Daniel 8:2-16

2And I sawH7200 in a visionH2377; and it came to pass, when I sawH7200, that I was at ShushanH7800 in the palaceH1002, which is in the provinceH4082 of ElamH5867; and I sawH7200 in a visionH2377, and I was by the riverH180 UlaiH195. 3Then I lifted upH5375 my eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180 aH259 ramH352 which had two hornsH7161: and the two hornsH7161 were highH1364; but oneH259 was higherH1364 than the otherH8145, and the higherH1364 came upH5927 lastH314.1 4I sawH7200 the ramH352 pushingH5055 westwardH3220, and northwardH6828, and southwardH5045; so that no beastsH2416 might standH5975 beforeH6440 him, neither was there any that could deliverH5337 out of his handH3027; but he didH6213 according to his willH7522, and became greatH1431. 5And as I was consideringH995, behold, a maleH5795 goatH6842 cameH935 from the westH4628 on the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776, and touchedH5060 not the groundH776: and the goatH6842 had a notableH2380 hornH7161 between his eyesH5869.23 6And he cameH935 to the ramH352 that hadH1167 two hornsH7161, which I had seenH7200 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the riverH180, and ranH7323 to him in the furyH2534 of his powerH3581. 7And I sawH7200 him comeH5060 close toH681 the ramH352, and he was moved with angerH4843 against him, and smoteH5221 the ramH352, and brokeH7665 his twoH8147 hornsH7161: and there was no powerH3581 in the ramH352 to standH5975 beforeH6440 him, but he cast him downH7993 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon him: and there was none that could deliverH5337 the ramH352 out of his handH3027. 8Therefore the maleH6842 goatH5795 became veryH3966 greatH1431: and when he was strongH6105, the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and in its stead came upH5927 fourH702 notable onesH2380 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064. 9And out of oneH259 of them came forthH3318 a littleH4704 hornH7161, which became exceedingH3499 greatH1431, toward the southH5045, and toward the eastH4217, and toward the pleasantH6643 land . 10And it grew greatH1431, even to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064; and it cast downH5307 some of the hostH6635 and of the starsH3556 to the groundH776, and stampedH7429 upon them.4 11Yea, he magnifiedH1431 himself even to the princeH8269 of the hostH6635, and by him the dailyH8548 sacrifice was taken awayH7311, and the placeH4349 of his sanctuaryH4720 was cast downH7993.56 12And an hostH6635 was givenH5414 him against the dailyH8548 sacrifice by reason of transgressionH6588, and it cast downH7993 the truthH571 to the groundH776; and it continuedH6213, and prosperedH6743.7 13Then I heardH8085 oneH259 saintH6918 speakingH1696, and anotherH259 saintH6918 saidH559 to that certainH6422 saint who spokeH1696, How long shall be the visionH2377 concerning the dailyH8548 sacrifice, and the transgressionH6588 of desolationH8074, to giveH5414 both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trodden under footH4823?89 14And he saidH559 to me, Until two thousandH505 and threeH7969 hundredH3967 daysH6153H1242; then shall the sanctuaryH6944 be cleansedH6663.1011

15And it came to pass, when I, even I DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, and soughtH1245 for the meaningH998, then, behold, there stoodH5975 before me one having the appearanceH4758 of a manH1397. 16And I heardH8085 a man’sH120 voiceH6963 between the banks of UlaiH195, which calledH7121, and saidH559, GabrielH1403, make thisH1975 man to understandH995 the visionH4758.
