and light resides with him.

2:32 As for that statue, its head was of fine gold, its chest and arms were of silver, its belly and thighs were of bronze.

Daniel 4:22

4:22 it is you, ³  O king! For you have become great and strong. Your greatness is such that it reaches to heaven, and your authority to the ends of the earth.

Daniel 8:26

8:26 The vision of the evenings and mornings that was told to you is correct. ⁴  But you should seal up the vision, for it refers to a time many days from now.”

Daniel 10:4

10:4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month ⁵  I was beside the great river, the Tigris. ⁶ 

Daniel 6:10

6:10 When Daniel realized ⁷  that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows ⁸  in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. ⁹  Three ¹⁰  times daily he was ¹¹  kneeling ¹²  and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.

Daniel 2:28

2:28 However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, ¹³  and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. ¹⁴  The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed ¹⁵  are as follows.

Daniel 2:38

Daniel 6:3-4

6:3 Now this Daniel was distinguishing himself above the other supervisors and the satraps, for he had an extraordinary spirit. In fact, the king intended to appoint him over the entire kingdom. 6:4 Consequently the supervisors and satraps were trying to find ¹⁹  some pretext against Daniel in connection with administrative matters. ²⁰  But they were unable to find any such damaging evidence, ²¹  because he was trustworthy and guilty of no negligence or corruption. ²² 

Daniel 6:14

6:14 When the king heard this, ²³  he was very upset and began thinking about ²⁴  how he might rescue Daniel. Until late afternoon ²⁵  he was struggling to find a way to rescue him.

Daniel 6:16

6:16 So the king gave the order, ²⁶  and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den ²⁷  of lions. The king consoled ²⁸  Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

Daniel 5:19

5:19 Due to the greatness that he bestowed on him, all peoples, nations, and language groups were trembling with fear ²⁹  before him. He killed whom he wished, he spared ³⁰  whom he wished, he exalted whom he wished, and he brought low whom he wished.

Daniel 6:26

6:26 I have issued an edict that throughout all the dominion of my kingdom people are to revere and fear the God of Daniel.

“For he is the living God;

he endures forever.

His kingdom will not be destroyed;

his authority is forever. ³¹ 

Daniel 3:15

3:15 Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don’t pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?” ³² 

[8:21]  ¹ tn Heb “the he-goat, the buck.” The expression is odd, and the second word may be an explanatory gloss.

[8:21]  ² tn Heb “Javan.”

[4:22]  ¹ sn Much of modern scholarship views this chapter as a distortion of traditions that were originally associated with Nabonidus rather than with Nebuchadnezzar. A Qumran text, the Prayer of Nabonidus, is often cited for parallels to these events.

[8:26]  ¹ tn Heb “truth.”

[10:4]  ¹ sn The first month would be the month of Nisan, during which Passover was observed.

[10:4]  ² tn The Hebrew text has חִדָּקֶל (hiddaqel). “Tigris” appears here in the LXX, since it is the Greek name for this river. Elsewhere in the OT “the great river” refers to the Euphrates (e.g., Gen 15:18; Josh 1:4), leading some interpreters to think that a mistake is involved in using the expression to refer to the Tigris. But it is doubtful that the expression had such a fixed and limited usage. The Syriac, however, does render the word here by “Euphrates” (Syr. perat) in keeping with biblical usage elsewhere.

[6:10]  ¹ tn Aram “knew.”

[6:10]  ² sn In later rabbinic thought this verse was sometimes cited as a proof text for the notion that one should pray only in a house with windows. See b. Berakhot 34b.

[6:10]  ³ map For the location of Jerusalem see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[6:10]  ⁴ sn This is apparently the only specific mention in the OT of prayer being regularly offered three times a day. The practice was probably not unique to Daniel, however.

[6:10]  ⁵ tc Read with several medieval Hebrew MSS and printed editions הֲוָה (havah) rather than the MT הוּא (hu’).

[6:10]  ⁶ tn Aram “kneeling on his knees” (so NASB).

[2:28]  ¹ tn Aram “a revealer of mysteries.” The phrase serves as a quasi-title for God in Daniel.

[2:28]  ² tn Aram “in the latter days.”

[2:28]  ³ tn Aram “your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed.”

[2:38]  ¹ tn Aram “the sons of man.”

[2:38]  ² tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

[2:38]  ³ tn Aram “hand.”

[6:4]  ¹ tn Aram “looking to find.”

[6:4]  ² tn Aram “from the side of the kingdom.”

[6:4]  ³ tn Aram “pretext and corruption.”

[6:4]  ⁴ tn Aram “no negligence or corruption was found in him.” The Greek version of Theodotion lacks the phrase “and no negligence or corruption was found in him.”

[6:14]  ¹ tn Aram “the word.”

[6:14]  ² tn Aram “placed his mind on.”

[6:14]  ³ tn Aram “the entrances of the sun.”

[6:16]  ¹ tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.

[6:16]  ² sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

[6:16]  ³ tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”

[5:19]  ¹ tn Aram “were trembling and fearing.” This can be treated as a hendiadys, “were trembling with fear.”

[5:19]  ² tn Aram “let live.” This Aramaic form is the aphel participle of חַיָה(khayah, “to live”). Theodotion and the Vulgate mistakenly take the form to be from מְחָא (mÿkha’, “to smite”).

[6:26]  ¹ tn Aram “until the end.”

[3:15]  ¹ tn Aram “hand.” So also in v. 17.
