Daniel 8:22

8:22 The horn that was broken ¹  and in whose place there arose four others stands for four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, though they will not have his strength.

Daniel 7:6

7:6 “After these things, ²  as I was watching, another beast ³  like a leopard appeared, with four bird-like wings on its back. ⁴  This beast had four heads, ⁵  and ruling authority was given to it.

Daniel 11:4

11:4 Shortly after his rise to power, ⁶  his kingdom will be broken up and distributed toward the four winds of the sky ⁷  – but not to his posterity or with the authority he exercised, for his kingdom will be uprooted and distributed to others besides these.

[8:22]  ¹ tn Heb “the broken one.” The word “horn” has been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent.

[7:6]  ² tn Aram “this.” So also in v. 7.

[7:6]  ³ tn Aram “and behold, another one.”

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Or “sides.”

[7:6]  ⁵ sn If the third animal is Greece, the most likely identification of these four heads is the four-fold division of the empire of Alexander the Great following his death. See note on Dan 8:8.

[11:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “and when he stands.”

[11:4]  ⁷ tn Or “the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.
