The story about Nebuchadnezzar ap-
pears in the Book of Daniel The king
dreamed a strange dream, and he called
upon the prophet, Daniel. to explain its
meaning. The prophet said the dream
meant this:
They shall drive thee from men, and
thy dwelling shall be with the beasts Of
the field; they shall make thee to eat
grass like oxen. and seven times shall
pass over thee, until thou know that the

The same hour was the thing fulfilled
upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven
from men, and did eat grass as the oxen,
and his body was wet with the dew of
heaven, till his hairs were grown like
eagles feathers and his nails like birds
claws.

Bible goes on to say that at the end of
that period Nebuchadnezzar returned to
his home strengthened in mind and body
and free from tyrannical and cruel

character.

could not survive for any reasonable
