Daniel 9:13

¹ tn Heb “in the midst of” (so ASV).

² tn Heb “commanding.”

³ tn Heb “an.” By implication this is one’s own animal.

⁴ tn Or “transgressed.” The Hebrew verb has the primary sense of crossing a boundary, in this case, God’s law.

⁵ tn Heb “by not paying attention to your voice.”

⁶ tn Heb “the curse and the oath which is written.” The term “curse” refers here to the judgments threatened in the Mosaic law (see Deut 28) for rebellion. The expression “the curse and the oath” is probably a hendiadys (cf. Num 5:21; Neh 10:29) referring to the fact that the covenant with its threatened judgments was ratified by solemn oath and made legally binding upon the covenant community.

⁷ tn Heb “him.”

⁸ tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”

⁹ tn Or “by gaining insight.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.

¹¹ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

¹² tn Heb “which I commanded him in Horeb concerning all Israel, statutes and ordinances.”
