Daniel 7:9 Douay-Rheims

I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat: his garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool: his throne like flames of fire: the wheels of it like a burning fire.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

And again, "The Ancient of Days sat," here again, taking the term "ancient" as among those laudatory expressions that confer highest glory. Elsewhere the Scripture takes the term "old" in the sense of blame; for seeing that the things are of various aspects as being composed of many parts, it uses the same words both in a good and an evil import, not according to the same shade of meaning.
