And IsaacH3327 calledH7121 JacobH3290, and blessedH1288 him, and chargedH6680 him, and saidH559 unto him, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667.
AriseH6965, goH3212 to PadanaramH6307, to the houseH1004 of BethuelH1328 thy mother'sH517 fatherH1; and takeH3947 thee a wifeH802 from thence of the daughtersH1323 of LabanH3837 thy mother'sH517 brotherH251.
And GodH410 AlmightyH7706 blessH1288 thee, and make thee fruitfulH6509, and multiplyH7235 thee, that thou mayest be a multitudeH6951 of peopleH5971; {a multitude…: Heb. an assembly of people}
And giveH5414 thee the blessingH1293 of AbrahamH85, to thee, and to thy seedH2233 with thee; that thou mayest inheritH3423 the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, which GodH430 gaveH5414 unto AbrahamH85. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And IsaacH3327 sent awayH7971 JacobH3290: and he wentH3212 to PadanaramH6307 unto LabanH3837, sonH1121 of BethuelH1328 the SyrianH761, the brotherH251 of RebekahH7259, Jacob'sH3290 and Esau'sH6215 motherH517.
When EsauH6215 sawH7200 that IsaacH3327 had blessedH1288 JacobH3290, and sent him awayH7971 to PadanaramH6307, to takeH3947 him a wifeH802 from thence; and that as he blessedH1288 him he gave him a chargeH6680, sayingH559, Thou shalt not takeH3947 a wifeH802 of the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667;
And that JacobH3290 obeyedH8085 his fatherH1 and his motherH517, and was goneH3212 to PadanaramH6307;
And EsauH6215 seeingH7200 that the daughtersH1323 of CanaanH3667 pleasedH5869 notH7451 IsaacH3327 his fatherH1; {pleased…: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}
Then wentH3212 EsauH6215 unto IshmaelH3458, and tookH3947 unto the wivesH802 which he had MahalathH4258 the daughterH1323 of IshmaelH3458 Abraham'sH85 sonH1121, the sisterH269 of NebajothH5032, to be his wifeH802. {Mahalath: or, Bashemath}
And JacobH3290 went outH3318 from BeershebaH884, and wentH3212 toward HaranH2771. {Haran: Gr. Charran}
And he lightedH6293 upon a certain placeH4725, and tarried there all nightH3885, because the sunH8121 was setH935; and he tookH3947 of the stonesH68 of that placeH4725, and putH7760 them for his pillowsH4763, and lay downH7901 in that placeH4725 to sleepH7901.
And he dreamedH2492, and behold a ladderH5551 set upH5324 on the earthH776, and the top of itH7218 reachedH5060 to heavenH8064: and behold the angelsH4397 of GodH430 ascendingH5927 and descendingH3381 on it.
And, behold, the LORDH3068 stoodH5324 above it, and saidH559, I am the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85 thy fatherH1, and the GodH430 of IsaacH3327: the landH776 whereon thou liestH7901, to thee will I give itH5414, and to thy seedH2233;
And thy seedH2233 shall be as the dustH6083 of the earthH776, and thou shalt spread abroadH6555 to the westH3220, and to the eastH6924, and to the northH6828, and to the southH5045: and in thee and in thy seedH2233 shall all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127 be blessedH1288. {spread…: Heb. break forth}
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keepH8104 thee in all places whitherH834 thou goestH3212, and will bring thee againH7725 into this landH127; for I will not leaveH5800 thee, untilH834 I have doneH6213 that which I have spokenH1696 to thee of.
And JacobH3290 awakedH3364 out of his sleepH8142, and he saidH559, SurelyH403 the LORDH3068 isH3426 in this placeH4725; and I knewH3045 it not.
And he was afraidH3372, and saidH559, How dreadfulH3372 is this placeH4725! this is none other but the houseH1004 of GodH430, and this is the gateH8179 of heavenH8064.
And JacobH3290 rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and tookH3947 the stoneH68 that he had putH7760 for his pillowsH4763, and set it upH7760 for a pillarH4676, and pouredH3332 oilH8081 upon the top of itH7218.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 BethelH1008: butH199 the nameH8034 of that cityH5892 was called LuzH3870 at the firstH7223. {Bethel: that is, The house of God}
And JacobH3290 vowedH5087 a vowH5088, sayingH559, If GodH430 will be with me, and will keep meH8104 in this wayH1870 that I goH1980, and will giveH5414 me breadH3899 to eatH398, and raimentH899 to put onH3847,
So that I come againH7725 to my father'sH1 houseH1004 in peaceH7965; then shall the LORDH3068 be my GodH430:
And this stoneH68, which I have setH7760 for a pillarH4676, shall be God'sH430 houseH1004: and of all that thou shalt giveH5414 me I will surelyH6237 give the tenthH6237 unto thee.

AfterH310 these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH7235 rewardH7939.
And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him.
