Commentary

Commentary on Daniel 8:21

Theological / Devotional

Rough. Heb. sa‘ir, “hairy,” or “shaggy.” Sa‘ir is also used independently to describe a he-goat (Gen. 37:31; Lev. 4:23; etc.). On the interpretation see on Dan. 8:5.

Great horn. A symbol of Alexander the Great, the “first king” of the Greco-Macedonian world empire that was destined to replace the Persian Empire (see on vs. 5–8; ch. 7:6).
