TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:1-49 God gave a dream that encompassed the flow of world history over the centuries, and Daniel interpreted the enigmatic imagery of this revelation. This dream and its interpretation reflect a key theme of the book—the assured final establishment of the Kingdom of God as the ultimate goal of history (2:44-45; 7:9-14, 26-27). This chapter also demonstrates the inability of paganism to discern the activity and plans of Israel’s God.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

רַ֣ב וְ⁠שַׁלִּ֔יט

great//chief/captain and=power

These two words mean basically the same thing and emphasize the greatness of the king’s power. Alternate translation: “most powerful”
