8:1 In the third 7969 year 8141 of the reign 4438 of king 4428 Belshazzar 1112 a vision 2377 appeared 7200 8738 unto me, [even unto] me Daniel 1840, after 310 that which appeared 7200 8738 unto me at the first 8462.

8:2 And I saw 7200 8799 in a vision 2377; and it came to pass, when I saw 7200 8800, that I [was] at Shushan 7800 [in] the palace 1002, which [is] in the province 4082 of Elam 5867; and I saw 7200 8799 in a vision 2377, and I was by the river 180 of Ulai 195.

8:3 Then I lifted up 5375 8799 mine eyes 5869, and saw 7200 8799, and, behold, there stood 5975 8802 before 6440 the river 180 a 259 ram 352 which had [two] horns 7161: and the [two] horns 7161 [were] high 1364; but one 259 [was] higher 1364 than the other 8145, and the higher 1364 came up 5927 8802 last 314.(the other: Heb. the second)

8:4 I saw 7200 8804 the ram 352 pushing 5055 8764 westward 3220, and northward 6828, and southward 5045; so that no beasts 2416 might stand 5975 8799 before 6440 him, neither [was there any] that could deliver 5337 8688 out of his hand 3027; but he did 6213 8804 according to his will 7522, and became great 1431 8689.

8:5 And as I was considering 995 8688, behold, an he 5795 goat 6842 came 935 8802 from the west 4628 on the face 6440 of the whole earth 776, and touched 5060 8802 not the ground 776: and the goat 6842 [had] a notable 2380 horn 7161 between his eyes 5869.(touched…: or, none touched him in the earth)(a notable…: Heb. a horn of sight)

8:6 And he came 935 8799 to the ram 352 that had 1167 [two] horns 7161, which I had seen 7200 8804 standing 5975 8802 before 6440 the river 180, and ran 7323 8799 unto him in the fury 2534 of his power 3581.

8:7 And I saw 7200 8804 him come 5060 8688 close unto 681 the ram 352, and he was moved with choler 4843 8698 against him, and smote 5221 8686 the ram 352, and brake 7665 8762 his two 8147 horns 7161: and there was no power 3581 in the ram 352 to stand 5975 8800 before 6440 him, but he cast him down 7993 8686 to the ground 776, and stamped 7429 8799 upon him: and there was none that could deliver 5337 8688 the ram 352 out of his hand 3027.

8:8 Therefore the he 6842 goat 5795 waxed very 3966 great 1431 8689: and when he was strong 6105 8800, the great 1419 horn 7161 was broken 7665 8738; and for it came up 5927 8799 four 702 notable ones 2380 toward the four 702 winds 7307 of heaven 8064.

8:9 And out of one 259 of them came forth 3318 8804 a little 4704 horn 7161, which waxed exceeding 3499 great 1431 8799, toward the south 5045, and toward the east 4217, and toward the pleasant 6643 [land].

8:10 And it waxed great 1431 8799, [even] to the host 6635 of heaven 8064; and it cast down 5307 8686 [some] of the host 6635 and of the stars 3556 to the ground 776, and stamped 7429 8799 upon them.(to the host: or, against the host)

8:11 Yea, he magnified 1431 8689 [himself] even to the prince 8269 of the host 6635, and by him the daily 8548 [sacrifice] was taken away 7311 8717 8675 7311 8689, and the place 4349 of his sanctuary 4720 was cast down 7993 8717.(to: or, against)(by him: or, from him)

8:12 And an host 6635 was given 5414 8735 [him] against the daily 8548 [sacrifice] by reason of transgression 6588, and it cast down 7993 8686 the truth 571 to the ground 776; and it practised 6213 8804, and prospered 6743 8689.(an host…: or, the host was given over for the transgression against the daily sacrifice)

