Daniel 2:43

2:43 And ¹  in that you saw iron mixed with wet clay, so people will be mixed ²  with one another ³  without adhering to one another, just as ⁴  iron does not mix with clay.

Daniel 3:7

3:7 Therefore when they all ⁵  heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, ⁶  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 6:14

6:14 When the king heard this, ⁷  he was very upset and began thinking about ⁸  how he might rescue Daniel. Until late afternoon ⁹  he was struggling to find a way to rescue him.

Daniel 6:10

6:10 When Daniel realized ¹⁰  that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows ¹¹  in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. ¹²  Three ¹³  times daily he was ¹⁴  kneeling ¹⁵  and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.

[2:43]  ¹ tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew MSS, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.

[2:43]  ² sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

[2:43]  ³ tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

[2:43]  ⁴ tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh diy) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (he’-khÿdi). It is a case of wrong word division.

[3:7]  ⁵ tn Aram “all the peoples.”

[3:7]  ⁶ 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.

[6:14]  ⁹ tn Aram “the word.”

[6:14]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “placed his mind on.”

[6:14]  ¹¹ tn Aram “the entrances of the sun.”

[6:10]  ¹³ tn Aram “knew.”

[6:10]  ¹⁴ sn In later rabbinic thought this verse was sometimes cited as a proof text for the notion that one should pray only in a house with windows. See b. Berakhot 34b.

[6:10]  ¹⁵ map For the location of Jerusalem see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[6:10]  ¹⁶ sn This is apparently the only specific mention in the OT of prayer being regularly offered three times a day. The practice was probably not unique to Daniel, however.

[6:10]  ¹⁷ tc Read with several medieval Hebrew MSS and printed editions הֲוָה (havah) rather than the MT הוּא (hu’).

[6:10]  ¹⁸ tn Aram “kneeling on his knees” (so NASB).
