And Yoseph says to them, Are not interpretations from Elohim? Describe me them, I beseech you. ⁹ And the governor of the butlers describes his dream to Yoseph and says to him, In my dream, behold, a vine at my face; ¹⁰ and in the vine, three tendrils as blossoming; and her blossoms ascend: and the clusters thereof ripen grapes: ¹¹ and the cup of Paroh is in my hand: and I take the grapes and press them into the cup of Paroh and I give the cup into the palm of Paroh. ¹² And Yoseph says to him, This is the interpretation thereof: The three tendrils are three days: ¹³ yet within three days Paroh lifts your head and restores you to your station: and you give the cup of Paroh into his hand, as the first judgment when you were his butler. ¹⁴ But remember me when you are well-pleased; and work mercy, I beseech you, to me and remember me to Paroh and bring me from this house: ¹⁵ for in stealing, I was stolen from the land of the Hebrews: and here also I worked naught that they put me into the well. ¹⁶ When the governor of the bakers sees the interpretation is good, he says to Yoseph, I also - in my dream, and behold, three perforated baskets on my head: ¹⁷ and in the uppermost basket are the works of a baker for Paroh; and the flyers eat them from the basket on my head. ¹⁸ And Yoseph answers and says, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days: ¹⁹ again within three days Paroh lifts your head from off you and hangs you on a tree; and the flyers eat your flesh from you. ²⁰ And so be it, the third day, the birthday of Paroh, he works a banquet to all his servants: and he lifts the head of the governor of the butlers and the head of the governor of the bakers among his servants: ²¹ and he restores the governor of the butlers to his butlership again; and he gives the cup into the palm of Paroh: ²² and he hangs the governor of the bakers: as Yoseph interprets to them. ²³ Yet the governor of the butlers remembers not Yoseph, but forgets him.

DREAMS OF NEBUKADNETS TSAR
And in the second year of the sovereigndom of Nebukadnets Tsar, Nebukadnets Tsar dreams dreams which agitate his spirit; and his sleep breaks from him: ² and the sovereign says to call the horoscopists and the enchanters and the sorcerers and the Kesediym to tell the sovereign his dreams. And they come and stand at the face of the sovereign: ³ and the sovereign says to them, I dreamed a dream and my spirit agitates to know the dream. ⁴ And the Kesediym word to the sovereign in Aramaic, O sovereign, live eternally: say the dream to your servants and we show the interpretation. ⁵ The sovereign answers and says to the Kesediym, The utterance is gone from me: if you make not known to me the dream with the interpretation, they serve you in pieces, and set your houses a cesspool: ⁶ and if you show the dream and the interpretation, you take from in front of me gifts and largess and great esteem: so show me the dream and the interpretation. ⁷ They answer secondly and say, May the sovereign say the dream to his servants and we show the interpretation thereof. ⁸ The sovereign answers and says, I know for certain that you are gaining time, because you see the utterance is gone from me: ⁹ and if you not make known to me the dream - one decree for you: for you prepare false and ruinous utterances to say in front of me, until the change of time: so say to me the dream, so that I know you show me the interpretation. ¹⁰ The Kesediym answer in front of the sovereign, and say, There is not a man on the dry who can show the utterance of the sovereign: because no sovereign, great, or dominator, asks utterances as these of any horoscopist or enchanter or Kesediym: ¹¹ and it is an esteemed utterance the sovereign asks; and there is no one other who can show it in front of the sovereign - except the elahim who whirl not with flesh. ¹² So the sovereign rages - very enraged; and says to destroy all the magi of Babel: ¹³ and the decree emerges to sever the magi; and they request to sever Dani El and his companions. ¹⁴ Then Dani El responds with counsel and taste to Aryoch the great of the slaughterers of the sovereign - who emerges to sever the magi of Babel. ¹⁵ He answers Aryoch the dominator of the sovereign, and says, Why is the decree in front of the sovereign so severe? Then Aryoch makes the utterance known to Dani El: ¹⁶ and Dani El enters, and requests of the sovereign to give him an appointment, to show the sovereign the interpretation. ¹⁷ Then Dani El goes to his house, and makes the utterance known to Hanan Yah, Misha El, and Azar Yah his companions: ¹⁸ to request mercies in front of Elah of the heavens concerning this mystery; so that Dani El and his companions not destruct with the remainder of the magi of Babel. ¹⁹
DANI EL EXPOSES THE MYSTERY
