NET Notes: Dan 2:43

¹ tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew MSS, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.

² sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

³ tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

⁴ tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh diy) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (he’-khÿdi). It is a case of wrong word division.
