Daniel 2:42

2:42 In that the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, the latter stages of this kingdom will be partly strong and partly fragile.

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 5:5

5:5 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]  ¹ tn Aram “came forth.”

[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.
