Daniel 11:19

11:19 He will then turn his attention to the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall, not to be found again.

Daniel 1:19-20

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 12:1

12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ⁵ 

will arise. ⁶ 

There will be a time of distress

unlike any other from the nation’s beginning ⁷ 

up to that time.

But at that time your own people,

all those whose names are ⁸  found written in the book,

will escape.

[1:19]  ¹ tn Heb “from all of them.”

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

[1:20]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Heb “hands.”

[12:1]  ¹ tn Heb “stands over the sons of your people.”

[12:1]  ² tn Heb “will stand up.”

[12:1]  ³ tn Or “from the beginning of a nation.”

[12:1]  ⁴ tn The words “whose names are” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.
