Isaiah 65:15

65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. ¹ 

The sovereign Lord will kill you,

but he will give his servants another name.

Daniel 12:2

12:2 Many of those who sleep

in the dusty ground will awake –

some to everlasting life,

and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence. ² 

Daniel 12:1

12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ³ 

will arise. ⁴ 

There will be a time of distress

unlike any other from the nation’s beginning ⁵ 

up to that time.

But at that time your own people,

all those whose names are ⁶  found written in the book,

will escape.

Daniel 2:15-16

2:15 He inquired of Arioch the king’s deputy, “Why is the decree from the king so urgent?” ⁷  Then Arioch informed Daniel about the matter. 2:16 So Daniel went in and ⁸  requested the king to grant him time, that he might disclose the interpretation to the king.

¹ tn Heb “you will leave your name for an oath to my chosen ones.”

² sn This verse is the only undisputed reference to a literal resurrection found in the Hebrew Bible.

³ tn Heb “stands over the sons of your people.”

⁴ tn Heb “will stand up.”

⁵ tn Or “from the beginning of a nation.”

⁶ tn The words “whose names are” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.

⁷ tn The Aramaic word מְהַחְצְפָה (mÿhakhtsÿfah) may refer to the severity of the king’s decree (i.e., “harsh”; so HALOT 1879 s.v. חצף; BDB 1093 s.v. חֲצַף), although it would seem that in a delicate situation such as this Daniel would avoid this kind of criticism of the king’s actions. The translation above understands the word to refer to the immediacy, not harshness, of the decree. See further, F. Rosenthal, Grammar, 50, §116; E. Vogt, Lexicon linguae aramaicae, 67.

⁸ tc Theodotion and the Syriac lack the words “went in and.”
