Ancient Of Days [1]
( עתּיק יומין , ‛attı̄ḳ yōmı̄n , = Aramaic): On עתּיק , ‛attı̄ḳ , see Ancient (4). The expression is used in reference to God in Dan ( Job 7:9 , Job 7:13 , 22) and is not intended to suggest the existence of God from eternity. It was the venerable appearance of old age that was uppermost in the writer's mind. "What Daniel sees is not the eternal God Himself, but an aged man, in whose dignified and impressive form God reveals Himself (compare Ezekiel 1:26 )" (Keil).
