Daniel 6:9

6:9 So King Darius issued the written interdict.

Daniel 9:13

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify ¹  the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ²  from your reliable moral standards. ³ 

Daniel 11:10

11:10 His sons ⁴  will wage war, mustering a large army which will advance like an overflowing river and carrying the battle all the way to the enemy’s ⁵  fortress. ⁶ 

[9:13]  ¹ tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”

[9:13]  ² tn Or “by gaining insight.”

[9:13]  ³ tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.

[11:10]  ¹ sn The sons of Seleucus II Callinicus were Seleucus III Ceraunus (ca. 227-223 B.C.) and Antiochus III the Great (ca. 223-187 B.C.).

[11:10]  ² tn Heb “his”; the referent (the enemy of the king of the north) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:10]  ³ tn Heb “and he will certainly come and overflow and cross over and return and be aroused unto a fortress.” The translation has attempted to simplify the syntax of this difficult sequence.
