Daniel 11:43 | |
43. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. | 43. Et dominabitur thesauris auri, et argenti, et omnibus desiderabilibus 1 AEgypti, et Lybiae, et Aethiopiae ingressibus suis. |
