[fn] 8Then at last[fn] Daniel came before me whose name was[fn] Belteshazzar, according to[fn] the name of my god, and in whom was the spirit of the holy gods,[fn] and I related the dream to him.[fn]

9“ ‘O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians,[fn] I myself know that the spirit[fn] of the holy gods is in you, and no mystery is too difficult[fn] for you. Now tell me the visions of my dream that I saw, and its explanation.[fn] 10Now these were the visions of my head as I was lying on my bed: I was gazing[fn] and, look, a tree was in the midst of the earth, and its height was exalted.

13“ ‘I was looking in the vision of my head as I lay on my bed,and, look, a watcher,[fn] and a holy one, came down from heaven.

18“ ‘This is the dream that I, Nebuchadnezzar the king, saw. Now[fn] you, Belteshazzar, declare its explanation, for[fn] all of the wise men of my kingdom were not able to make the explanation known to me, but you are able because the spirit of holy gods is in you.’