Then in a night vision the mystery is exposed to Dani El; and Dani El blesses Elah of the heavens: ²⁰ Dani El answers and says, Blessed - the name of Elah from eternity to eternity: for wisdom and might are his: ²¹ and he changes the times and the seasons: he passes sovereigns by, and raises sovereigns: he gives wisdom to the magi, and perception to them who know discernment: ²² he exposes the profound and the hidden: he knows what is in the darkness, and releases the light. ²³ I thank you, and laud you, O you, Elah of my fathers, who gives me wisdom and might and now makes known to me what we request of you: that you make known to us the utterance of the sovereign. ²⁴ So Dani El enters to Aryoch, whom the sovereign numbered to destroy the magi of Babel: he goes and says thus to him: Destroy not the magi of Babel: enter me in front of the sovereign and I show the interpretation to the sovereign. ²⁵ Then Aryoch hastily enters Dani El in front of the sovereign, and says thus to him, I found a mighty one of the sons of the exiles of Yah Hudah to make known the interpretation to the sovereign. ²⁶ The sovereign answers and says to Dani El - whose name is Belte Shats Tsar, Are you able to make known to me the dream I saw? - and the interpretation? ²⁷ Dani El answers in front of the sovereign, and says, The mystery the sovereign asks the magi, the enchanters, the horoscopists, the discerners, cannot show to the sovereign; ²⁸ but there is an Elah in the heavens who exposes mysteries, and makes known to sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar what becomes in the final days. Your dream and the visions of your head on your bed are these: ²⁹ As for you, O sovereign, the intentions that ascended on your bed, What becomes after this? - and he who exposes mysteries makes known to you what becomes. ³⁰ As for me, this mystery is not exposed to me for wisdom that I have in me any more than for any one living, but for words to make the interpretation known to the sovereign, so that you know the intentions of your heart. ³¹
DANI EL RECALLS THE MYSTERY
You, O sovereign, saw, and behold, one great image - this great image whose excellent cheerfulness rises in front of you: and the appearance terrifies. ³² This head of the image, of fine gold; his breast and his arms, of silver; his inwards and his flanks, of copper; ³³ his legs, of iron; his feet, of iron and of clay: ³⁴ you see until a stone is cut - not by hands which strikes the image on his feet of iron and clay and pulverizes them: ³⁵ then the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver and the gold pulverize as one, and become as the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind bears them, and no place is found for them: and the stone that strikes the image becomes a great rock and fills the whole earth. ³⁶
DANI EL INTERPRETS THE MYSTERY
This is the dream and we say the interpretation in front of the sovereign: ³⁷ You, O sovereign, are a sovereign of sovereigns: for Elah of the heavens gives you a sovereigndom - power and empowerment and esteem: ³⁸ and everywhere the sons of men whirl; and he gives the live beings of the field and the flyers of the heavens into your hand, and has you dominate over them all: you are this head of gold. ³⁹ And in your stead rises another sovereigndom of earth and another, a third sovereigndom of copper who dominates over all the earth. ⁴⁰ And the fourth sovereigndom becomes mighty as iron: because as iron pulverizes and crushes all: and as iron shatters all these, it pulverizes and shatters. ⁴¹ And as to what you saw - the feet and digits, of clay of the potters, and of iron, the sovereigndom becomes divided; for the strength of the iron becomes therein just as you saw the iron comingled with miry clay. ⁴² And the digits of the feet, of iron and of clay, thus the sovereigndom - becomes mighty, and becomes partly broken. ⁴³ And as you saw iron comingled with miry clay, they become comingled with the seed of men: but they become not this with that - behold, as iron is not comingled with clay. ⁴⁴ And in the days of these sovereigns Elah of the heavens raises a sovereigndom, which despoils not eternally: and the sovereigndom is not left to other people, it pulverizes and consumes all these sovereigndoms and it is raised eternally. ⁴⁵ Because, as you saw, the stone cut from the rock, not by hands, and it pulverizes the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Elah makes known to the sovereign what becomes after this: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation trustworthy. ⁴⁶
NEBUKADNETS TSAR PROMOTES DANI EL
Then sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar falls on his face, and prostrates to Dani El, and says for them to libate an offering and savour of rest to him. ⁴⁷ The sovereign answers Dani El, and says, Of a truth, your Elah is an Elah of elahim, and a master of sovereigns, and an exposer of mysteries, that you can expose this mystery. ⁴⁸ Then the sovereign greatens Dani El and gives him many great gifts; and has him dominate over the whole jurisdiction of Babel and the great of the prefects - over all the magi of Babel. ⁴⁹ And Dani El requests of the sovereign, and he numbers Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego over the service of the jurisdiction of Babel: and Dani El in the portal of the sovereign.

