Daniel 1:19-20

Context
1:19 When the king spoke with them, he did not find among the entire group 1  anyone like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, or Azariah. So they entered the king’s service. 2  1:20 In every matter of wisdom and 3  insight the king asked them about, he found them to be ten times 4  better than any of the magicians and astrologers that were in his entire empire.

Daniel 6:12

Context
6:12 So they approached the king and said to him, 5  “Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?” The king replied, “That is correct, 6  according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.”

[1:19]  1 tn Heb “from all of them.”

[1:19]  2 tn Heb “stood before the king.”

[1:20]  3 tc The MT lacks the conjunction, reading the first word in the phrase as a construct (“wisdom of insight”). While this reading is not impossible, it seems better to follow Theodotion, the Syriac, the Vulgate, and the Sahidic Coptic, all of which have the conjunction.

[1:20]  4 tn Heb “hands.”

[6:12]  5 tc The MT also has “about the edict of the king,” but this phrase is absent in the LXX and the Syriac. The present translation deletes the expression.

[6:12]  6 tn Aram “the word is true.”
