Daniel 6:10
Context6:10 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
Context9:18 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
Context10:16 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] 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
[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] 14 tc So most Hebrew
[10:16] 15 tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.
