Daniel 6:24

Context
6:24 The king gave another order, 4  and those men who had maliciously accused 5  Daniel were brought and thrown 6  into the lions’ den – they, their children, and their wives. 7  They did not even reach the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

[6:16]  1 tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.

[6:16]  2 sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

[6:16]  3 tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”

[6:24]  4 tn Aram “said.”

[6:24]  5 tn Aram “had eaten the pieces of.” The Aramaic expression is ironic, in that the accusers who had figuratively “eaten the pieces of Daniel” are themselves literally devoured by the lions.

[6:24]  6 tn The Aramaic active impersonal verb is often used as a substitute for the passive.

[6:24]  7 tc The LXX specifies only the two overseers, together with their families, as those who were cast into the lions’ den.
