Daniel 8:2New Messianic Version BibleAnd I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I [was] at Shushan [lily] [in] the palace, which [is] in the province of ‘Eilam [eternity]; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai [my leaders]. See the chapter |
There [is] ‘Eilam [eternity] and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the lower parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
The children of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known)); ‘‘Eilam [eternity] (Hidden; Young Man or Always; Perhaps alluding to hidden secrets of the future), and Ashur (level plain; over the flames), and Arpakhshad, and Lud [strife] (no real meaning in Hebrew; possibly: to turn aside; strife), and Aram (citadel, palace; elevated, lifted up).
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Ashur [the level plain] (the land of the sons of Shem (name, renown (great reputation; being well-known))), and from Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place], and from Patros [region of the south], and from Cush (Ethiopia) [black], and from ‘Eilam [eternity], and from Shin’ar [country of two rivers], and from Hamat [Fortress], and from the islands of the sea.
