Nebuchadnezzar Has a Disturbing Dream
2:1In the second year of his1 reign Nebuchadnezzar had many dreams.2 His mind3 was disturbed and he suffered from insomnia.4
Footnotes
- 1 Heb “Nebuchadnezzar’s.” The possessive pronoun is substituted in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 2 Heb “dreamed dreams.” The plural is used here and in v. 2, but the singular in v. 3. The plural “dreams” has been variously explained. Some interpreters take the plural as denoting an indefinite singular (so §124.o). But it may be that it is describing a stream of related dreams, or a dream state. In the latter case, one might translate: “Nebuchadnezzar was in a trance.” See further, J. A. Montgomery, Daniel (), .
- 3 Heb “his spirit.”
- 4 Heb “his sleep left (?) him.” The use of the verb הָיָה (hayah, “to be”) here is unusual. The context suggests a meaning such as “to be finished” or “gone.” Cf. Dan 8:27. Some scholars emend the verb to read נָדְדָה (nadédah, “fled”); cf. Dan 6:19. See further, 2:540 היה I Ni.3; היה nif; 227–28 הָיָה Niph.2.
