6 So I issued a decree to bring in all the wise ones of Baḇel before me, to make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 So the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the diviners came in, and I related the dream to them, but its interpretation they did not make known to me.
8 And at last Dani’ĕl, whose name is Bĕlteshatstsar, according to the name of my elah, came before me. In him is the Spirit of the Set-apart Elah. So I related the dream to him, saying,
9 “Bĕlteshatstsar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Set-apart Elah is in you, and no secret is too difficult for you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 “Now the visions of my head on my bed were these: I looked, and saw a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height great.
11 “The tree became great and strong, and its height reached to the heavens, and it was visible to the ends of all the earth.
12 “Its leaves were lovely, and its fruit plenty, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it.
