Daniel 6:8

6:8 Now let the king issue a written interdict ¹  so that it cannot be altered, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed. ² 

Daniel 4:37

4:37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all his deeds are right and his ways are just. He is able to bring down those who live ³  in pride.

Daniel 5:12

5:12 Thus there was found in this man Daniel, whom the king renamed Belteshazzar, an extraordinary spirit, knowledge, and skill to interpret ⁴  dreams, solve riddles, and decipher knotty problems. ⁵  Now summon ⁶  Daniel, and he will disclose the interpretation.”

Daniel 5:16

5:16 However, I have heard ⁷  that you are able to provide interpretations and to decipher knotty problems. Now if you are able to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, you will wear purple and have a golden collar around your neck and be third ⁸  ruler in the kingdom.”

Daniel 3:15

3:15 Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don’t pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?” ⁹ 

[6:8]  ¹ tn Aram “establish a written interdict and inscribe a written decree.”

[6:8]  ² tn Or “removed.”

[4:37]  ³ tn Aram “walk.”

[5:12]  ⁵ tc The translation reads מִפְשַׁר (mifshar) rather than the MT מְפַשַּׁר (mÿfashar) and later in the verse reads וּמִשְׁרֵא (mishre’) rather than the MT וּמְשָׁרֵא (mÿshare’). The Masoretes have understood these Aramaic forms to be participles, but they are more likely to be vocalized as infinitives. As such, they have an epexegetical function in the syntax of their clause.

[5:12]  ⁶ tn Aram “to loose knots.”

[5:12]  ⁷ tn Aram “let [Daniel] be summoned.”

[5:16]  ⁷ tn The Aramaic text has also the words “about you.”

[5:16]  ⁸ tn Or perhaps “one of three rulers,” in the sense of becoming part of a triumvir. So also v. 29.

[3:15]  ⁹ tn Aram “hand.” So also in v. 17.
