“I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.”
I approached one of the attendants to ask him the true interpretation of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things. Daniel seeks interpretation of the vision from one of the heavenly attendants, seeking to understand the meaning of the beasts and the figure. The attendant's willingness to explain suggests that Daniel has access to heavenly knowledge; he is granted understanding of cosmic history and divine purposes. This parallels his earlier access to dream-interpretation; Daniel remains a conduit between divine and human knowledge.
