Daniel 11:38-39

11:38 What he will honor is a god of fortresses – a god his fathers did not acknowledge he will honor with gold, silver, valuable stones, and treasured commodities. 11:39 He will attack ⁷  mighty fortresses, aided by ⁸  a foreign deity. To those who recognize him he will grant considerable honor. He will place them in authority over many people, and he will parcel out land for a price. ⁹ 

¹ sn The reference is to the king of Egypt.

² tn Heb “the stock of her roots.”

³ tn Heb “will deal with them and prevail.”

⁴ sn The sons of Seleucus II Callinicus were Seleucus III Ceraunus (ca. 227-223 B.C.) and Antiochus III the Great (ca. 223-187 B.C.).

⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the enemy of the king of the north) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Heb “and he will certainly come and overflow and cross over and return and be aroused unto a fortress.” The translation has attempted to simplify the syntax of this difficult sequence.

⁷ tn Heb “act against.”

⁸ tn Heb “with.”

⁹ tn Or perhaps “for a reward.”
