Antah (אַנְתָּה) is the Aramaic second-person singular pronoun meaning "thou" or "you." It is the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew attah (אַתָּה). It appears numerous times in the Aramaic sections of Daniel, particularly in the divine speech to Nebuchadnezzar and in Daniel's interpretations to the king.
The direct address of God to human rulers — "thou art this head of gold" (Daniel 2:38) — demonstrates God's personal engagement with all human history. Even pagan kings stand in direct relationship to the God who "removes kings and sets up kings" (Daniel 2:21). The pronoun antah underscores that sovereign power is not abstract; God addresses persons directly, calling them to account and to understanding.
