(rage with might. H.)
7 And I saw him come neare vnto the ramme, and beeing mooued (moouing himselfe.
H.) against him, he smote the ramme, and brake his two hornes: and there was no power in
the ramme to stand against him, but he cast him downe to the ground, and trampled on him,
and there was none that could deliuer the ramme out of his power (hand. H.)
8 Therefore the goat (kid of the goates. H.) waxed exceeding great, and when he was at
the strongest, his great horne was broken, & there grew vp for it foure notable ones, B. (that
appeared. G.) toward the foure winds of heauen.
9 And out of one of them came forth a little (not a strong. S.) horne, which waxed very
great toward the South, and toward the East, and toward the pleasant land. (against the
strength. L. tebi, signifieth delectable. pleasant, and thereby is meant Iudea.
10 And it extolled it selfe I. L. S. (grew vp. B. G. extended it selfe. V.) against the hoast of
heauen, and cast downe to the earth some of the hoast, and of the starres, and trampled on
them.
11 And it extolled it selfe (or magnified) euen vnto the prince (against the prince. G.) of
the host: for from him (from whome. B. G.) was taken away the daily sacrifice, and the place
of the Sanctuarie was cast downe.
12 And the host was deliuered vp to sinne against the daily sacrifice I. V. (better then
power was giuen vnto it ouer the daily sacrifice for the iniquitie. L. or a time shall be giuen him
ouer the daily sacrifice for iniquitie. G. and so Mercer. in c. 7. Iob. v. 1. but the word (tzaba) must
be here taken as in the former verse, to signifie an armie, the host of the Lords people▪ see fur∣ther
hereof qu. 21. following) and it shall cast downe the truth to the ground, thus shall it doe
and prosper.
13 Then I heard one of the Saints speaking, for one of the Saints spoke vnto phelmoni,
S. Br. B. (that is, to an excellent one. V. to one that hath secret things in account or number. I.
to a certaine one. G. L. the Hebrew word is better ioyned, because of the ambiguous significati∣on,
see qu. 22.) saying, How long shall endure the vision of the daily sacrifice, and the iniquitie
of desolation, to giue both the Sanctuarie and host to be trampled vpon? (to be a trampling▪
H.)
14 And he said vnto me, Vnto the euening and morning, two thousand, and three hun∣dreth:
(that is, so many daies) then shall the Sanctuarie be restored (clensed. B. G. L. S. be iusti∣fied.
H.)
15 Now so it was (B. G. det.) when I Daniel had seene the vision, and sought for the vn∣derstanding,
that behold there stood before me, as the similitude (sight or shew. H.) of a
man.
16 And I heard a mans voice betweene Vlai (that is, betweene the banks of that riuer)
which called and said, Gabriel, make this man to vnderstand the vision.
17 So he came, where I stood: and when he came I was afraid, and fell vpon my face:
then he said vnto me, Vnderstand, O sonne of man: for in the limited time (not in the end af∣ter
the captiuitie. V. the sense rather then the words, nor in the last times. G. time of the end. H.
which is called (v. 19. moghed ketz) the appointed time of the ende) shall be the vision.
18 Now as he was speaking vnto me, I was as in a slumber (better then sleepe. G.) falling
on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me vp in my place.
19 And he said, Behold, I will shew thee, what shall be in the last wrath (or vnto the last
or extreamitie of wrath. I.) for in the appointed time of the ende H. (not the ende of the time
appointed. G. or the time appointed hath his ende. L.) it shall be.
20 The ramme which thou sawest hauing two hornes, are the kings of the Medes and
Persians.
21 And the hairie (B. G. L. det.) goat is the king of Grecia, and the great horne which is
betweene his eyes, is the first king.
22 And that that is broken, and foure stood vp for it, are foure kingdomes (not foure
kings. L. S.) which shall stand vp of his nation, but not in his strength.
23 And in the latter part of their kingdome, S. (not after their kingdome. L. for Antio∣chus
raigned before the kingdome was dissolued, or, in the ende of that kingdome. V. B. G. which
Ab. Ezra restraineth to the ende of their kingdome ouer Iudea, which Antiochus Epiphanes
had the last dominion of. R. Saadiah vnderstandeth the kingdome of the foure successors of A∣lexander,
but their kingdome was ended an 100. yeares before Antiochus raigned: this fell out
