[2:12]  ¹ tn Aram “was angry and very furious.” The expression is a hendiadys (two words or phrases expressing a single idea).

[5:9]  ² tn Aram “his visage altered upon him.” So also in v. 10.

[2:31]  ³ tn Aram “an image.”

[4:10]  ⁴ tc The LXX lacks the first two words (Aram “the visions of my head”) of the Aramaic text.

[4:10]  ⁵ tn Instead of “in the middle of the land,” some English versions render this phrase “a tree at the center of the earth” (NRSV); NAB, CEV “of the world”; NLT “in the middle of the earth.” The Hebrew phrase can have either meaning.

[4:10]  ⁶ tn Aram “its height was great.”

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Aram “the beasts of the field” (also in vv. 23, 25, 32).

[7:28]  ⁶ tn Aram “my brightness was changing on me.”

[7:28]  ⁷ tn Aram “in my heart.”
