Daniel 4:33 - That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws. God didn't literally turn Nebuchadnezzar into an animal; He stripped away the higher faculties that separates man from animals. Daniel 5:21 - Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

What strange disease did King Nebuchadnezzar temporarily have?

In Daniel 4:33, King Nebuchadnezzar certainly does seem to have been temporarily struck with a strange disease: "The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws."In understanding this, we should recognise that scholars (for example, Leonard J Greenspoon, author of Between Alexandria and Antioch: Jews and Judaism in the Hellenistic Period, The Oxford History of the Biblical World, p322) say that the Book of Daniel was a second-century-BCE Jewish novel. The author was not writing history and was aware that these things never happened and that the hero of the story never lived, and his intended audience had the same knowledge, even if the book eventually came to be accepted as historical. The popularity of the book came in part from the way it mocked and ridiculed the enemies of the Jews and in part from its demonstration of the power of the Jewish God. King Nebuchadnezzar never ate grass like an ox and never grew his hair like eagle's feathers, so he was struck down with no strange disease to cause this.


Did eve have the breath of life?

Yes. When God made her from Adam's rib, He gave her the breath of life. If Eve wasn't alive, God wouldn't have warned that she would die if she ate from the 'Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Bad', and she wouldn't have been able to give birth to children if wasn't breathing.
