Daniel 2:41

2:41 In that you were seeing feet and toes ¹  partly of wet clay ²  and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Some of the strength of iron will be in it, for you saw iron mixed with wet clay. ³ 

Daniel 3:7

3:7 Therefore when they all ⁴  heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, ⁵  and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and language groups began bowing down and paying homage to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had erected.

Daniel 4:8

4:8 Later Daniel entered (whose name is Belteshazzar after the name of my god, ⁶  and in whom there is a spirit of the holy gods). I recounted the dream for him as well,

Daniel 4:12

4:12 Its foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful;

on it there was food enough for all.

Under it the wild animals ⁷  used to seek shade,

and in its branches the birds of the sky used to nest.

All creatures ⁸  used to feed themselves from it.

Daniel 4:33

4:33 Now in that very moment ⁹  this pronouncement about ¹⁰  Nebuchadnezzar came true. ¹¹  He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws. ¹² 

Daniel 4:36

4:36 At that time my sanity returned to me. I was restored ¹³  to the honor of my kingdom, and my splendor returned to me. My ministers and my nobles were seeking me out, and I was reinstated ¹⁴  over my kingdom. I became even greater than before.

Daniel 5:5

5:5 At that very moment the fingers of a human hand appeared ¹⁵  and wrote on the plaster of the royal palace wall, opposite the lampstand. ¹⁶  The king was watching the back ¹⁷  of the hand that was writing.

Daniel 5:12

5:12 Thus there was found in this man Daniel, whom the king renamed Belteshazzar, an extraordinary spirit, knowledge, and skill to interpret ¹⁸  dreams, solve riddles, and decipher knotty problems. ¹⁹  Now summon ²⁰  Daniel, and he will disclose the interpretation.”

Daniel 6:3

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.

Daniel 6:23

6:23 Then the king was delighted and gave an order to haul Daniel up from the den. So Daniel was hauled up out of the den. He had no injury of any kind, because he had trusted in his God.

[2:41]  ¹ tc The LXX lacks “and toes.”

[2:41]  ² tn Aram “potter’s clay.”

[2:41]  ³ tn Aram “clay of clay” (also in v. 43).

[3:7]  ⁴ tn Aram “all the peoples.”

[3:7]  ⁵ tc Though not in the Aramaic text of BHS, this word appears in many medieval Hebrew MSS, some LXX MSS, and Vulgate. Cf. vv. 5, 10, 15.

[4:8]  ⁷ sn This explanation of the meaning of the name Belteshazzar may be more of a paronomasia than a strict etymology.

[4:12]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

[4:12]  ¹¹ tn Aram “all flesh.”

[4:33]  ¹³ tn Aram “hour.”

[4:33]  ¹⁴ tn Or “on.”

[4:33]  ¹⁵ tn Aram “was fulfilled.”

[4:33]  ¹⁶ tn The words “feathers” and “claws” are not present in the Aramaic text, but have been added in the translation for clarity.

[4:36]  ¹⁶ tc The translation reads הַדְרֵת (hadret, “I returned”) rather than the MT הַדְרִי (hadri, “my honor”); cf. Theodotion.

[4:36]  ¹⁷ tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqÿnet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqÿnat, “it was established”). As it stands, the MT makes no sense here.

[5:5]  ¹⁹ tn Aram “came forth.”

[5:5]  ²⁰ sn The mention of the lampstand in this context is of interest because it suggests that the writing was in clear view.

[5:5]  ²¹ tn While Aramaic פַּס (pas) can mean the palm of the hand, here it seems to be the back of the hand that is intended.

[5:12]  ²² tc The translation reads מִפְשַׁר (mifshar) rather than the MT מְפַשַּׁר (mÿfashar) and later in the verse reads וּמִשְׁרֵא (mishre’) rather than the MT וּמְשָׁרֵא (mÿshare’). The Masoretes have understood these Aramaic forms to be participles, but they are more likely to be vocalized as infinitives. As such, they have an epexegetical function in the syntax of their clause.

[5:12]  ²³ tn Aram “to loose knots.”

[5:12]  ²⁴ tn Aram “let [Daniel] be summoned.”
