Daniel 8:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version
Daniel’s Vision of the Ram and the Goat
8 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar,[a] a vision appeared to me—I, Daniel—after the one that appeared to me previously.
2 I saw the vision, and as I watched, I was in the citadel[b] of Susa, which is in the province of Elam. I saw in the vision that I was beside the Ulai Canal. 3 I looked up and right there in front of me I saw a ram standing beside the canal. He had two horns. The two horns were large. One, however, was larger than the other, but the larger one had grown up later.
