Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Kevar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
I, Daniyel, alone saw the vision; for the men who were with me didn't see the vision; but a great quaking fell on them, and they fled to hide themselves.
When he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of the sky, but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others besides these.
In the first year of Belshatzar king of Bavel Daniyel had a dream and visions of his head on his bed: then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
It happened, when I, even I Daniyel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of `Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniyel, understood by the books the number of the years about which the word of the LORD came to Yirmeyahu the prophet, for the accomplishing of the desolations of Yerushalayim, even seventy years.
