SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–27 Daniel had a dream about a ram and a goat

At this point in the narrative, the author of the book of Daniel again began to write in the Hebrew language. He described another vision, this one occurring during the third year of Belshazzar’s reign over Babylon. In this vision Daniel was by the bank of a canal near the city of Susa. He saw a very powerful ram with two horns that charged in all directions. Next he saw a goat with one large horn between its eyes. The goat attacked and defeated the ram and grew very powerful. Its large horn broke and four prominent horns grew in its place. From one of those four horns grew a small horn. That little horn grew as high as the stars, as high as the army of heaven, and as high as the commander of the army. When it was at its highest, it stopped the daily sacrifices and desecrated the temple.

The angel Gabriel came to Daniel and explained the meaning of what he had seen. The ram and the goat represented kings and their kingdoms. The little horn represented a particularly wicked king. That king would even defy God, but in the end that wicked king would be destroyed.

Some versions have two headings within this section. For example:

NET Daniel Has a Vision of a Goat and a Ram (8:1)

An Angel Interprets Daniel’s Vision (8:15)

NRSV Vision of a Ram and a Goat (8:1)

Gabriel Interprets the Vision (8:15)

GNT Daniel’s Vision of a Ram and a Goat

The Angel Gabriel Explains the Vision (8:15)

BFrCL88 Second vision: the Ram and the Goat (8:1)

Interpretation of the second vision (8:15)

GeCL97 A second vision: The battle between the Ram and the Goat (8:1)

The meaning of the vision of the ram and the goat (8:15)

There are a number of similarities between chapter eight and chapter seven. For example, both chapters use symbolic language to describe kingdoms, and both use the symbol of a horn to refer to particular rulers of those kingdoms. In spite of these similarities, it is important to understand that the symbols in the two chapters do not necessarily refer to the same things. For example, while there are similarities between the two little horns, there are also important differences. The Notes will explain some of these differences. The Notes will also suggest ways to translate these symbols.

As noted above, the chapter is divided into two parts, one that describes the vision and one that gives the interpretation of the vision. Both parts lead to a climax. In the first part the horn grew until it became so great that it succeeded in everything it did (8:12). A similar sequence of events occurs in the second part of the vision. Gabriel described the growth of the horn and its climactic success (8:24–26). At the end of the chapter, Gabriel announced that God would destroy the horn (8:25).

The vision includes a number of images that may seem obscure and confusing. It is usually best to translate these images in a literal way. Even Daniel did not understand the full meaning of what he saw.

Paragraph 8:9–12

A small horn grew to become powerful and very evil.

8:11a

It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host;

It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as It magnified itself means “it made itself great.” The little horn wanted to be equal to the commander of God’s army. It wanted others to consider it to be worthy of the same honor and obedience as the commander. Here are some other ways to translate this:

It magnified itself, even up to the Prince of the host (RSV)

That little horn set itself up as equal to…the Commander of heaven’s armies (NCV)

the Prince of the host: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as the Prince of the host is more literally “the prince/commander of the army/host.” Here the reference may be to God himself, the preincarnate Christ, or to his representative.See Goldingay, page 210, Steinmann, page 202–203, and Miller, pages 226–227. See how you translated this in Joshua 5:14. As the exact reference is debated, it is best to translate literally. Use a phrase that could be applied to God himself.

the host: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as the host is the same word that is translated as “the host” in 8:10a, b.

8:11b

it removed His daily sacrifice

it removed His daily sacrifice: The little horn removed His daily sacrifice in the sense that it prevented people from sacrificing to God in the temple. This probably refers to the time when Antiochus Epiphanes ended the regular worship at the temple in Jerusalem. He ordered people to stop offering sacrifices to God there. Here are some other ways to translate this:

stopped the daily sacrifices offered to him (GNT)

canceling the daily sacrifices offered to him (NLT)

it took the daily burnt offering from him (GW)

His daily sacrifice: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as His daily sacrifice is literally “the perpetual.” This word refers to the offerings that the priests offered daily to God in the temple at Jerusalem.

8:11c

and overthrew the place of His sanctuary.

and overthrew the place of His sanctuary: The pronoun His here means “the LORD’s.” The sanctuary of the LORD is his holy place, his temple. This is a reference to the time when Antiochus Epiphanes, symbolized by the little horn, set up an idol in God’s temple (167 B.C.). The temple was thus profaned or defiled. It is good to use a word that can refer to the violation of a holy place rather than just to its physical destruction. For example:

and his sanctuary was ruined/devastated

This is a passive clause. In some languages it may be natural to use an active verb, with the little horn as the subject. For example:

and [it] ruined the Temple (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

General Information:

The horn is given additional qualities of a person.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שַֽׂר־הַ⁠צָּבָ֖א

prince_of of,the_host

This refers to God himself, who is the leader of the angel army.

וּ⁠מִמֶּ֨⁠נּוּ֙ הרים הַ⁠תָּמִ֔יד

and,from,him took_away the_perpetual,[offering]

Here took away means the horn stopped the offering. Here him refers to God, the commander of the army. Alternate translation: “It stopped the people from making their regular burnt offering to him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠הֻשְׁלַ֖ךְ מְכ֥וֹן מִקְדָּשֽׁ⁠וֹ

and,it_was_thrown_down place_of his_sanctuary_of,his

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “it defiled his sanctuary”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:1-27 This vision expands the vision of ch 7, developing additional symbolism regarding the second and third beasts (7:5-6). Its report about a small horn that arises from the goat has similarities with the “little horn” of 7:8, 20-25; the “ruler” of 9:26-27; and the “despicable man” of 11:21-45.

OET (OET-RV) It became as powerful as the general leading the heavenly army. It took the regular burnt offering away from him, and his sanctuary place was overthrown.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
