Nebuchadnezzar tells Belteshazzar of the tree and the holy watcher he saw in his dream

느부갓네살이 꿈에 본 나무와 순찰자를 벨드사살에게 말함

Daniel 4:10–18: Nebuchadnezzar’s words to Belteshazzar go on, “These were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth; and its height was great. The tree grew and was strong. Its height reached to the sky and its sight to the end of all the earth. Its leaves were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a holy watcher came down from the sky. He cried aloud and said this: ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it and the birds from its branches. Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth. Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him. Then let seven times pass over him. The sentence is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.’ This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.” The Korean Revised Version reads 한 순찰자, 한 거룩한 자 (a watcher, a holy one) where WEB reads “a holy watcher” (4:13); at 4:15–16, where WEB turns to “his portion” and “let seven times pass over him”, it keeps 그 분량 (its portion) and says 일곱 때를 지나리라 (seven times will pass).

    10These were the visions of my head on my bed: I saw, and behold, a tree in the middle of the earth; and its height was great.

    11The tree grew and was strong. Its height reached to the sky and its sight to the end of all the earth.

    12Its leaves were beautiful, and it had much fruit, and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shade under it, and the birds of the sky lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.

    13“I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a holy watcher came down from the sky.

    14He cried aloud and said this: ‘Cut down the tree, and cut off its branches! Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit! Let the animals get away from under it and the birds from its branches.

    15Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of the sky. Let his portion be with the animals in the grass of the earth.

    16Let his heart be changed from man’s, and let an animal’s heart be given to him. Then let seven times pass over him.

    17“‘The sentence is by the decree of the watchers and the demand by the word of the holy ones, to the intent that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he will, and sets up over it the lowest of men.’

    18“This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
