Daniel 3:27

3:27 Once the satraps, prefects, governors, and ministers of the king had gathered around, they saw that those men were physically ¹  unharmed by the fire. ²  The hair of their heads was not singed, nor were their trousers damaged. Not even the smell of fire was to be found on them!

Daniel 4:33

4:33 Now in that very moment ³  this pronouncement about ⁴  Nebuchadnezzar came true. ⁵  He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws. ⁶ 

Daniel 7:11

7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching ⁷  until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into ⁸  the flaming fire.

Daniel 3:28

3:28 Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed, ⁹  “Praised be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent forth his angel ¹⁰  and has rescued his servants who trusted in him, ignoring ¹¹  the edict of the king and giving up their bodies rather than ¹²  serve or pay homage to any god other than their God!

Daniel 5:21

5:21 He was driven from human society, his mind ¹³  was changed to that of an animal, he lived ¹⁴  with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.

¹ tn Aram “in their bodies.”

² tn Aram “the fire did not have power.”

³ tn Aram “hour.”

⁴ tn Or “on.”

⁵ tn Aram “was fulfilled.”

⁶ tn The words “feathers” and “claws” are not present in the Aramaic text, but have been added in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.

⁶ tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).

⁷ tn Aram “answered and said.”

⁸ sn The king identifies the “son of the gods” (v. 25) as an angel. Comparable Hebrew expressions are used elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible for the members of God’s angelic assembly (see Gen 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Pss 29:1; 89:6). An angel later comes to rescue Daniel from the lions (Dan 6:22).

⁹ tn Aram “they changed” or “violated.”

¹⁰ tn Aram “so that they might not.”

⁹ tn Aram “heart.”

¹⁰ tn Aram “his dwelling.”
