Daniel 8:17

Daniel 10:1

An Angel Appears to Daniel

10:1 ⁵ In the third ⁶  year of King Cyrus of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel (who was also called Belteshazzar). This message was true and concerned a great war. ⁷  He understood the message and gained insight by the vision.

[8:26]  ¹ tn Heb “truth.”

[8:19]  ² tn The Hebrew text does not actually state the referent (the vision Daniel saw in vv. 8-12; cf. also v. 13), which has been specified in the translation for clarity. Some Greek witnesses add “the vision” here.

[8:17]  ³ tn Heb “on my face.”

[8:17]  ⁴ tn Or “human one.”

[10:1]  ⁴ sn This chapter begins the final unit in the book of Daniel, consisting of chapters 10-12. The traditional chapter divisions to some extent obscure the relationship of these chapters.

[10:1]  ⁵ tc The LXX has “first.”

[10:1]  ⁶ tn The meaning of the Hebrew word צָבָא (tsava’) is uncertain in this context. The word most often refers to an army or warfare. It may also mean “hard service,” and many commentators take that to be the sense here (i.e., “the service was great”). The present translation assumes the reference to be to the spiritual conflicts described, for example, in 10:16–11:1.
