1. “In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that had appeared to me earlier.
2. In the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Shushan , which is in the province of Elam. In the vision I saw that I was beside the Ulai Canal.
3. I lifted up my eyes and looked up, behold, a ram with two horns was standing in front of the canal. The two horns were long but one was longer than the other, but the longer one grew up last.
