Daniel 11:23

11:23 After ¹  entering into an alliance with him, he will behave treacherously; he will ascend to power with only a small force. ² 

Daniel 12:1

12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ³ 

will arise. ⁴ 

There will be a time of distress

unlike any other from the nation’s beginning ⁵ 

up to that time.

But at that time your own people,

all those whose names are ⁶  found written in the book,

will escape.

¹ tn The preposition מִן (min) is probably temporal here (so BDB 583 s.v. 7.c; cf. KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV), although it could also be understood here as indicating means (so J. Goldingay, Daniel [WBC], 279, n. 23a; cf. TEV, NLT).

² tn Heb “nation.”

³ tn Heb “stands over the sons of your people.”

⁴ tn Heb “will stand up.”

⁵ tn Or “from the beginning of a nation.”

⁶ tn The words “whose names are” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.
