Daniel 7:20

I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.

Study note

Setting — Daniel speaks to himself while processing the vision of the fourth beast, pausing to seek clarification on the ten horns on its head and the horn that rose before them.

The words — קַרְנַיָּ֤/א (kar.nai.Ya/), "the horns," and סִלְקַ֔ת (sil.Kat), "it came up," anchor the description of the ten horns on the beast's head and the subsequent rise of another horn.

The thread — The vision of the rising horn and fallen horns appears in Daniel 7:8, while the horn's arrogant speech and warfare against the saints are detailed in Daniel 7:11 and Daniel 7:21.

Why it lands — The text demands observation of the horn's imposing appearance and arrogant speech, requiring the reader to note how divine judgment addresses human pride without speculating beyond the described imagery.
