Daniel 2:9

2:9 If you don’t inform me of the dream, there is only one thing that is going to happen to you. ³  For you have agreed among yourselves to report to me something false and deceitful ⁴  until such time as things might change.

Daniel 2:23

2:23 O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,

[5:22]  ¹ tn Or “descendant”; or “successor.”

[5:22]  ² tn Aram “your heart.”

[2:9]  ¹ tn Aram “one is your law,” i.e., only one thing is applicable to you.

[2:9]  ² tn Aram “a lying and corrupt word.”

[2:9]  ³ tn Aram “I will know.”

[2:23]  ¹ tn Aram “we.” Various explanations have been offered for the plural, but it is probably best understood as the editorial plural; so also with “me” later in this verse.

[2:23]  ² tn Aram “the word of the king.”

[2:30]  ¹ tn Aram “not for any wisdom which is in me more than [in] any living man.”

[2:30]  ² tn Aram “they might cause the king to know.” The impersonal plural is used here to refer to the role of God’s spirit in revealing the dream and its interpretation to the king. As J. A. Montgomery says, “it appropriately here veils the mysterious agency” (Daniel [ICC], 164-65).

[2:30]  ³ tn Aram “heart.”
