Daniel 8:5-7 GNB ...While I was wondering what this meant, a goat came rushing out of the west, moving so fast that his feet didn't touch the ground. [Note: Alexander the Great was a "great" warfare tactician. He is famous, among other things, for ultra-conditioning his soldiers so they could move quickly, being upon an enemy before they could imagine.] He had one prominent horn between his eyes. (6) He came toward the ram, which I had seen standing beside the river, and rushed at him with all his force. (7) I watched him attack the ram. He was so angry that he smashed into him and broke the two horns. The ram had no strength to resist. He was thrown to the ground and trampled on, and there was no one who could save him. [The goat and ram identified: (Dan 8:20-21)]
Daniel 8:5-7 ESV ...As I was considering, behold, a male goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. (6) He came to the ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, and he ran at him in his powerful wrath. (7) I saw him come close to the ram, and he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. And the ram had no power to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. [The goat and ram identified: (Dan 8:20-21)]
Daniel 8:5-7 GW ...As I was watching closely, I saw a male goat coming from the west. It crossed the whole earth without touching it. This goat had a prominent horn between its eyes. (6) The goat was coming toward the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the gate. It furiously ran at the ram. (7) I saw it come closer to the ram. The goat was extremely angry with the ram, so it attacked the ram. It broke both of the ram's horns. The ram didn't have the strength to stand up against the goat. So the ram was thrown down on the ground and trampled. No one could rescue the ram from the goat's power. [The goat and ram identified: (Dan 8:20-21)]
Daniel 8:5-7 CEV ...I kept on watching and saw a goat come from the west and charge across the entire earth, without even touching the ground. Between his eyes was a powerful horn, (6) and with tremendous anger the goat started toward the ram that I had seen beside the river. (7) The goat was so fierce that its attack broke both horns of the ram, leaving him powerless. Then the goat stomped on the ram, and no one could do anything to help. [The goat and ram identified: (Dan 8:20-21)]

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
