Good News Translation

God Shows Daniel What the Dream Means

¹⁴ Then Daniel went to Arioch, commander of the king's bodyguard, who had been ordered to carry out the execution. Choosing his words carefully, ¹⁵ he asked Arioch why the king had issued such a harsh order. So Arioch told Daniel what had happened.

¹⁶ Daniel went at once and obtained royal permission for more time, so that he could tell the king what the dream meant.
