Daniel 2:41

Context5:5 At that very moment the fingers of a human hand appeared 4 and wrote on the plaster of the royal palace wall, opposite the lampstand. 5 The king was watching the back 6 of the hand that was writing.


[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).
[5:5] 2 sn The mention of the lampstand in this context is of interest because it suggests that the writing was in clear view.
[5:5] 3 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.
