Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 8 of Daniel. Daniel receives a second vision while in Susa. A ram with two horns appears beside the river and moves forcefully in different directions. Later the angel explicitly identifies this symbol with the powers of Media and Persia. The vision continues the theme of successive kingdoms but now focuses attention on a specific historical stage and on the conflict between powers.

Und ich hob meine Augen auf und sah, und siehe, ein Widder stand vor dem Wasser, der hatte zwei hohe Hörner, doch eins höher denn das andere, und das höchste wuchs am letzten.
Y alcé mis ojos, y miré, y he aquí un carnero que estaba delante del río, el cual tenía dos cuernos: y aunque eran altos, el uno era más alto que el otro; y el más alto subió a la postre.
Alcé la vista y vi un carnero de pie frente al canal. Tenía dos cuernos altos, uno más alto que el otro, y el más alto había crecido después.
Je levai les yeux, je regardai, et voici, un bélier se tenait devant le fleuve, et il avait des cornes; ces cornes étaient hautes, mais l'une était plus haute que l'autre, et elle s'éleva la dernière.
Ed alzai gli occhi, e riguardai, ed ecco un montone stava in piè dirincontro al fiume, il quale avea due corna, e quelle due corna erano alte; me l’uno era più alto dell’altro, e il più alto saliva l’ultimo.
E levantei os meus olhos, e vi, e eis que um carneiro estava diante do rio, o qual tinha dois chifres; e os dois chifres eram altos, mas um era mais alto do que o outro; e o mais alto subiu por último.
我舉目觀看,看哪,有一隻公綿羊站在河邊,牠有兩隻角,這兩角都高,一角高過另一角,後長出來的比較高。