And when JacobH3290 saw themH7200, he saidH559, This is God'sH430 hostH4264: and he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 MahanaimH4266. {Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps}
But GodH430 cameH935 to AbimelechH40 in a dreamH2472 by nightH3915, and saidH559 to him, Behold, thou art but a dead manH4191, for the womanH802 which thou hast takenH3947; for she is a man'sH1167 wifeH1166. {a man's…: Heb. married to an husband}
For the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 run to and froH7751 throughout the whole earthH776, to shew himself strongH2388 in the behalf of them whose heartH3824 is perfectH8003 toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishlyH5528: therefore from henceforthH6258 thou shalt haveH3426 warsH4421. {to shew…: or, strongly to hold with them, etc}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto him in a dreamH2472, YeaH1571, I knowH3045 that thou didstH6213 this in the integrityH8537 of thy heartH3824; for I also withheldH2820 thee from sinningH2398 against me: therefore sufferedH5414 I thee not to touchH5060 her.
FearH3372 thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayedH8159; for I am thy GodH430: I will strengthenH553 thee; yea, I will helpH5826 thee; yea, I will upholdH8551 thee with the right handH3225 of my righteousnessH6664.
Now therefore restoreH7725 the manH376 his wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for theeH1157, and thou shalt liveH2421: and if thou restoreH7725 her not, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, thou, and all that are thine.
AndG2532 he saithG3004 unto himG846, VerilyG281, verilyG281, I sayG3004 unto youG5213, HereafterG737+G575 ye shall seeG3700 heavenG3772 openG455, andG2532 the angelsG32 of GodG2316 ascendingG305 andG2532 descendingG2597 uponG1909 the SonG5207 of manG444.
And JosephH3130 dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and he toldH5046 it his brethrenH251: and they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254.
And he saidH559 unto them, HearH8085, I pray you, this dreamH2472 which I have dreamedH2492:
For, behold, we were bindingH481+H8432 sheavesH485 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, my sheafH485 aroseH6965, and also stood uprightH5324; and, behold, your sheavesH485 stood round aboutH5437, and made obeisanceH7812 to my sheafH485.
And his brethrenH251 saidH559 to him, Shalt thou indeedH4427 reignH4427 over us? or shalt thou indeedH4910 have dominionH4910 over us? And they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254 for his dreamsH2472, and for his wordsH1697.
And he dreamedH2492 yet anotherH312 dreamH2472, and toldH5608 it his brethrenH251, and saidH559, Behold, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 more; and, behold, the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 and the elevenH6240+H259 starsH3556 made obeisanceH7812 to me.
And he toldH5608 it to his fatherH1, and to his brethrenH251: and his fatherH1 rebukedH1605 him, and saidH559 unto him, What is this dreamH2472 that thou hast dreamedH2492? Shall I and thy motherH517 and thy brethrenH251 indeedH935 comeH935 to bow downH7812 ourselves to thee to the earthH776?
And his brethrenH251 enviedH7065 him; but his fatherH1 observedH8104 the sayingH1697.
AtG1722 myG3450 firstG4413 answerG627 no manG3762 stoodG4836 with meG3427, butG235 allG3956 men forsookG1459 meG3165: I pray God that it mayG3049 notG3361 be laidG3049 to their chargeG846.
And it came to pass afterH310 these thingsH1697, that the butlerH8248 of the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 and his bakerH644 had offendedH2398 their lordH113 the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714.
And PharaohH6547 was wrothH7107 againstH5921 twoH8147 of his officersH5631, against the chiefH8269 of the butlersH8248, and against the chiefH8269 of the bakersH644.
And he putH5414 them in wardH4929 in the houseH1004 of the captainH8269 of the guardH2876, into the prisonH1004+H5470, the placeH4725 where JosephH3130 was boundH631.
And the captainH8269 of the guardH2876 chargedH6485 JosephH3130 with them, and he servedH8334 them: and they continued a seasonH3117 in wardH4929.
And they dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 both of themH8147, each manH376 his dreamH2472 in oneH259 nightH3915, each manH376 according to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472, the butlerH8248 and the bakerH644 of the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which were boundH631 in the prisonH1004+H5470.
And JosephH3130 came inH935 unto them in the morningH1242, and lookedH7200 upon them, and, behold, they were sadH2196.
And he askedH7592 Pharaoh'sH6547 officersH5631 that were with him in the wardH4929 of his lord'sH113 houseH1004, sayingH559, Wherefore lookH6440 ye so sadlyH7451 to dayH3117? {look…: Heb. are your faces evil?}
And they saidH559 unto him, We have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is no interpreterH6622 of it. And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, Do not interpretationsH6623 belong to GodH430? tell meH5608 them, I pray you.
And the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 toldH5608 his dreamH2472 to JosephH3130, and saidH559 to him, In my dreamH2472, behold, a vineH1612 was before meH6440;
And in the vineH1612 were threeH7969 branchesH8299: and it was as though it buddedH6524, and her blossomsH5322 shot forthH5927; and the clustersH811 thereof brought forth ripeH1310 grapesH6025:
And Pharaoh'sH6547 cupH3563 was in my handH3027: and I tookH3947 the grapesH6025, and pressedH7818 them into Pharaoh'sH6547 cupH3563, and I gaveH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh'sH6547 handH3709.
