In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions in his head while on his bed. Then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
When he stands up, his kingdom will be broken and will 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 will be plucked up, even for others besides these.
I, Daniel, 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.
in the first year of his reign I, Daniel, understood by the books the number of the years about which YHWH’s word came to Jeremiah the prophet for the accomplishing of the desolations of Jerusalem, even seventy years.
Now in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
I saw the vision. Now it was so, that when I saw, I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
