‏ Daniel 4:25

25 You will be driven ^{▼▼tn The Aramaic indefinite active plural is used here like the English passive, as also in vv. 28, 29, and 32.} from human society, ^{▼▼tn Aram “from mankind,” as also in v. 32.} and you will live ^{▼▼tn Aram “your dwelling will be,” as also in v. 32.} with the wild animals. You will be fed ^{▼▼tn Or perhaps: “be made to eat.”} grass like oxen, ^{▼▼sn Nebuchadnezzar’s insanity has features that are associated with the mental disorder boanthropy, in which the person so afflicted imagines himself to be an ox or a similar animal and behaves accordingly.} and you will become damp with the dew of the sky. Seven periods of time will pass by for you before ^{▼▼tn Aram “until.”} you understand that the Most High is ruler over human kingdoms and gives them to whomever he wishes.