8:13 Then I heard 8085 8799 one 259 saint 6918 speaking 1696 8764, and another 259 saint 6918 said 559 8799 unto that certain 6422 [saint] which spake 1696 8764, How long [shall be] the vision 2377 [concerning] the daily 8548 [sacrifice], and the transgression 6588 of desolation 8074 8802, to give 5414 8800 both the sanctuary 6944 and the host 6635 to be trodden under foot 4823?(that…: or, the numberer of secrets, or, the wonderful numberer: Heb. Palmoni)(of…: or, making desolate)

8:14 And he said 559 8799 unto me, Unto two thousand 505 and three 7969 hundred 3967 days 6153 1242; then shall the sanctuary 6944 be cleansed 6663 8738.(days: Heb. evening morning)(cleansed: Heb. justified)

8:15 And it came to pass, when I, [even] I Daniel 1840, had seen 7200 8800 the vision 2377, and sought 1245 8762 for the meaning 998, then, behold, there stood 5975 8802 before me as the appearance 4758 of a man 1397.

8:16 And I heard 8085 8799 a man's 120 voice 6963 between [the banks of] Ulai 195, which called 7121 8799, and said 559 8799, Gabriel 1403, make this 1975 [man] to understand 995 8685 the vision 4758.

8:17 So he came 935 8799 near 681 where I stood 5977: and when he came 935 8800, I was afraid 1204 8738, and fell 5307 8799 upon my face 6440: but he said 559 8799 unto me, Understand 995 8685, O son 1121 of man 120: for at the time 6256 of the end 7093 [shall be] the vision 2377.

8:18 Now as he was speaking 1696 8763 with me, I was in a deep sleep 7290 8738 on my face 6440 toward the ground 776: but he touched 5060 8799 me, and set 5975 8686 me upright 5977.(set…: Heb. made me stand upon my standing)

8:19 And he said 559 8799, Behold, I will make thee know 3045 8688 what shall be in the last end 319 of the indignation 2195: for at the time appointed 4150 the end 7093 [shall be].

8:20 The ram 352 which thou sawest 7200 8804 having 1167 [two] horns 7161 [are] the kings 4428 of Media 4074 and Persia 6539.

8:21 And the rough 8163 goat 6842 [is] the king 4428 of Grecia 3120: and the great 1419 horn 7161 that [is] between his eyes 5869 [is] the first 7223 king 4428.

8:22 Now that being broken 7665 8737, whereas four 702 stood up 5975 8799 for it, four 702 kingdoms 4438 shall stand up 5975 8799 out of the nation 1471, but not in his power 3581.

8:23 And in the latter time 319 of their kingdom 4438, when the transgressors 6586 8802 are come to the full 8552 8687, a king 4428 of fierce 5794 countenance 6440, and understanding 995 8688 dark sentences 2420, shall stand up 5975 8799.(are…: Heb. are accomplished)

8:24 And his power 3581 shall be mighty 6105 8804, but not by his own power 3581: and he shall destroy 7843 8686 wonderfully 6381 8737, and shall prosper 6743 8689, and practise 6213 8804, and shall destroy 7843 8689 the mighty 6099 and the holy 6918 people 5971.(holy…: Heb. people of the holy ones)

8:25 And through his policy 7922 also he shall cause craft 4820 to prosper 6743 8689 in his hand 3027; and he shall magnify 1431 8686 [himself] in his heart 3824, and by peace 7962 shall destroy 7843 8686 many 7227: he shall also stand up 5975 8799 against the Prince 8269 of princes 8269; but he shall be broken 7665 8735 without 657 hand 3027.(peace: or, prosperity)

8:26 And the vision 4758 of the evening 6153 and the morning 1242 which was told 559 8738 [is] true 571: wherefore shut thou up 5640 8798 the vision 2377; for it [shall be] for many 7227 days 3117.

8:27 And I Daniel 1840 fainted 1961 8738, and was sick 2470 8738 [certain] days 3117; afterward I rose up 6965 8799, and did 6213 8799 the king's 4428 business 4399; and I was astonished 8074 8709 at the vision 4758, but none understood 995 8688 [it].
