Daniel 4:8
Belteshazzar—called so from the god Bel or Belus (see on Daniel 1:7).
6 Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 aThen the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
8 But at last Daniel came before me a(his name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god; bin him is the Spirit of the Holy God), and I told the dream before him, saying:
9 “Belteshazzar, achief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 “These were the visions of my head while on my bed:
I was looking, and behold,
aA tree in the midst of the earth,
And its height was great.
I was looking, and behold,
aA tree in the midst of the earth,
And its height was great.
11 The tree grew and became strong;
Its height reached to the heavens,
And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
Its height reached to the heavens,
And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