And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto him, This is the interpretationH6623 of it: The threeH7969 branchesH8299 are threeH7969 daysH3117:
YetH5750 within threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 lift upH5375 thine headH7218, and restoreH7725 thee unto thy placeH3653: and thou shalt deliverH5414 Pharaoh'sH6547 cupH3563 into his handH3027, after the formerH7223 mannerH4941 when thou wast his butlerH8248. {lift…: or, reckon}
But thinkH2142 on me when it shall be wellH3190 with thee, and shewH6213 kindnessH2617, I pray thee, unto me, and make mentionH2142 of me unto PharaohH6547, and bring meH3318 out of this houseH1004: {think…: Heb. remember me with thee}
For indeed I was stolen awayH1589 out of the landH776 of the HebrewsH5680: and here also have I doneH6213 nothingH3972 that they should putH7760 me into the dungeonH953.
When the chiefH8269 bakerH644 sawH7200 that the interpretationH6622 was goodH2896, he saidH559 unto JosephH3130, I alsoH637 was in my dreamH2472, and, behold, I had threeH7969 whiteH2751 basketsH5536 on my headH7218: {white: or, full of holes}
And in the uppermostH5945 basketH5536 there was of all mannerH3978 of bakemeatsH4639+H644 for PharaohH6547; and the birdsH5775 did eatH398 them out of the basketH5536 uponH5921 my headH7218. {bakemeats…: Heb. meat of Pharaoh, the work of a baker, or, cook}
And JosephH3130 answeredH6030 and saidH559, This is the interpretationH6623 thereof: The threeH7969 basketsH5536 are threeH7969 daysH3117:
Yet within threeH7969 daysH3117 shall PharaohH6547 lift upH5375 thy headH7218 from off thee, and shall hangH8518 thee on a treeH6086; and the birdsH5775 shall eatH398 thy fleshH1320 from off thee. {lift…: or, reckon thee, and take thy office from thee}
And it came to pass the thirdH7992 dayH3117, which was Pharaoh'sH6547 birthdayH3117+H3205, that he madeH6213 a feastH4960 unto all his servantsH5650: and he lifted upH5375 the headH7218 of the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 and of the chiefH8269 bakerH644 amongH8432 his servantsH5650. {lifted…: or, reckoned}
And he restoredH7725 the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 unto his butlershipH4945 againH7725; and he gaveH5414 the cupH3563 into Pharaoh'sH6547 handH3709:
But he hangedH8518 the chiefH8269 bakerH644: as JosephH3130 had interpretedH6622 to them.
Yet did not the chiefH8269 butlerH8248 rememberH2142 JosephH3130, but forgatH7911 him.
NotwithstandingG1161 the LordG2962 stoodG3936 with meG3427, andG2532 strengthenedG1743 meG3165; thatG2443 byG1223 meG1700 the preachingG2782 might be fully knownG4135, andG2532 that allG3956 the GentilesG1484 might hearG191: andG2532 I was deliveredG4506 out ofG1537 the mouthG4750 of the lionG3023.
And he saidH559, HearH8085 now my wordsH1697: If there be a prophetH5030 among you, I the LORDH3068 will make myself knownH3045 unto him in a visionH4759, and will speakH1696 unto him in a dreamH2472.
Are theyG1526 notG3780 allG3956 ministeringG3010 spiritsG4151, sent forthG649 toG1519 ministerG1248 forG1223 them who shallG3195 be heirs ofG2816 salvationG4991?
Now a thingH1697 was secretly broughtH1589 to me, and mine earH241 receivedH3947 a littleH8102 thereof. {secretly: Heb. by stealth}
In thoughtsH5587 from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, when deep sleepH8639 fallethH5307 on menH582,
FearH6343 cameH7122 upon me, and tremblingH7461, which made allH7230 my bonesH6106 to shakeH6342. {came…: Heb. met} {all: Heb. the multitude of}
Then a spiritH7307 passedH2498 before my faceH6440; the hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stood upH5568:
It stood stillH5975, but I could not discernH5234 the formH4758 thereof: an imageH8544 was before mine eyesH5869, there was silenceH1827, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963, saying, {there…: or, I heard a still voice}
Shall mortal manH582 be more justH6663 than GodH433? shall a manH1397 be more pureH2891 than his makerH6213?
Behold, he put no trustH539 in his servantsH5650; and his angelsH4397 he chargedH7760 with follyH8417: {and his…: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}
How much lessH637 in them that dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clayH2563, whose foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, which are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the mothH6211?
They are destroyedH3807 from morningH1242 to eveningH6153: they perishH6 for everH5331 without any regardingH7760 it. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Doth not their excellencyH3499 which is in them go awayH5265? they dieH4191, even without wisdomH2451.
