Daniel 11:1

11:1 And in the first year of Darius the Mede, I ¹  stood to strengthen him and to provide protection for him.)

Daniel 12:8

12:8 I heard, but I did not understand. So I said, “Sir, ²  what will happen after these things?”

[11:1]  ¹ sn The antecedent of the pronoun “I” is the angel, not Daniel. The traditional chapter division at this point, and the presence of a chronological note in the verse similar to ones used elsewhere in the book to position Daniel’s activities in relation to imperial affairs, sometimes lead to confusion on this matter.

[12:8]  ² tn Heb “my lord,” a title of polite address.
