Daniel 7:5

7:5 “Then ⁸  a second beast appeared, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and there were three ribs ⁹  in its mouth between its teeth. ¹⁰  It was told, ¹¹  ‘Get up and devour much flesh!’

[2:31]  ¹ tn Aram “an image.”

[7:16]  ² tn Aram “what is certain.”

[7:16]  ³ tn Aram “and made known.”

[7:16]  ⁴ tn Aram “matter,” but the matter at hand is of course the vision.

[3:19]  ³ tn Aram “the appearance of his face was altered”; cf. NLT “his face became distorted with rage”; NAB “[his] face became livid with utter rage.”

[3:19]  ⁴ tn Aram “he answered and said.”

[6:2]  ⁴ tn Aram “giving an account.”

[7:5]  ⁵ tn Aram “and behold.”

[7:5]  ⁶ sn The three ribs held securely in the mouth of the bear, perhaps representing Media-Persia, apparently symbolize military conquest, but the exact identity of the “ribs” is not clear. Possibly it is a reference to the Persian conquest of Lydia, Egypt, and Babylonia.

[7:5]  ⁷ tc The LXX lacks the phrase “between its teeth.”

[7:5]  ⁸ tn Aram “and thus they were saying to it.”
