7:9“While I was watching,
thrones were set up,
and the Ancient of Days24 took his seat.
His attire was white like snow;
the hair of his head was like lamb’s25 wool.
His throne was ablaze with fire
and its wheels were all aflame.26
Footnotes
- 24 Or “the Ancient One” (, , ), although the traditional expression has been retained in the present translation because it is familiar to many readers. Cf. “One who had been living for ever”; “the Eternal God.”
- 25 Traditionally the Aramaic word נְקֵא (néqe’) has been rendered “pure,” but here it more likely means “of a lamb.” Cf. the neqya’ (“a sheep, ewe”). On this word see further, M. Sokoloff, “’amar neqe’, ‘Lamb’s Wool’ (Dan 7:9),” 95 (1976): 277–79.
- 26 Aram “a flaming fire.”
