Theodoret of Cyrus, on Dan 4:6
Theodoret of Cyrus · c. A.D. 393–457
Dan 4:6 · Douay-Rheims
“Baltassar, prince of the diviners, because I know that thou hast in thee the spirit of the holy gods, and that no secret is impossible to thee: tell me the visions of my dreams that I have seen, and the interpretation of them.”
On this verse:
“He did not give these details casually: it was in parallel so as to make clear to everyone the prophet's wisdom by comparison—hence his listing the nationalities of the wise men of Babylon so as to highlight the fact that whereas they understood absolutely nothing, he was illuminated by the divine Spirit.”
