1.2 KiB

General Information:

The man in Daniel's vision continues talking to Daniel. Most of the text of verses 23-27 is symbolic language. For this reason, the ULB presents them in poetic form. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage)

The kingdom and the dominion ... will be given to the people

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "God will give the kingdom and the dominion ... to the people" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

The kingdom and the dominion

These two terms mean basically the same thing and emphasize that this will concern all forms of official authority. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet)

the greatness of the kingdoms

The abstract noun "greatness" can be translated with the adjective "great." Alternate translation: "everything that is great about the kingdoms" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)

The idiom "under the whole heaven" refers to the kingdoms on earth. Alternate translation: "of all the kingdoms on earth" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
