TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:1-37 In his pride, King Nebuchadnezzar convinced himself that he had built Babylon (4:30; cp. Gen 11:1-9). He disregarded the warning of the Most High God (Dan 4:24-27). He had still not learned the lesson God was teaching him through these experiences, that the God of Daniel stands outside the world of time and space, and no human is equal to him. So God’s decree of judgment fell upon Nebuchadnezzar (4:17, 25-26; see Prov 16:18).

Belteshazzar was the name the Babylonians gave to Daniel. See how you translated this name in Daniel 1:7.

(Some words not found in UHB: and,foliage,whose beautiful and,fruit,its considerable/exceedingly and,food for,all,the in/on/at/with,it under,it lived animals field,the and,in/on/at/with,branches,its lived birds the=heavens )

Alternate translation: “But you are able to interpret it”

רֽוּחַ־אֱלָהִ֥ין קַדִּישִׁ֖ין

(Some words not found in UHB: and,foliage,whose beautiful and,fruit,its considerable/exceedingly and,food for,all,the in/on/at/with,it under,it lived animals field,the and,in/on/at/with,branches,its lived birds the=heavens )

Nebuchadnezzar believed that Daniel’s power came from the false gods that Nebuchadnezzar worshiped. These are not the same as “the holy ones” in verse 17. See how you translated this phrase in Daniel 4:8.