THE DREAM OF NEBUKADNETS TSAR OF THE TREE
I Nebukadnets Tsar being serene in my house and verdant in my manse: ⁵ I see a dream which terrifies me; and the conceptions on my bed and the visions of my head terrify me: ⁶ and I set a decree to have all the magi of Babel enter in front of me, to make known to me the interpretation of the dream: ⁷ then the horoscopists, the enchanters, the Kesediym and the discerners enter: and I say the dream in front of them; and they make not known to me the interpretation: ⁸ until finally Dani El comes in front of me - whose name is Belte Shats Tsar according to the name of my elah - and in whom is the spirit of the holy elahim: and I say the dream in front of him, ⁹ O Belte Shats Tsar, great of the horoscopists, because I know the spirit of the holy elahim is in you, and no mystery distresses you, say to me the visions of the dream I saw, and the interpretation. ¹⁰ Thus are the visions of my head in my bed; I see, and behold, a tree midst the earth, and the height is great: ¹¹ the tree greatens and empowers; and the height spreads to the heavens, and the sight to the consummation of all the earth: ¹² the foliage is beautiful and the fruit much, and food therein for all: the live beings of the field shade under it and the birds of the heavens whirl in its branches and all flesh nourishes thereof. ¹³ I see, in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a waker and a holy one descend from the heavens; ¹⁴ he calls out with valour, and says thus: Cut the tree and chop his branches; shake its foliage and scatter its fruit: so that the live beings flee from under it and the birds from his branches: ¹⁵ but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and copper in the sprouts of the field - dyed with the dew of the heavens; and his portion with the live beings in the herbage of the earth: ¹⁶ change his heart from that of a man and give him a heart of a live being; and seven times pass over him. ¹⁷ This decision is by the decree of the wakers; and the mandate by the edict of the holy ones: to the word so that the living know Elyon is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills; and raises the lowliest of men over it. ¹⁸ This dream, I sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar saw: and you, O Belte Shats Tsar, say the interpretation; because all the magi of my sovereigndom are not able to have me know the interpretation: and you can; for the spirit of the holy elahim is in you. ¹⁹
DANI EL INTERPRETS THE DREAM OF THE TREE
Then Dani El, whose name is Belte Shats Tsar, is astonished for one blink and his intentions terrify him. The sovereign answers and says, Belte Shats Tsar, terrify not at the dream or the interpretation. Belte Shats Tsar answers and says, My master, the dream is to them who hate you; and the interpretation to your enemies. ²⁰ The tree you saw, which greatens, and empowers, whose height spreads to the heavens, and the sight to all the earth; ²¹ whose foliage is beautiful, and the fruit much, with food therein for all; under which the live beings of the field whirl, and on whose branches the birds of the heavens tabernacle: ²² it is you, O sovereign, who greatens and empowers: for your greatness greatens and spreads to the heavens, and your dominion to the consummation of the earth. ²³ And whereas the sovereign saw a waker and an holy one descend from the heavens, and saying, Cut the tree, and despoil it; but leave the stump of the roots in the earth even with a band of iron and copper in the sprouts of the field; and dyed with the dew of the heavens, and his portion with the live beings of the field, until seven times pass over him. ²⁴ This is the interpretation, O sovereign, and this is the decree of the Elyon which happens to my master the sovereign: ²⁵ and they expel you from men and you whirl with the live beings of the field; and they have you feed on herbage as bulls and they dye you with the dew of the heavens and seven times pass over you, until you know that Elyon dominates in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills. ²⁶ And whereas they say to leave the stump of the tree roots; your sovereigndom is permanent to you; after you know that the heavens dominate. ²⁷ Therefore, O sovereign, my ruling is glorious to you; and break off your sins by justness, and your perverseness by granting charism to the humble; ²⁸
INTERPRETATION OF DANI EL FULFILLED
And all this happens on sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar. ²⁹ At the end of twelve months he walks in the manse of the sovereigndom of Babel: ³⁰ the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty? ³¹ While the utterance is still in the mouth of the sovereign, a voice falls from the heavens, O sovereign Nebukadnets Tsar, to you they are saying; the sovereigndom passes from you; ³² and they expel you from men; and you whirl with the live beings of the field; and feed on herbage as bulls: and seven times pass over you; until you know that the Elyon is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills. ³³ The same blink the utterance consummates on Nebukadnets Tsar: and he is expelled from men and feeds on herbage as bulls; and his body is dyed with the dew of the heavens, until his hairs greaten as eagles and his nails as birds. ³⁴ And at the end of the days, I, Nebukadnets Tsar, lift my eyes to the heavens, and perception returns to me, and I bless Elyon, and I laud and esteem him who lives eternally - whose dominion is an eternal dominion and his sovereigndom from generation to generation: ³⁵ and all who whirl on the earth are machinated as nought: and he does as he wills among the valiant of the heavens and they who whirl on the earth: and no one can strike his hand, or say to him, What serve you? ³⁶ At the same appointment my perception returns to me; and for the esteem of my sovereigndom, my majesty and cheerfulness return to me; and my counsellors and my nobles request to me; and I am restored in my sovereigndom and excellent greatness is added to me. ³⁷ Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.

THE DREAM OF DANI EL, OF FOUR LIVE BEINGS
In the first year of Bel Shats Tsar sovereign of Babel Dani El sees a dream and visions of his head on his bed: then he inscribes the dream and says the sum of the utterances:
