Your dream and the visions that came into your mind as you lay on your bed were these:Daniel 2:37 · אֱלָ֣הּYou, O king, are the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given sovereignty, power, strength, and glory.Daniel 2:44 · אֱלָ֨הּIn the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people.

But if you refuse to worship, you will be thrown at once into the blazing fiery furnace. Then what god will be able to deliver you from my hands?”Daniel 3:17 · אֱלָהַ֙נָא֙If the God whom we serve exists, then He is able to deliver us from the blazing fiery furnace and from your hand, O king.Daniel 3:18 · לֵֽאלָהָךְ֙But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden statue you have set up.”Daniel 3:25 · אֱלָהִֽין׃ ס“Look!” he exclaimed. “I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking around in the fire—and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!”Daniel 3:26 · אֱלָהָ֥אThen Nebuchadnezzar approached the door of the blazing fiery furnace and called out, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire,Daniel 3:28 · אֱלָהֲהוֹן֙ · אֱלָ֔הּ · לֵאלָֽהֲהֽוֹן׃Nebuchadnezzar declared, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him. They violated the king’s command and risked their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.Daniel 3:29 · אֱלָהֲה֗וֹן · אֱלָ֣הTherefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be cut into pieces and their houses reduced to rubble. For there is no other god who can deliver in this way.”Daniel 4:2 · אֱלָהָ֖אI am pleased to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.Daniel 4:8 · אֱלָהִ֔י · אֱלָהִ֥יןBut at last, into my presence came Daniel (whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods). And I told him the dream:Daniel 4:9 · אֱלָהִ֤ין“O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery baffles you. So explain to me the visions I saw in my dream, and their interpretation.Daniel 4:18 · אֱלָהִ֥יןThis is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because none of the wise men of my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you are able, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”Daniel 5:3 · אֱלָהָ֖אThus they brought in the gold vessels that had been taken from the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king drank from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.Daniel 5:4 · לֵֽאלָהֵ֞יAs they drank the wine, they praised their gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.Daniel 5:11 · אֱלָהִ֣ין · אֱלָהִ֖יןThere is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king,Daniel 5:14 · אֱלָהִ֖יןI have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and extraordinary wisdom.Daniel 5:18 · אֱלָהָא֙As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.Daniel 5:21 · אֱלָהָ֤אHe was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.Daniel 5:23 · וְלֵֽאלָהֵ֣י · וְלֵֽאלָהָ֞אInstead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.Daniel 5:26 · אֱלָהָ֥אAnd this is the interpretation of the message: MENE means that God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.Daniel 6:5 · אֱלָהֵֽהּ׃ סFinally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”Daniel 6:7 · אֱלָ֨הּAll the royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers, and governors have agreed that the king should establish an ordinance and enforce a decree that for thirty days anyone who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions.Daniel 6:10 · אֱלָהֵ֔הּNow when Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house, where the windows of his upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.Daniel 6:11 · אֱלָהֵֽהּ׃Then these men went as a group and found Daniel petitioning and imploring his God.Daniel 6:12 · אֱלָ֨הּSo they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”Daniel 6:16 · אֱלָהָ֗ךְSo the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the den of lions. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”Daniel 6:20 · אֱלָהָ֣א · אֱלָהָ֗ךְWhen he reached the den, he cried out in a voice of anguish, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?”Daniel 6:22 · אֱלָהִ֞יMy God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, for I was found innocent in His sight, and I have done no wrong against you, O king.”Daniel 6:23 · בֵּאלָהֵֽהּ׃The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds whatsoever were found on him, because he had trusted in his God.Daniel 6:26 · אֱלָהֵ֣הּ · אֱלָהָ֣אI hereby decree that in every part of my kingdom, men are to tremble in fear before the God of Daniel: For He is the living God, and He endures forever; His kingdom will never be destroyed, and His dominion will never end.
