Daniel 2:28

2:28 However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, ¹  and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. ²  The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed ³  are as follows.

Daniel 4:10

4:10 Here are the visions of my mind ⁴  while I was on my bed.

While I was watching,

there was a tree in the middle of the land. ⁵ 

It was enormously tall. ⁶ 

Daniel 6:14

6:14 When the king heard this, ⁷  he was very upset and began thinking about ⁸  how he might rescue Daniel. Until late afternoon ⁹  he was struggling to find a way to rescue him.

Daniel 7:1

Daniel has a Vision of Four Animals Coming up from the Sea

7:1 In the first ¹⁰  year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had ¹¹  a dream filled with visions ¹²  while he was lying on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream in summary fashion. ¹³ 

[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.”

[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.”

[6:14]  ⁷ tn Aram “the word.”

[6:14]  ⁸ tn Aram “placed his mind on.”

[6:14]  ⁹ tn Aram “the entrances of the sun.”

[7:1]  ¹⁰ sn The first year of Belshazzar’s reign would have been ca. 553 B.C. Daniel would have been approximately 67 years old at the time of this vision.

[7:1]  ¹¹ tn Aram “saw.”

[7:1]  ¹² tn Aram “and visions of his head.” The Aramaic is difficult here. Some scholars add a verb thought to be missing (e.g., “the visions of his head [were alarming him]”), but there is no external evidence to support such a decision and the awkwardness of the text at this point may be original.

[7:1]  ¹³ tn Aram “head of words.” The phrase is absent in Theodotion. Cf. NIV “the substance of his dream.”
