This is the interpretation of the vision may be rendered “Now I will explain your dream to you.”

As for your seeing a man come up from the heart of the sea: See 2Esdras 13.3.

An alternative model for this verse is:

• “Now for the meaning of the dream [or, vision]. You saw a man coming up from the depths of the sea.
