Daniel 4:23 meaning and explanation
And you, O king, saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying: ‘Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump with its roots in the ground, and a band of iron and bronze around it, in the tender grass of the field. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and graze with the beasts of the field till seven times pass him by.’
Daniel 4:23, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Daniel is speaking to King Nebuchadnezzar, repeating the dream the king described so he can interpret it. The tree represents the king himself, and the watcher, a holy one, is an angelic being who announces heaven's decree.
