Daniele 4:9

Listen to Daniele 4:9
9 O Beltsasar, capo de’ magi; conciossiachè io sappia che lo spirito degl’iddii santi è in te, e che niun segreto ti è difficile; di’ le visioni del mio sogno, che io veduto, cioè, la sua interpretazione.

Daniele 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 4:9

O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians
So he called him, either because he excelled them in knowledge, and was greater than they, as Jacchiades; though not of their rank and order, which Daniel would have scorned to have been among, and reckoned of; so that this would have been no compliment, but a grief unto him; or because he was appointed by the king chief over them, and even over their governors; (See Gill on Daniel 2:48): because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee;
(See Gill on Daniel 4:8); and no secret troubleth thee;
any ways perplexes thy mind to find it out; it is easy to thee to come at; it gives thee no manner of trouble to get knowledge of it; there is no secret hidden from thee; all is plain before thee, and with the utmost facility canst thou reveal it: tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen;
that is, the meaning of them; for the king remembered this his dream, and afterwards tells it very particularly: and the interpretation of it;
it may be rendered, "that is, the interpretation of it" F8; for that only was what the king wanted.

Daniele 4:9 In-Context

7 Allora vennero i magi, gli astrologi, i Caldei, e gl’indovini; ed io dissi loro il sogno; ma non me ne poterono dichiarare l’interpretazione.
8 Ma all’ultimo venne in mia presenza Daniele, il cui nome è Beltsasar, secondo il nome del mio dio, e in cui è lo spirito degl’iddii santi; ed io raccontai il sogno davanti a lui, dicendo:
9 O Beltsasar, capo de’ magi; conciossiachè io sappia che lo spirito degl’iddii santi è in te, e che niun segreto ti è difficile; di’ le visioni del mio sogno, che io veduto, cioè, la sua interpretazione.
10 Or le visioni del mio capo, in sul mio letto, erano tali: Io riguardava, ed ecco un albero, in mezzo della terra, la cui altezza era grande.
11 Quell’albero era grande, e forte, e la sua cima giungeva al cielo, e i suoi rami si stendevano fino all’estremità della terra.
