[4:31]  2 tn Aram “to you they say.”

[6:17]  3 tn Aram “mouth.”

[6:17]  5 tn Aram “the signet rings.”

[7:5]  5 tn Aram “and behold.”

[7:5]  6 sn The three ribs held securely in the mouth of the bear, perhaps representing Media-Persia, apparently symbolize military conquest, but the exact identity of the “ribs” is not clear. Possibly it is a reference to the Persian conquest of Lydia, Egypt, and Babylonia.

[7:8]  7 tn Aram “were uprooted from before it.”

[7:8]  8 tn Aram “great.” So also in vv. 11, 20.

[7:20]  9 tn The words “I also wanted to know” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons.
