Daniel 9:20-21

Gabriel Gives to Daniel a Prophecy of Seventy Weeks

9:20 While I was still speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and presenting my request before the LORD my God concerning his holy mountain ⁶  – 9:21 yes, while I was still praying, ⁷  the man Gabriel, whom I had seen previously ⁸  in a vision, was approaching me in my state of extreme weariness, ⁹  around the time of the evening offering.

Daniel 11:27

11:27 These two kings, their minds ¹⁰  filled with evil intentions, will trade ¹¹  lies with one another at the same table. But it will not succeed, for there is still an end at the appointed time.

[1:19]  ¹ tn Heb “from all of them.”

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

[9:6]  ³ tn Heb “in your name.” Another option is to translate, “as your representatives.”

[9:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “our fathers” (also in vv. 8, 16). The Hebrew term translated “father” can refer to more distant relationships such as grandfathers or ancestors.

[9:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “people.”

[9:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “the holy mountain of my God.”

[9:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “speaking in prayer.”

[9:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the beginning.”

[9:21]  ⁹ tn The Hebrew expression בִּיעָף מֻעָף (mu’af bi’af) is very difficult. The issue is whether the verb derives from עוּף (’uf, “to fly”) or from יָעַף (ya’af, “to be weary”). Many ancient versions and modern commentators take the first of these possibilities and understand the reference to be to the swift flight of the angel Gabriel in his coming to Daniel. The words more likely refer to the extreme weariness, not of the angel, but of Daniel. Cf. 7:28; 8:27; 10:8-9, 16-17; also NASB.

[11:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 28.

[11:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “speak.”
