# took his seat ... His clothing ... the hair of his head
|
|
|
|
This passage describes God as sitting down, with clothing and hair like a person. This does not mean that God really is like this, but it is how Daniel saw God in a vision.

# took his seat
|
|
|
|
"sat down on his throne"

|
# His clothing was as white as snow
|
|
|
|
"His clothing was very white"
|
|
|
|
# the hair of his head was like pure wool

Possible meanings are that 1) it was very white or 2) it was thick and curly.

# its wheels
|
|
|
|
It is unclear why God's throne is described as having wheels. Thrones normally do not have wheels, but the text clearly states that this throne has some kind of wheels. Use a general term for "wheels" if possible.
