 Without getting into interpretation of this text, it should be compared
 with Daniel 7:9-14, where the Ancient of Days and the One like the Son 
 of Man sit in judgment. The One like the Son of Man was given dominion,
 and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should
 serve him, etc.

 So PANTA TA EQNH includes Jews and Gentiles. Daniel 7:14 LXX does not
 have EQNH, but LAOI: rendering the Aramaic `uMMaYYa' (peoples, tribes,
 nations).
