Daniel Interprets the Vision

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:19 - Then Daniyel, whose name was Belteshatztzar, was stricken mute for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king answered, Belteshatztzar, don't let the dream, or the interpretation, trouble you.

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:20 - The tree that you saw, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached to the sky, and the sight of it to all the eretz;
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:21 - whose leaves were beautiful, and the fruit of it much, and in it was food for all; under which the animals of the field lived, and on whose branches the birds of the sky had their habitation:
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:22 - it is you, O king, that are grown and become strong; for your greatness is grown, and reaches to the sky, and your dominion to the end of the eretz.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:23 - Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the sky, and saying, Hew down the tree, and destroy it; nevertheless leave the stump of the roots of it in the eretz, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and let it be wet with the dew of the sky: and let his portion be with the animals of the field, until seven times pass over him;
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:24 - this is the interpretation, O king, and it is the decree of Ha`Elyon, which is come on my lord the king:
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:25 - that you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the animals of the field, and you shall be made to eat grass as oxen, and shall be wet with the dew of the sky, and seven times shall pass over you; until you know that Ha`Elyon rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whoever he will.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:26 - Whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree; your kingdom shall be sure to you, after that you shall have known that the heavens do rule.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 4:27 - Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you, and break off your sins by righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of your tranquillity.