In a dreamH2472, in a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, when deepH8639 sleep fallethH5307 upon menH582, in slumberingsH8572 upon the bedH4904;
Then he openethH1540 the earsH241 of menH582, and sealethH2856 their instructionH4561, {he…: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth}
And in the secondH8147 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of NebuchadnezzarH5019 NebuchadnezzarH5019 dreamedH2492 dreamsH2472, wherewith his spiritH7307 was troubledH6470, and his sleepH8142 brakeH1961 from him.
Then the kingH4428 commandedH559 to callH7121 the magiciansH2748, and the astrologersH825, and the sorcerersH3784, and the ChaldeansH3778, for to shewH5046 the kingH4428 his dreamsH2472. So they cameH935 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto them, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and my spiritH7307 was troubledH6470 to knowH3045 the dreamH2472.
Then spakeH1696 the ChaldeansH3778 to the kingH4428 in SyriackH762, O kingH4430, liveH2418 for everH5957: tellH560 thy servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the ChaldeansH3779, The thingH4406 is goneH230 from meH4481: ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, with the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and your housesH1005 shall be madeH7761 a dunghillH5122. {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
But ifH2006 ye shewH2324 the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall receiveH6902 ofH4481 meH6925 giftsH4978 and rewardsH5023 and greatH7690 honourH3367: thereforeH3861 shewH2324 me the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answeredH6032 againH8579 and saidH560, Let the kingH4430 tellH560 his servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of it.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, IH576 knowH3046 ofH4481 certaintyH3330 that yeH608 would gainH2084 the timeH5732, becauseH6903+H3606 ye seeH2370 the thingH4406 is goneH230 fromH4481 me. {gain: Cald. buy}
But ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, there is but oneH1932+H2298 decreeH1882 for you: for ye have preparedH2164 lyingH3538 and corruptH7844 wordsH4406 to speakH560 beforeH6925 me, tillH5705 the timeH5732 be changedH8133: thereforeH3861 tellH560 me the dreamH2493, and I shall knowH3046 thatH1768 ye can shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, There isH383 notH3809 a manH606 uponH5922 the earthH3007 that canH3202 shewH2324 the king'sH4430 matterH4406: thereforeH6903+H1768 there is noH3809 kingH4430, lordH7229, nor rulerH7990, that askedH7593 suchH1836 thingsH4406 at anyH3606 magicianH2749, or astrologerH826, or ChaldeanH3779.
And it is a rareH3358 thingH4406 that the kingH4430 requirethH7593, and there isH383 noneH3809 otherH321 that can shewH2324 it beforeH6925 the kingH4430, exceptH3861 the godsH426, whose dwellingH4070 isH383 notH3809 withH5974 fleshH1321.
ForH6903 thisH1836 causeH3606 the kingH4430 was angryH1149 and veryH7690 furiousH7108, and commandedH560 to destroyH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
And the decreeH1882 went forthH5312 that the wiseH2445 men should be slainH6992; and they soughtH1156 DanielH1841 and his fellowsH2269 to be slainH6992.
ThenH116 DanielH1841 answeredH8421 with counselH5843 and wisdomH2942 to AriochH746 the captainH7229 ofH1768 the king'sH4430 guardH2877, which was gone forthH5312 to slayH6992 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895: {answered…: Cald. returned} {captain…: or, chief marshal: Cald. chief of the executioners, or, slaughtermen}
He answeredH6032 and saidH560 to AriochH746 the king'sH4430 captainH7990, WhyH4101+H5922 is the decreeH1882 so hastyH2685 fromH4481+H6925 the kingH4430? ThenH116 AriochH746 made the thingH4406 knownH3046 to DanielH1841.
Then DanielH1841 went inH5954, and desiredH1156 ofH4481 the kingH4430 that he would giveH5415 him timeH2166, and that he would shewH2324 the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.
ThenH116 DanielH1841 wentH236 to his houseH1005, and made the thingH4406 knownH3046 to HananiahH2608, MishaelH4333, and AzariahH5839, his companionsH2269:
That they would desireH1156 merciesH7359 ofH4481+H6925 the GodH426 of heavenH8065 concerningH5922 thisH1836 secretH7328; that DanielH1841 and his fellowsH2269 should notH3809 perishH7 withH5974 the restH7606 of the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895. {of the God: Cald. from before God} {that Daniel…: or, that they should not destroy Daniel, etc}
ThenH116 was the secretH7328 revealedH1541 unto DanielH1841 in a nightH3916 visionH2376. ThenH116 DanielH1841 blessedH1289 the GodH426 of heavenH8065.
DanielH1841 answeredH6032 and saidH560, BlessedH1289 beH1934 the nameH8036 of GodH426 forH4481 everH5957 and everH5705+H5957: for wisdomH2452 and mightH1370 areH1932 his:
And he changethH8133 the timesH5732 and the seasonsH2166: he removethH5709 kingsH4430, and setteth upH6966 kingsH4430: he givethH3052 wisdomH2452 unto the wiseH2445, and knowledgeH4486 to them that knowH3046 understandingH999:
He revealethH1541 the deepH5994 and secret thingsH5642: he knowethH3046 whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, and the lightH5094 dwellethH8271 with himH5974.
