# Daniel 02 General Notes # #### Structure and formatting #### Some translations indent each line of poetry to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in Daniel's prayer in 2:20-23. #### Special concepts in this chapter #### ##### The king's dream ##### Daniel told the king's dream and what the dream meant. In the ancient Near East, it was believed that only people in touch with the gods could interpret dreams. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]]) ##### How Daniel knew the dream ##### Daniel gave Yahweh the honor for having told him the dream and its meaning in answer to the prayers of the four men. ## Links: ## * __[Daniel 02:01 Notes](./01.md)__ __[<<](../01/intro.md) | [>>](../03/intro.md)__
