Compare all
31 “You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome.
32 aThis image’s head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and1 thighs of bronze,  
33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of1 clay.  
34 You watched while a stone was cut out awithout hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.  
35 aThen the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became blike chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that cno trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image dbecame a great mountain eand filled the whole earth.  
36 “This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.
37 aYou, O king, are a king of kings. bFor the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory;

Daniel 2:33

As the two arms of silver denote the kings of the Medes and Persians [JOSEPHUS]; and the two thighs of brass the Seleucidæ of Syria and Lagidæ of Egypt, the two leading sections into which Græco-Macedonia parted, so the two legs of iron signify the two Roman consuls [NEWTON]. The clay, in Daniel 2:41, "potter's clay," Daniel 2:43, "miry clay," means "earthenware," hard but brittle (compare Psalms 2:9; Revelation 2:27, where the same image is used of the same event); the feet are stable while bearing only direct pressure, but easily "broken" to pieces by a blow (Daniel 2:34), the iron intermixed not retarding, but hastening, such a result.
