17. God gave them knowledge — ( Exodus 31:2 ; Exodus 31:3 ; 1 Kings 3:12 ; Job 32:8 ; James 1:5 ; James 1:17 ). Daniel had understanding in . . . dreams —God thus made one of the despised covenant-people eclipse the Chaldean sages in the very science on which they most prided themselves. So Joseph in the court of Pharaoh ( Genesis 40:5 ; Genesis 41:1-8 ). Daniel, in these praises of his own "understanding," speaks not through vanity, but by the direction of God, as one transported out of himself. See my Genesis 41:1-1.41.8- : "CONTENTS OF THE BOOK." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-18" class="com-number"
