[1:13]  1 tn Heb “let our appearance be seen before you.”

[1:13]  2 tn Heb “the appearance of.”

[1:13]  3 tn Heb “delicacies of the king.” So also in v. 15.

[1:13]  4 tn Heb “your servants.”

[8:1]  5 sn Dan 8:1 marks the switch from Aramaic (= 2:4b-7:28) back to Hebrew as the language in which the book is written in its present form. The remainder of the book from this point on (8:1-12:13) is in Hebrew. The bilingual nature of the book has been variously explained, but it most likely has to do with the book’s transmission history.

[8:1]  6 sn The third year of King Belshazzar’s reign would have been ca. 551 B.C. Daniel would have been approximately 69 years old at the time of this vision.

[8:1]  7 tn Heb “in the beginning.” This refers to the vision described in chapter seven.
