Daniel 5:23
5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods
13 that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control
14 your very breath and all your ways!
1 tn Aram “there has been found in you.”
2 sn The word zither (Aramaic קִיתָרוֹס [qitaros]), and the words for harp (Aramaic פְּסַנְתֵּרִין [pÿsanterin]) and pipes (Aramaic סוּמְפֹּנְיָה [sumponÿyah]), are of Greek derivation. Though much has been made of this in terms of suggesting a date in the Hellenistic period for the writing of the book, it is not surprising that a few Greek cultural terms, all of them the names of musical instruments, should appear in this book. As a number of scholars have pointed out, the bigger surprise (if, in fact, the book is to be dated to the Hellenistic period) may be that there are so few Greek loanwords in Daniel.
3 tn The imperfect Aramaic verbs have here an injunctive nuance.
3 tn Aram “all the peoples.”
4 tc Though not in the Aramaic text of BHS, this word appears in many medieval Hebrew MSS, some LXX MSS, and Vulgate. Cf. vv. 5, 10, 15.
4 tn The Aramaic text has also the words “about you.”
5 tn Or perhaps “one of three rulers,” in the sense of becoming part of a triumvir. So also v. 29.
5 tn Aram “the word.”
6 tn Aram “placed his mind on.”
7 tn Aram “the entrances of the sun.”
6 tn If the “holy ones” are angels, then this probably refers to the angels as protectors of God’s people. If the “holy ones” are God’s people, then this is an appositional construction, “the people who are the holy ones.” See 8:24 for the corresponding Hebrew phrase and the note there.
7 tn Aram “hand.” So also in v. 17.
8 tn Aram “which.”
9 tn Aram “in whose hand [are].”
