1 In the third year of Cyrus (possess the furnace) king of Persia (pure / splendid), a message was revealed to Daniel (God is my judge), who was called Belteshazzar (lord of the straitened's treasure). The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict (true and greatly burdensome). And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision. 2 In those days I, Daniel (God is my judge), was mourning for three full weeks. 3 I ate no rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I did not anoint myself with oil until the three weeks were completed. 4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris (rapid), 5 I lifted up my eyes, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz (desire of fine gold) around his waist.