IH576 thankH3029 thee, and praiseH7624 thee, O thou GodH426 of my fathersH2, who hast givenH3052 me wisdomH2452 and mightH1370, and hast made knownH3046 unto me nowH3705 what we desiredH1156 of theeH4481: for thou hast now made knownH3046 unto us the king'sH4430 matterH4406.
ThereforeH3606+H6903+H1836 DanielH1841 went inH5954 untoH5922 AriochH746, whom the kingH4430 had ordainedH4483 to destroyH7 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895: he wentH236 and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him; DestroyH7 notH409 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895: bring me inH5954 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and I will shewH2324 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591.
ThenH116 AriochH746 brought inH5954 DanielH1841 beforeH6925 the kingH4430 in hasteH927, and saidH560 thusH3652 unto him, I have foundH7912 a manH1400 of the captivesH1123+H1547 ofH4481 JudahH3061, that will make knownH3046 unto the kingH4430 the interpretationH6591. {I have…: Cald. That I have found} {captives…: Cald. children of the captivity of Judah}
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to DanielH1841, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, ArtH383 thou ableH3546 to make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493 which I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof?
DanielH1841 answeredH6032 in the presenceH6925 of the kingH4430, and saidH560, The secretH7328 which the kingH4430 hath demandedH7593 cannotH3202+H3809 the wiseH2445 men, the astrologersH826, the magiciansH2749, the soothsayersH1505, shewH2324 unto the kingH4430;
ButH1297 there isH383 a GodH426 in heavenH8065 that revealethH1541 secretsH7328, and maketh knownH3046 to the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 whatH4101 shall beH1934 in the latterH320 daysH3118. Thy dreamH2493, and the visionsH2376 of thy headH7217 uponH5922 thy bedH4903, are theseH1836; {maketh…: Cald. hath made known}
As for theeH607, O kingH4430, thy thoughtsH7476 cameH5559 into thy mind uponH5922 thy bedH4903, whatH4101 should come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and he that revealethH1541 secretsH7328 maketh knownH3046 to thee whatH4101 shall come to passH1934. {came: Cald. came up}
But as for meH576, thisH1836 secretH7328 is notH3809 revealedH1541 to me for any wisdomH2452 that I haveH383 more thanH4481 anyH3606 livingH2417, butH3861 for their sakesH1701 thatH5922 shall make knownH3046 the interpretationH6591 to the kingH4430, and that thou mightest knowH3046 the thoughtsH7476 of thy heartH3825. {but for…: or, but for the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king}
ThouH607, O kingH4430, sawestH1934+H2370, and beholdH431 a greatH2298+H7690 imageH6755. ThisH1797 greatH7229 imageH6755, whose brightnessH2122 was excellentH3493, stoodH6966 beforeH6903 thee; and the formH7299 thereof was terribleH1763. {sawest: Cald. wast seeing}
This image'sH6755 headH7217 was of fineH2869 goldH1722, his breastH2306 and his armsH1872 of silverH3702, his bellyH4577 and his thighsH3410 of brassH5174, {thighs: or, sides}
His legsH8243 of ironH6523, his feetH7271 partH4481 of ironH6523 and partH4481 of clayH2635.
Thou sawestH2370+H1934 tillH5705 that a stoneH69 was cut outH1505 withoutH3809 handsH3028, which smoteH4223 the imageH6755 uponH5922 his feetH7271 that were of ironH6523 and clayH2635, and brakeH1855 themH1994 to piecesH1855. {without…: or, which was not in hands}
ThenH116 was the ironH6523, the clayH2635, the brassH5174, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722, broken to piecesH1855+H1751 togetherH2298, and becameH1934 like the chaffH5784 ofH4481 the summerH7007 threshingfloorsH147; and the windH7308 carriedH5376 themH1994 awayH5376, thatH3606 noH3809 placeH870 was foundH7912 for them: and the stoneH69 that smoteH4223 the imageH6755 becameH1934 a greatH7229 mountainH2906, and filledH4391 the wholeH3606 earthH772.
ThisH1836 is the dreamH2493; and we will tellH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof beforeH6925 the kingH4430.
ThouH607, O kingH4430, art a kingH4430 of kingsH4430: for the GodH426 of heavenH8065 hath givenH3052 thee a kingdomH4437, powerH2632, and strengthH8632, and gloryH3367.
And wheresoeverH3606 the childrenH1123 of menH606 dwellH1753, the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 and the fowlsH5776 of the heavenH8065 hath he givenH3052 into thine handH3028, and hath made thee rulerH7981 over them allH3606. ThouH607 art this headH7217 of goldH1722.
And afterH870 thee shall ariseH6966 anotherH317 kingdomH4437 inferiorH772 to theeH4481, and anotherH317 thirdH8523 kingdomH4437 of brassH5174, which shall bear ruleH7981 over allH3606 the earthH772.
