Daniel 2:39
Konteks2:39 Now after you another kingdom 1 will arise, one inferior to yours. Then a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule in all the earth.
Daniel 4:17
Konteks4:17 This announcement is by the decree of the sentinels;
this decision is by the pronouncement of the holy ones,
so that 2 those who are alive may understand
that the Most High has authority over human kingdoms, 3
and he bestows them on whomever he wishes.
He establishes over them even the lowliest of human beings.’
Daniel 7:23
Konteks7:23 “This is what he told me: 4
‘The fourth beast means that there will be a fourth kingdom on earth
that will differ from all the other kingdoms.
It will devour all the earth
and will trample and crush it.
[2:39] 1 sn The identity of the first kingdom is clearly Babylon. The identification of the following three kingdoms is disputed. The common view is that they represent Media, Persia, and Greece. Most conservative scholars identify them as Media-Persia, Greece, and Rome.
[4:17] 2 tc The present translation follows an underlying reading of עַל־דִּבְרַת (’al-divrat, “so that”) rather than MT עַד־דִּבְרַת (’ad-divrat, “until”).
[4:17] 3 tn Aram “the kingdom of man”; NASB “the realm of mankind”; NCV “every kingdom on earth.”
