Daniel 6:10

Context

6:10 When Daniel realized 1  that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows 2  in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. 3  Three 4  times daily he was 5  kneeling 6  and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.

Daniel 9:18

Context
9:18 Listen attentively, 7  my God, and hear! Open your eyes and look on our desolated ruins 8  and the city called by your name. 9  For it is not because of our own righteous deeds that we are praying to you, 10  but because your compassion is abundant.

Daniel 10:16

Context
10:16 Then 11  one who appeared to be a human being 12  was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, 13  due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength.

[6:10]  1 tn Aram “knew.”

[6:10]  2 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]  3 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]  4 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]  5 tc Read with several medieval Hebrew MSS and printed editions הֲוָה (havah) rather than the MT הוּא (hu’).

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

[9:18]  7 tn Heb “turn your ear.”

[9:18]  8 tn Heb “desolations.” The term refers here to the ruined condition of Judah’s towns.

[9:18]  9 tn Heb “over which your name is called.” Cf. v. 19. This expression implies that God is the owner of his city, Jerusalem. Note the use of the idiom in 2 Sam 12:28; Isa 4:1; Amos 9:12.

[9:18]  10 tn Heb “praying our supplications before you.”

[10:16]  13 tn Heb “Behold.”

[10:16]  14 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]  15 tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.
