Daniel 6:12

6:12 So they approached the king and said to him, ²¹  “Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?” The king replied, “That is correct, ²²  according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.”

[3:6]  ¹ tn Aram “in that hour.”

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

[2:43]  ³ sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

[2:43]  ⁴ tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

[2:43]  ⁵ 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]  ³ tc The present translation reads כְּלָא (kÿla’), with many medieval Hebrew MSS, rather than כְּלָה (kÿlah) of BHS.

[4:35]  ⁴ tn Aram “strikes against.”

[8:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “extraordinarily he will destroy.”

[8:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “he will succeed and act.”

[8:24]  ⁶ tn See the corresponding Aramaic expression in 7:27. If the “holy ones” are angels, then this probably refers to the angels as protectors of God’s people. One could translate, “people belonging to (i.e., protected by) the holy ones.” If the “holy ones” are God’s people, then this is an appositional construction, “the people who are the holy ones.” One could translate simply “holy people.” For examples of a plural appositional genitive after “people,” see 11:15, 32. Because either interpretation is possible, the translation has deliberately preserved the ambiguity of the Hebrew grammar here.

[9:14]  ⁵ tn Or “righteous.”

[9:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “in all his deeds which he has done.”

[9:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “we have not listened to his voice.”

[6:13]  ⁶ tn Aram “from the sons of the captivity [of].”

[6:13]  ⁷ tn Aram “prays his prayer.”

[6:8]  ⁷ tn Aram “establish a written interdict and inscribe a written decree.”

[6:8]  ⁸ tn Or “removed.”

[6:27]  ⁸ tn Aram “hand.”

[4:37]  ⁹ tn Aram “walk.”

[8:13]  ¹⁰ sn The holy one referred to here is presumably an angel. Cf. 4:13[10], 23 [20].

[6:12]  ¹¹ tc The MT also has “about the edict of the king,” but this phrase is absent in the LXX and the Syriac. The present translation deletes the expression.

[6:12]  ¹² tn Aram “the word is true.”
