Daniel 2:23

2:23 O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,

for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.

Now you have enabled me to understand what I ²  requested from you.

For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.” ³ 

Daniel 3:22

3:22 But since the king’s command was so urgent, and the furnace was so excessively hot, the men who escorted ⁴  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were killed ⁵  by the leaping flames. ⁶ 

¹ tn Aram “matter, thing.”

² tn Aram “we.” Various explanations have been offered for the plural, but it is probably best understood as the editorial plural; so also with “me” later in this verse.

³ tn Aram “caused to go up.”

⁴ tn The Aramaic verb is active.

⁵ tn Aram “the flame of the fire” (so KJV, ASV, NASB); NRSV “the raging flames.”
