Daniel 6:16

6:16 So the king gave the order, ¹  and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den ²  of lions. The king consoled ³  Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

Daniel 6:27

6:27 He rescues and delivers

and performs signs and wonders

in the heavens and on the earth.

He has rescued Daniel from the power ⁴  of the lions!”

² sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

³ tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”

⁴ tn Aram “hand.”