And the fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 strongH8624 as ironH6523: forasmuch as ironH6523 breaketh in piecesH1855 and subduethH2827 allH3606 things: and asH6903 ironH6523 that breakethH7490 allH3606 theseH459, shall it break in piecesH1855 and bruiseH7490.
And whereas thou sawestH2370 the feetH7271 and toesH677, partH4481 of potters'H6353 clayH2635, and partH4481 of ironH6523, the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 dividedH6386; butH4481 there shall beH1934 in it ofH4481 the strengthH5326 of the ironH6523, forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 the ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635.
And as the toesH677 of the feetH7271 were partH4481 of ironH6523, and partH4481 of clayH2635, so the kingdomH4437 shall beH1934 partlyH4481+H7118 strongH8624, and partlyH4481+H7118 brokenH8406. {broken: or, brittle}
And whereasH1768 thou sawestH2370 ironH6523 mixedH6151 with miryH2917 clayH2635, they shall mingle themselvesH1934+H6151 with the seedH2234 of menH606: but they shallH1934 notH3809 cleaveH1693 oneH1836 toH5974 anotherH1836, evenH1888 as ironH6523 is notH3809 mixedH6151 with clayH2635. {one…: Cald. this with this}
And in the daysH3118 of theseH581 kingsH4430 shall the GodH426 of heavenH8065 set upH6966 a kingdomH4437, which shall neverH5957+H3809 be destroyedH2255: and the kingdomH4437 shall notH3809 be leftH7662 to otherH321 peopleH5972, but it shall break in piecesH1855 and consumeH5487 allH3606 theseH459 kingdomsH4437, and itH1932 shall standH6966 for everH5957. {the days: Cald. their days} {the kingdom: Cald the kingdom thereof}
Forasmuch asH3606+H6903 thou sawestH2370 that the stoneH69 was cut outH1505 of the mountainH2906 withoutH3809 handsH3028, and that it brake in piecesH1855 the ironH6523, the brassH5174, the clayH2635, the silverH3702, and the goldH1722; the greatH7229 GodH426 hath made knownH3046 to the kingH4430 whatH4101 shall come to passH1934 hereafterH311+H1836: and the dreamH2493 is certainH3330, and the interpretationH6591 thereof sureH540. {without…: or, which was not in hands} {hereafter: Cald. after this}
ThenH116 the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 fellH5308 uponH5922 his faceH600, and worshippedH5457 DanielH1841, and commandedH560 that they should offerH5260 an oblationH4504 and sweet odoursH5208 unto him.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 unto DanielH1841, and saidH560, OfH4481 a truthH7187 it is, thatH1768 your GodH426 is a GodH426 of godsH426, and a LordH4756 of kingsH4430, and a revealerH1541 of secretsH7328, seeing thou couldestH3202 revealH1541 thisH1836 secretH7328.
ThenH116 the kingH4430 madeH7236 DanielH1841 a great manH7236, and gaveH3052 him manyH7690 greatH7260 giftsH4978, and made him rulerH7981 overH5922 the wholeH3606 provinceH4083 of BabylonH895, and chiefH7229 of the governorsH5460 overH5922 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
Then DanielH1841 requestedH1156 ofH4481 the kingH4430, and he setH4483 ShadrachH7715, MeshachH4336, and AbednegoH5665, overH5922 the affairsH5673 of the provinceH4083 of BabylonH895: but DanielH1841 sat in the gateH8651 of the kingH4430.
NebuchadnezzarH5020 the kingH4430, unto allH3606 peopleH5972, nationsH524, and languagesH3961, that dwellH1753 in allH3606 the earthH772; PeaceH8001 be multipliedH7680 unto you.
I thoughtH6925 it goodH8232 to shewH2324 the signsH852 and wondersH8540 that the highH5943 GodH426 hath wroughtH5648 towardH5974 me. {I thought…: Cald. It was seemly before me}
HowH4101 greatH7260 are his signsH852! and howH4101 mightyH8624 are his wondersH8540! his kingdomH4437 is an everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and his dominionH7985 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859.
IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 wasH1934 at restH7954 in mine houseH1005, and flourishingH7487 in my palaceH1965:
I sawH2370 a dreamH2493 which made me afraidH1763, and the thoughtsH2031 uponH5922 my bedH4903 and the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 troubledH927 me.
ThereforeH4481 madeH7761 IH4481 a decreeH2942 to bringH5954 in allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895 beforeH6925 me, that they might make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 of the dreamH2493.
ThenH116 cameH5954 in the magiciansH2749, the astrologersH826, the ChaldeansH3779, and the soothsayersH1505: and IH576 toldH560 the dreamH2493 beforeH6925 them; but they did notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
But atH5705 the lastH318 DanielH1841 came inH5922 before meH6925, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, according to the nameH8036 of my godH426, and in whom is the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426: and beforeH6925 him I toldH560 the dreamH2493, saying,
O BelteshazzarH1096, masterH7229 of the magiciansH2749, because IH576 knowH3046 that the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426 is in thee, and noH3606+H3809 secretH7328 troublethH598 thee, tellH560 me the visionsH2376 of my dreamH2493 that I have seenH2370, and the interpretationH6591 thereof.
