Daniel 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 2:3

And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream
What before is called dreams is here expressed in the singular, a dream; for it was but one dream, though it contained in it various things; this the king could remember, that he had a dream; for it had left some impression on his mind, though he could not call to mind what it was about. Aben Ezra makes mention of one of their Gaons or Rabbins, that affirmed that Nebuchadnezzar knew his dream, but was willing to try the wise men; but, as he observes, he could not surely believe the words of Daniel: and my spirit was troubled to know the dream;
both that, and the meaning of it; he says nothing as yet about the interpretation of it; concluding that, if they could tell him the dream, they could explain it to him; or then it would be time enough to inquire after that.

Daniel 2:3 In-Context

1 En el segundo año de su reinado, Nabucodonosor tuvo varios sueños que lo perturbaron y no lo dejaban dormir.

2 Mandó entonces que se reunieran los magos, hechiceros, adivinos y astrólogos de su reino, para que le dijeran lo que había soñado. Una vez reunidos, y ya en presencia del rey,

3 este les dijo:—Tuve un sueño que me tiene preocupado, y quiero saber lo que significa.

4 Los astrólogos le respondieron:—¡Que viva Su Majestad por siempre! Estamos a su servicio. Cuéntenos el sueño, y nosotros le diremos lo que significa.

5 Pero el rey les advirtió:—Mi decisión ya está tomada: Si no me dicen lo que soñé, ni me dan su interpretación, ordenaré que los corten en pedazos y que sus casas sean reducidas a cenizas.
