Daniel 2:20

2:20 saying, ¹ 

“Let the name of God ²  be praised ³  forever and ever,

for wisdom and power belong to him.

Daniel 2:23

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

for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.

Now you have enabled me to understand what I ⁴  requested from you.

For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.” ⁵ 

[2:20]  ¹ tn Aram “Daniel answered and said.”

[2:20]  ² sn As is often the case in the Bible, here the name represents the person.

[2:20]  ³ tn Or “blessed.”

[2:23]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Aram “the word of the king.”