Thus were the visionsH2376 of mine headH7217 inH5922 my bedH4903; I sawH1934+H2370, and beholdH431 a treeH363 in the midstH1459 of the earthH772, and the heightH7314 thereof was greatH7690. {I saw: Cald. I was seeing}
The treeH363 grewH7236, and was strongH8631, and the heightH7314 thereof reachedH4291 unto heavenH8065, and the sightH2379 thereof to the endH5491 of allH3606 the earthH772:
The leavesH6074 thereof were fairH8209, and the fruitH4 thereof muchH7690, and in it was meatH4203 for allH3606: the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 had shadowH2927 underH8460 it, and the fowlsH6853 of the heavenH8065 dweltH1753 in the boughsH6056 thereof, and allH3606 fleshH1321 was fedH2110 of itH4481.
I sawH1934+H2370 in the visionsH2376 of my headH7217 uponH5922 my bedH4903, and, beholdH431, a watcherH5894 and an holy oneH6922 came downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065;
He criedH7123 aloudH2429, and saidH560 thusH3652, Hew downH1414 the treeH363, and cut offH7113 his branchesH6056, shake offH5426 his leavesH6074, and scatterH921 his fruitH4: let the beastsH2423 get awayH5111 fromH4481 under itH8479, and the fowlsH6853 fromH4481 his branchesH6056: {aloud: Cald. with might}
NeverthelessH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of his rootsH8330 in the earthH772, even with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and brassH5174, in the tender grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; and let it be wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and let his portionH2508 be withH5974 the beastsH2423 in the grassH6211 of the earthH772:
Let his heartH3825 be changedH8133 fromH4481 man'sH606, and let a beast'sH2423 heartH3825 be givenH3052 unto him; and let sevenH7655 timesH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him.
This matterH6600 is by the decreeH1510 of the watchersH5894, and the demandH7595 by the wordH3983 of the holy onesH6922: toH5705 the intentH1701 that the livingH2417 may knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634, and setteth upH6966 overH5922 it the basestH8215 of menH606.
ThisH1836 dreamH2493 IH576 kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020 have seenH2370. Now thouH607, O BelteshazzarH1096, declareH560 the interpretationH6591 thereof, forasmuch asH6903 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of my kingdomH4437 are notH3809 ableH3202 to make knownH3046 unto me the interpretationH6591: but thouH607 art ableH3546; for the spiritH7308 of the holyH6922 godsH426 is in thee.
ThenH116 DanielH1841, whose nameH8036 was BelteshazzarH1096, was astoniedH8075 for oneH2298 hourH8160, and his thoughtsH7476 troubledH927 him. The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, BelteshazzarH1096, let notH409 the dreamH2493, or the interpretationH6591 thereof, troubleH927 thee. BelteshazzarH1096 answeredH6032 and saidH560, My lordH4756, the dreamH2493 be to them that hateH8131 thee, and the interpretationH6591 thereof to thine enemiesH6146.
The treeH363 that thou sawestH2370, which grewH7236, and was strongH8631, whose heightH7314 reachedH4291 unto the heavenH8065, and the sightH2379 thereof to allH3606 the earthH772;
Whose leavesH6074 were fairH8209, and the fruitH4 thereof muchH7690, and in it was meatH4203 for allH3606; underH8460 which the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251 dweltH1753, and upon whose branchesH6056 the fowlsH6853 of the heavenH8065 had their habitationH7932:
It is thouH607, O kingH4430, that art grownH7236 and become strongH8631: for thy greatnessH7238 is grownH7236, and reachethH4291 unto heavenH8065, and thy dominionH7985 to the endH5491 of the earthH772.
And whereas the kingH4430 sawH2370 a watcherH5894 and an holy oneH6922 coming downH5182 fromH4481 heavenH8065, and sayingH560, HewH1414 the treeH363 downH1414, and destroyH2255 it; yetH1297 leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of the rootsH8330 thereof in the earthH772, even with a bandH613 of ironH6523 and brassH5174, in the tender grassH1883 of the fieldH1251; and let it be wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and let his portionH2508 be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, tillH5705 sevenH7655 timesH5732 passH2499 overH5922 him;
ThisH1836 is the interpretationH6591, O kingH4430, and thisH1932 is the decreeH1510 of the most HighH5943, which is comeH4291 uponH5922 my lordH4756 the kingH4430:
That they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall beH1934 withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251, and they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and they shall wetH6647 thee with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, tillH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
And whereas they commandedH560 to leaveH7662 the stumpH6136 of the treeH363 rootsH8330; thy kingdomH4437 shall be sureH7011 unto thee, afterH4481 that thou shalt have knownH3046 that the heavensH8065 do ruleH7990.
