Chapter 8
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto
me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. And
I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the ^5
palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was
by the river Ulai. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there
stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high;
but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. I saw the ram
pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand
before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he
did according to his will, and magnified himself.
[Footnote 5: Or, castle]
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the
face of the whole earth, and ^6 touched not the ground: and the goat had a
notable horn between his eyes. And he came to the ram that had the two horns,
which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his
power. And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger
against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no
power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and
trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his
hand. And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong,
the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns
toward the four winds of heaven.
[Footnote 6: Heb. none touched the ground]
And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding
great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of
the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them. Yea, it
magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and ^7 it took away from him
the continual burnt-offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
And ^1 the host was given over to it together with the continual
burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground,
and it did its pleasure and prospered. Then I heard a holy one speaking; and
another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the
vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that
maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under
foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and
mornings; then shall the sanctuary be ^2 cleansed.
[Footnote 7: Another reading is, the continual burnt-offering was taken away
from him.]
[Footnote 1: Or, a host was given to it against the &c. Or, a host was set
over the &c.]
[Footnote 2: Heb. justified.]
And it came to pass, when I, even Daniel, had seen the vision, that I
sought ^3 to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the
appearance of a man. And I heard a man's voice between the banks of the Ulai,
which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. So
he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon
my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision
belongeth to the time of the end. Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into
a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me ^4
upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the
latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the
end. The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of
Media and Persia. And the rough he-goat is the king of ^5 Greece: and the
great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. And as for that which
was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up
out of the nation, but not with his power. And in the latter time of their
kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce
countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power
shall be mighty, but not ^6 by his own power; and he shall ^7 destroy
wonderfully, and shall prosper and do his pleasure; and he shall ^7 destroy
the mighty ones and ^8 the holy people. And through his policy he shall cause
craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and
in their security shall he ^7 destroy many: he shall also stand up against the
prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the
evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the
vision; for it belongeth to many days to come. And I, Daniel, fainted, and
was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I
wondered at the vision, ^9 but none understood it.
