Daniel 10:2

10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. ¹ 

Daniel 11:14

11:14 “In those times many will oppose ²  the king of the south. ³  Those who are violent ⁴  among your own people will rise up in confirmation of ⁵  the vision, but they will falter.

[10:2]  ¹ tn Heb “three weeks of days.” The inclusion of “days” here and in v. 3 is perhaps intended to call attention to the fact that these weeks are very different in nature from those of chap. 9, which are “weeks of years.”

[11:14]  ² tn Heb “stand against.”

[11:14]  ³ sn This was Ptolemy V Epiphanes (ca. 203-181 B.C.).

[11:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “sons of violence.” “Son(s) is sometimes used idiomatically in Hebrew to indicate that someone is characterized by a certain quality. So the expression “sons of violence” means that these individuals will be characterized by violent deeds.

[11:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “to cause to stand.”
