7:27 Then the kingdom, authority,
and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven
will be delivered to the people of the holy ones 2 of the Most High.
His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;
all authorities will serve him and obey him.’
1 sn The expression holy ones is either a reference to angels or to human beings devoted to God.
2 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.
