Daniel 3:7

3:7 Therefore when they all ¹  heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, ²  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 4:36

4:36 At that time my sanity returned to me. I was restored ³  to the honor of my kingdom, and my splendor returned to me. My ministers and my nobles were seeking me out, and I was reinstated ⁴  over my kingdom. I became even greater than before.

Daniel 6:13

6:13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the captives ⁵  from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the edict that you issued. Three times daily he offers his prayer.” ⁶ 

Daniel 6:10

6:10 When Daniel realized ⁷  that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows ⁸  in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. ⁹  Three ¹⁰  times daily he was ¹¹  kneeling ¹²  and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.

[3:7]  ¹ tn Aram “all the peoples.”

[3:7]  ² 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.

[4:36]  ³ tc The translation reads הַדְרֵת (hadret, “I returned”) rather than the MT הַדְרִי (hadri, “my honor”); cf. Theodotion.

[4:36]  ⁴ tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqÿnet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqÿnat, “it was established”). As it stands, the MT makes no sense here.

[6:13]  ⁵ tn Aram “from the sons of the captivity [of].”

[6:13]  ⁶ tn Aram “prays his prayer.”

[6:10]  ⁷ tn Aram “knew.”

[6:10]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ 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]  ¹⁰ 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]  ¹¹ tc Read with several medieval Hebrew MSS and printed editions הֲוָה (havah) rather than the MT הוּא (hu’).

[6:10]  ¹² tn Aram “kneeling on his knees” (so NASB).
