Daniel 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:7

They answered again, and said
Or, a "second" ^F5 time; repeating the same words, having nothing more to say: let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will show the
interpretation thereof;
the first part was but right and reasonable, though the latter was mere boasting and arrogancy.

Daniel 2:7 In-Context

5 The king answered and said to the Kasdim (Chaldeans), The decision from me is firm; if ye will not give me da’as of the chalom (dream), with the pesher (interpretation, explanation) thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a pile of rubble;

6 But if ye show the chalom (dream), and the pesher (interpretation, explanation) thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honor; therefore show me the chalom (dream), and the pesher (interpretation, explanation) thereof.

7 They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the chalom (dream), and we will show the pesher (interpretation, explanation) of it.

8 The king answered and said, I have da’as of certainty that ye would gain time, because ye see the decision from me is firm.

9 But if ye will not give me da’as of the chalom (dream), there is but one decree for you; for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the tide is turned; therefore tell me the chalom (dream), and I shall have da’as that ye can show me the pesher (interpretation, explanation) thereof.
