Daniel 2:28

2:28 However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, ⁴  and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. ⁵  The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed ⁶  are as follows.

Daniel 2:45

2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. ⁷  The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”

Daniel 4:35

4:35 All the inhabitants of the earth are regarded as nothing. ⁸ 

He does as he wishes with the army of heaven

and with those who inhabit the earth.

No one slaps ⁹  his hand

and says to him, ‘What have you done?’

[2:29]  ¹ tn Aram “your thoughts upon your bed went up to what will be after this.”

[12:8]  ² tn Heb “my lord,” a title of polite address.

[2:15]  ³ tn The Aramaic word מְהַחְצְפָה (mÿhakhtsÿfah) may refer to the severity of the king’s decree (i.e., “harsh”; so HALOT 1879 s.v. חצף; BDB 1093 s.v. חֲצַף), although it would seem that in a delicate situation such as this Daniel would avoid this kind of criticism of the king’s actions. The translation above understands the word to refer to the immediacy, not harshness, of the decree. See further, F. Rosenthal, Grammar, 50, §116; E. Vogt, Lexicon linguae aramaicae, 67.

[2:28]  ⁴ tn Aram “a revealer of mysteries.” The phrase serves as a quasi-title for God in Daniel.

[2:28]  ⁵ tn Aram “in the latter days.”

[2:28]  ⁶ tn Aram “your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed.”

[2:45]  ⁵ tn Aram “after this.”

[4:35]  ⁶ tc The present translation reads כְּלָא (kÿla’), with many medieval Hebrew MSS, rather than כְּלָה (kÿlah) of BHS.

[4:35]  ⁷ tn Aram “strikes against.”
