Daniel 8:5

[9:6]  ¹ tn Heb “in your name.” Another option is to translate, “as your representatives.”

[9:6]  ² tn Heb “our fathers” (also in vv. 8, 16). The Hebrew term translated “father” can refer to more distant relationships such as grandfathers or ancestors.

[9:6]  ³ tn Heb “people.”

[8:5]  ⁴ tn The words “all this” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.

[8:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and behold, a he-goat of the goats.”

[8:5]  ⁶ tn Or “of the whole earth” (NAB, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

[8:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “a horn of vision” [or “conspicuousness”], i.e., “a conspicuous horn,” one easily seen.
