Daniel 4:25

4:25 You will be driven¹ from human society,² and you will live³ with the wild animals. You will be fed⁴ grass like oxen,⁵ and you will become damp with the dew of the sky.

Daniel 4:32

Daniel 12:7

12:7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky⁸ and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters⁹ the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”

12:11 From the time that the daily sacrifice is removed and the abomination that causes desolation is set in place,¹⁰ there are 1,290 days. 12:12 Blessed is the one who waits and attains to the 1,335 days.

Revelation 11:2-3

11:2 But¹¹ do not measure the outer courtyard¹² of the temple; leave it out,¹³ because it has been given to the Gentiles,¹⁴ and they will trample on the holy city¹⁵ for forty-two months. 11:3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority¹⁶ to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.

Revelation 12:6

12:6 and she¹⁷ fled into the wilderness¹⁸ where a place had been prepared for her¹⁹ by God, so she could be taken care of²⁰ for 1,260 days.

Revelation 12:14

¹tn The Aramaic indefinite active plural is used here like the English passive. So also in v. 28, 29,32.

²tn Aram “from mankind.” So also in v. 32.

³tn Aram “your dwelling will be.” So also in v. 32.

⁴tn Or perhaps “be made to eat.”

⁵sn Nebuchadnezzar’s insanity has features that are associated with the mental disorder known as boanthropy, in which the person so afflicted imagines himself to be an ox or a similar animal and behaves accordingly.

⁶tn Aram “until.”

⁷tn Aram “until.”

⁸tn Or “to the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

⁹tc The present translation reads יַד־נֹפֵץ (yad-nofets, “hand of one who shatters”) rather than the MT נַפֵּץ־יַד (nappets-yad, “to shatter the hand”).

¹⁰tn Heb “to give.”

¹¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

¹²tn On the term αὐλήν (aulhn) BDAG 150 s.v. αὐλή 1 states, “(outer) court of the temple…Rv 11:2.”

¹³tn The precise meaning of the phrase ἔκβαλε ἔξωθεν (ekbale exwqen) is difficult to determine.

¹⁴tn Or “to the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

¹⁵sn The holy city appears to be a reference to Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:24.

¹⁶tn The word “authority” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. “Power” would be another alternative that could be supplied here.

¹⁷tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

¹⁸tn Or “desert.”

¹⁹tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

²⁰tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

²¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

²²tn Or “desert.”

²³tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

²⁴tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.

²⁵tn Grk “and there was given to him.” Here the passive construction has been simplified, the referent (the beast) has been specified for clarity, and καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

²⁶tn For the translation “proud words” (Grk “great things” or “important things”) see BDAG 624 s.v. μέγας 4.b.

²⁷tn Grk “to it was granted.”

²⁸tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

²⁹tn Grk “and it was given to him to go to war.” Here the passive construction has been simplified, the referent (the beast) has been specified for clarity, and καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

³⁰tc Many mss omit the phrase “it was given to make war with the saints and to overcome them” (Ì⁴⁷ A C 2053 Ï^A sa). It is, however, found in Ì^115vid א 051 1006 (1611) 1841 (1854) 2329 2344 2351 (Ï^K) lat sy^ph,(h) bo. Although the ms evidence is somewhat in favor of the shorter reading, the support of Ì¹¹⁵ (a recently-discovered ms) for the longer reading balances things out. Normally, the shorter reading should be given preference. However, in an instance in which homoioteleuton could play a role, caution must be exercised. In this passage, accidental omission is quite likely. That this could have happened seems apparent from the two occurrences of the identical phrase “and it was given to him” (καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ, kai edoqh autw) in v. 7. The scribe’s eye skipped over the first καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ and went to the second, hence creating an accidental omission of eleven words.

³¹tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.

³²tn Grk “and people,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here or before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
