Daniel 6:24

6:24 The king gave another order, ⁷  and those men who had maliciously accused ⁸  Daniel were brought and thrown ⁹  into the lions’ den – they, their children, and their wives. ¹⁰  They did not even reach the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

Daniel 9:13

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify ¹¹  the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ¹²  from your reliable moral standards. ¹³

[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.

[4:35]  ⁵ tc The present translation reads כְּלָא (kÿla’), with many medieval Hebrew MSS, rather than כְּלָה (kÿlah) of BHS.

[4:35]  ⁶ tn Aram “strikes against.”

[6:24]  ⁹ tn Aram “said.”

[6:24]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “had eaten the pieces of.” The Aramaic expression is ironic, in that the accusers who had figuratively “eaten the pieces of Daniel” are themselves literally devoured by the lions.

[6:24]  ¹¹ tn The Aramaic active impersonal verb is often used as a substitute for the passive.

[6:24]  ¹² tc The LXX specifies only the two overseers, together with their families, as those who were cast into the lions’ den.

[9:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”

[9:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “by gaining insight.”

[9:13]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.

[10:16]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Behold.”

[10:16]  ¹⁸ tc So most Hebrew MSS; one Hebrew MS along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and LXX read “something that looked like a man’s hand.”

[10:16]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.

[11:25]  ²¹ tn Heb “heart.”

[11:25]  ²² sn This king of the south was Ptolemy Philometer (ca. 181-145 B.C.).
