Ulai (place name), a river in Elam near Susa
A river in the province of Elam where Daniel saw visions (Daniel 8:2, 16). The Ulai (Greek: Eulaeus, Assyrian: Ulâi) is identified with the Karūn River in modern Iran, flowing past the ancient city of Susa. In his vision, Daniel found himself beside the Ulai canal when he saw the ram and goat representing Persia and Greece. The river's mention grounds the apocalyptic vision in concrete geography—Daniel stands at the administrative heart of the Persian Empire, receiving revelation about kingdoms yet to come.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The Ulai appears twice in Daniel 8, establishing the geographic setting for the ram-and-goat vision. Ancient sources confirm this as a major waterway near Susa (the Persian administrative capital). The Greek Septuagint calls it 'Eulaios,' matching Greco-Roman references to the river. Some scholarship suggests the upper Ulai corresponded to the modern Kerkha River (ancient Choaspes), later merging with the Karūn. Daniel's presence at this imperial center—far from Jerusalem—symbolizes exile's reality even as God reveals future redemption. 2×
