Chapter 35

¹ “In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep departed from him. And the king commanded to call the enchanters and the magicians and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams; and they came and stood before the king. And the king said to them, ‘I have dreamed, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.’ And the Chaldeans spoke to the king in Aramaic: ‘O king, live forever; tell the dream to your servants, and we will declare the interpretation.’ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, ‘The word has departed from me; if therefore you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall be destroyed, and your houses shall be plundered; but if you make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you shall receive gifts and presents and great honor from me. Only declare to me the dream and its interpretation.’”
