# General Information: In these verses, the angel explains to Daniel the symbolic meaning of the things he saw in his vision. The animals and horns actually represented human rulers or kingdoms. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage]]) # As for the horn that was broken ... four others arose "Where the large horn was broken off, four others arose" # four kingdoms will arise from his nation The four horns represent the four new kingdoms. This can be made explicit. Alternate translation: "they represent the four kingdoms into which the kingdom of the first king will be divided" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) # but not with his great power "but they will not have as much power as the king represented by the large horn"