WhereforeH3861, O kingH4430, let my counselH4431 be acceptableH8232 unto theeH5922, and break offH6562 thy sinsH2408 by righteousnessH6665, and thine iniquitiesH5758 by shewing mercyH2604 to the poorH6033; ifH2006 it may beH1934 a lengtheningH754 of thy tranquillityH7963. {a lengthening…: or, an healing of thine error}
AllH3606 this cameH4291 uponH5922 the kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020.
At the endH7118 of twelveH8648+H6236 monthsH3393 he walkedH1934+H1981 inH5922 the palaceH1965 of the kingdomH4437 of BabylonH895. {in: or, upon}
The kingH4430 spakeH6032, and saidH560, Is notH3809 thisH1932+H1668 greatH7229 BabylonH895, that IH576 have builtH1124 for the houseH1005 of the kingdomH4437 by the mightH8632 of my powerH2632, and for the honourH3367 of my majestyH1923?
WhileH5751 the wordH4406 was in the king'sH4430 mouthH6433, there fellH5308 a voiceH7032 fromH4481 heavenH8065, saying, O kingH4430 NebuchadnezzarH5020, to thee it is spokenH560; The kingdomH4437 is departedH5709 fromH4481 thee.
And they shall driveH2957 thee fromH4481 menH606, and thy dwellingH4070 shall be withH5974 the beastsH2423 of the fieldH1251: they shall make thee to eatH2939 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and sevenH7655 timesH5732 shall passH2499 overH5922 thee, untilH5705 thou knowH3046 that the most HighH5943 rulethH7990 in the kingdomH4437 of menH606, and givethH5415 it to whomsoeverH4479 he willH6634.
The same hourH8160 was the thingH4406 fulfilledH5487 uponH5922 NebuchadnezzarH5020: and he was drivenH2957 fromH4481 menH606, and did eatH399 grassH6211 as oxenH8450, and his bodyH1655 was wetH6647 with the dewH2920 of heavenH8065, tillH5705 his hairsH8177 were grownH7236 like eagles'H5403 feathers, and his nailsH2953 like birds'H6853 claws.
And at the endH7118 of the daysH3118 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 lifted upH5191 mine eyesH5870 unto heavenH8065, and mine understandingH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922, and I blessedH1289 the most HighH5943, and I praisedH7624 and honouredH1922 him that livethH2417 for everH5957, whose dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985, and his kingdomH4437 is fromH5974 generationH1859 to generationH1859:
And allH3606 the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772 are reputedH2804 as nothingH3809: and he doethH5648 according to his willH6634 in the armyH2429 of heavenH8065, and among the inhabitantsH1753 of the earthH772: and noneH3809 canH383 stayH4223 his handH3028, or sayH560 unto him, WhatH4101 doestH5648 thou?
At the same timeH2166 my reasonH4486 returnedH8421 unto meH5922; and for the gloryH3367 of my kingdomH4437, mine honourH1923 and brightnessH2122 returnedH8421 unto meH5922; and my counsellorsH1907 and my lordsH7261 soughtH1156 unto meH5922; and I was establishedH8627 in my kingdomH4437, and excellentH3493 majestyH7238 was addedH3255 unto me.
NowH3705 IH576 NebuchadnezzarH5020 praiseH7624 and extolH7313 and honourH1922 the KingH4430 of heavenH8065, allH3606 whose worksH4567 are truthH7187, and his waysH735 judgmentH1780: and those that walkH1981 in prideH1467 he is ableH3202 to abaseH8214.
In the firstH2298 yearH8140 of BelshazzarH1113 kingH4430 of BabylonH895 DanielH1841 hadH2370 a dreamH2493 and visionsH2376 of his headH7217 uponH5922 his bedH4903: thenH116 he wroteH3790 the dreamH2493, and toldH560 the sumH7217 of the mattersH4406. {had: Cald. saw} {matters: or, words}
ButG1161 while heG846 thought onG1760 these thingsG5023, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearedG5316 unto himG846 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, JosephG2501, thou sonG5207 of DavidG1138, fearG5399 notG3361 to takeG3880 unto theeG4675 MaryG3137 thy wifeG1135: forG1063 that which is conceivedG1080 inG1722 herG846 isG2076 ofG1537 the HolyG40 GhostG4151. {conceived: Gr. begotten}
AndG2532 being warned of GodG5537 inG2596 a dreamG3677 that they shouldG344 notG3361 returnG344 toG4314 HerodG2264, they departedG402 intoG1519 their ownG846 countryG5561 anotherG1223+G243 wayG3598.
AndG1161 when theyG846 were departedG402, beholdG2400, the angelG32 of the LordG2962 appearethG5316 to JosephG2501 inG2596 a dreamG3677, sayingG3004, AriseG1453, and takeG3880 the young childG3813 andG2532 hisG846 motherG3384, andG2532 fleeG5343 intoG1519 EgyptG125, andG2532 be thouG2468 thereG1563 untilG2193 IG302 bringG2036 theeG4671 wordG2036: forG1063 HerodG2264 willG3195 seekG2212 the young childG3813 to destroyG622 himG846.
