Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands (note, Daniel 2:35). The connection of the "forasmuch," etc., is, "as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands," this is an indication that "the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter, and the dream is certain;" i:e., the fact of thy seeing the dreams as I have recalled it to thy recollection is a proof that "the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter," and that it is no airy phantom, but a real representation to thee from God of the future. A similar proof of the "certainty" of the event was given to Pharaoh by the doubling of his dream (Genesis 41:32).
