12:6 One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?”

Daniel 9:21

9:21 yes, while I was still praying, ¹  the man Gabriel, whom I had seen previously ²  in a vision, was approaching me in my state of extreme weariness, ³  around the time of the evening offering.

Daniel 10:5

10:5 I looked up ⁴  and saw a ⁵  man ⁶  clothed in linen; ⁷  around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz. ⁸ 

Daniel 10:19

10:19 He said to me, “Don’t be afraid, you who are valued. ⁹  Peace be to you! Be strong! Be really strong!” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Sir, you may speak now, ¹⁰  for you have given me strength.”

Daniel 9:7

9:7 “You are righteous, ¹¹  O Lord, but we are humiliated this day ¹²  – the people ¹³  of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far away in all the countries in which you have scattered them, because they have behaved unfaithfully toward you.

Daniel 10:11

10:11 He said to me, “Daniel, you are of great value. ¹⁴  Understand the words that I am about to ¹⁵  speak to you. So stand up, ¹⁶  for I have now been sent to you.” When he said this ¹⁷  to me, I stood up shaking.

Daniel 12:7

12:7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky ¹⁸  and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters ¹⁹  the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”

[9:21]  ¹ tn Heb “speaking in prayer.”

[9:21]  ² tn Heb “in the beginning.”

[9:21]  ³ 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.

[10:5]  ¹ tn Heb “I lifted up my eyes.”

[10:5]  ² tn Heb “one.” The Hebrew numerical adjective is used here like an English indefinite article.

[10:5]  ³ sn The identity of the messenger is not specifically disclosed. Presumably he is an unnamed angel. Some interpreters identify him as Gabriel, but there is no adequate reason for doing so.

[10:5]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word בַּדִּים (baddim) is a plural of extension. See GKC 396-97 §124.a, b, c and Joüon 2:500 §136.c.

[10:5]  ⁵ tn The location of this place and even the exact form of the Hebrew name אוּפָז (’ufaz) are uncertain. Apparently it was a source for pure gold. (See Jer 10:9.) The Hebrew word פָז (paz, “refined gold” or “pure gold”) is more common in the OT than אוּפָז, and some scholars emend the text of Dan 10:5 to read this word. Cf. also “Ophir” (1 Kgs 9:28; Isa 13:12; Job 22:24; 28:16).

[10:19]  ¹ tn Heb “treasured man.”

[10:19]  ² tn Heb “my lord may speak.”

[9:7]  ¹ tn Heb “to you (belongs) righteousness.”

[9:7]  ² tn Heb “and to us (belongs) shame of face like this day.”

[9:7]  ³ tn Heb “men.”

[10:11]  ¹ tn Or “a treasured person”; KJV “a man greatly beloved”; NASB “man of high esteem.”

[10:11]  ² tn The Hebrew participle is often used, as here, to refer to the imminent future.

[10:11]  ³ tn Heb “stand upon your standing.”

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “spoke this word.”

[12:7]  ¹ tn Or “to the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[12:7]  ² tc The present translation reads יַד־נֹפֵץ (yad-nofets, “hand of one who shatters”) rather than the MT נַפֵּץ־יַד (nappets-yad, “to shatter the hand”).
