Daniel 9:14

9:14 The LORD was mindful of the calamity, and he brought it on us. For the LORD our God is just ¹⁰  in all he has done, ¹¹  and we have not obeyed him. ¹²

[10:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word translated “yellow jasper” is תַּרשִׁישׁ (tarshish); it appears to be a semiprecious stone, but its exact identity is somewhat uncertain. It may be the yellow jasper, although this is conjectural. Cf. NAB, NIV “chrysolite”; NASB, NRSV “beryl.”

[10:6]  ² tn Heb “torches of fire.”

[10:6]  ³ tn Heb “The sound of his words” (cf. v. 9).

[10:9]  ⁴ tc Heb “I heard the sound of his words.” These words are absent in the LXX and the Syriac.

[10:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “as I listened to the sound of his words.”

[8:16]  ⁷ sn The only angels whose names are given in the OT are Gabriel (Dan 8:16; 9:21; cf. Luke 1:19, 26) and Michael (Dan 10:13, 21; 12:1; cf. Jude 9; Rev 12:7). The name Gabriel means in Hebrew “man of God,” and Michael means “who is like God?”

[9:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “paid attention to the voice of,” which is an idiomatic expression for obedience (cf. NASB “nor have we obeyed the voice of”).

[9:10]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to walk in.”

[9:10]  ¹² tc The LXX and Vulgate have the singular.

[9:14]  ¹³ tn Or “righteous.”

[9:14]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “in all his deeds which he has done.”

[9:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “we have not listened to his voice.”

[9:11]  ¹⁶ tn Or “transgressed.” The Hebrew verb has the primary sense of crossing a boundary, in this case, God’s law.

[9:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “by not paying attention to your voice.”

[9:11]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the curse and the oath which is written.” The term “curse” refers here to the judgments threatened in the Mosaic law (see Deut 28) for rebellion. The expression “the curse and the oath” is probably a hendiadys (cf. Num 5:21; Neh 10:29) referring to the fact that the covenant with its threatened judgments was ratified by solemn oath and made legally binding upon the covenant community.

[9:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “him.”
