Daniel 2:29

2:29 “As for you, O king, while you were in your bed your thoughts turned to future things. ⁶  The revealer of mysteries has made known to you what will take place.

¹ tn Heb “commandment.” The MT actually has the singular (הַמִּצְוָה, hammitsvah), suggesting perhaps that the following terms (חֻקִּים [khuqqim] and מִשְׁפָּטִים [mishpatim]) are in epexegetical apposition to “commandment.” That is, the phrase could be translated “the entire command, namely, the statutes and ordinances.” This would essentially make מִצְוָה (mitsvah) synonymous with תּוֹרָה (torah), the usual term for the whole collection of law.

² tn Heb “to possess it” (so KJV, ASV); NLT “as their inheritance.”

³ tn Heb “men, sons of Belial.” The Hebrew term בְּלִיַּעַל (bÿliyya’al) has the idea of worthlessness, without morals or scruples (HALOT 133-34 s.v.). Cf. NAB, NRSV “scoundrels”; TEV, CEV “worthless people”; NLT “worthless rabble.”

⁴ tc The LXX and Tg read “your” for the MT’s “their.”

⁵ tn The translation understands the relative clause as a statement by Moses, not as part of the quotation from the evildoers. See also v. 2.

⁶ tn Aram “your thoughts upon your bed went up to what will be after this.”
