Daniel 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.

Daniel 4:9 In-Context

7 Y vinieron magos, astrólogos, caldeos, y adivinos; y dije el sueño delante de ellos, mas nunca me mostraron su declaración

8 hasta tanto que entró delante de mí Daniel, cuyo nombre es Beltasar, que cuando lo nombro me parece que nombro a mi dios, y en el cual hay espíritu del santo Dios, y dije el sueño delante de él, diciendo

9 Beltasar, príncipe de los sabios, ya que he entendido que hay en ti espíritu del santo Dios, y que ningún misterio se te esconde, dime las visiones de mi sueño que he visto, y su declaración

10 Las visiones de mi cabeza en mi cama eran: Me parecía que veía un árbol en medio de la tierra, cuya altura era grande

11 Crecía este árbol, y se hacía fuerte, y su altura llegaba hasta el cielo, y su vista hasta el cabo de toda la tierra
