Daniel 4:21

4:21 whose foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful, and from which there was food available for all, under whose branches wild animals ¹  used to live, and in whose branches birds of the sky used to nest –

Daniel 4:12

4:12 Its foliage was attractive and its fruit plentiful;

on it there was food enough for all.

Under it the wild animals ²  used to seek shade,

and in its branches the birds of the sky used to nest.

All creatures ³  used to feed themselves from it.

Daniel 7:27

7:27 Then the kingdom, authority,

and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven

will be delivered to the people of the holy ones ⁴  of the Most High.

His kingdom is an eternal kingdom;

all authorities will serve him and obey him.’

[4:21]  ¹ tn Aram “the beasts of the field” (also in vv. 23, 25, 32).

[4:12]  ² tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

[4:12]  ³ tn Aram “all flesh.”

[7:27]  ³ tn If the “holy ones” are angels, then this probably refers to the angels as protectors of God’s people. If the “holy ones” are God’s people, then this is an appositional construction, “the people who are the holy ones.” See 8:24 for the corresponding Hebrew phrase and the note there.
