Daniel 2:23-24

Context

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 1  requested from you.

For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.” 2 

2:24 Then Daniel went in to see 3  Arioch (whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon). He came 4  and said to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon! Escort me 5  to the king, and I will disclose the interpretation to him!” 6

[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.”

[2:24]  3 tc The MT has עַל עַל (’alal, “he entered upon”). Several medieval Hebrew MSS lack the verb, although this may be due to haplography.

[2:24]  4 tc The LXX and Vulgate, along with one medieval Hebrew MS, lack this verb.

[2:24]  5 tn Aram “cause me to enter.” So also in v. 25.

[2:24]  6 tn Aram “the king.”
