Daniel 12:1

12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ⁴ 

will arise. ⁵ 

There will be a time of distress

unlike any other from the nation’s beginning ⁶ 

up to that time.

But at that time your own people,

all those whose names are ⁷  found written in the book,

will escape.

¹ tn Heb “Behold.”

² tc So most Hebrew MSS; one Hebrew MS along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and LXX read “something that looked like a man’s hand.”

³ tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.

⁴ tn Heb “stands over the sons of your people.”

⁵ tn Heb “will stand up.”

⁶ tn Or “from the beginning of a nation.”

⁷ tn The words “whose names are” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.
