[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.”

[4:12]  ⁷ tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

[4:12]  ⁸ tn Aram “all flesh.”

[6:14]  ⁸ tn Aram “the word.”

[6:14]  ⁹ tn Aram “placed his mind on.”

[6:14]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “the entrances of the sun.”

[7:5]  ⁹ tn Aram “and behold.”

[7:5]  ¹⁰ sn The three ribs held securely in the mouth of the bear, perhaps representing Media-Persia, apparently symbolize military conquest, but the exact identity of the “ribs” is not clear. Possibly it is a reference to the Persian conquest of Lydia, Egypt, and Babylonia.

[7:5]  ¹¹ tc The LXX lacks the phrase “between its teeth.”

[7:5]  ¹² tn Aram “and thus they were saying to it.”
