Daniel 7:16

7:16 I approached one of those standing nearby and asked him about the meaning ¹  of all this. So he spoke with me and revealed ²  to me the interpretation of the vision: ³ 

Daniel 7:11

7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching ⁴  until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into ⁵  the flaming fire.

[7:16]  ¹ tn Aram “what is certain.”

[7:16]  ² tn Aram “and made known.”

[7:16]  ³ tn Aram “matter,” but the matter at hand is of course the vision.

[7:11]  ⁴ tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.

[7:11]  ⁵ tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).
