Daniel 11:40-41

11:40 “At the time of the end the king of the south will attack ⁷  him. Then the king of the north will storm against him ⁸  with chariots, horsemen, and a large armada of ships. ⁹  He ¹⁰  will invade lands, passing through them like an overflowing river. ¹¹  11:41 Then he will enter the beautiful land. ¹²  Many ¹³  will fall, but these will escape: ¹⁴  Edom, Moab, and the Ammonite leadership.

[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.”

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “with a powerful hand.”

[10:9]  ⁷ tc Heb “I heard the sound of his words.” These words are absent in the LXX and the Syriac.

[10:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “as I listened to the sound of his words.”

[11:40]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “engage in thrusting.”

[11:40]  ¹¹ tn The referent of the pronoun is most likely the king of the south, in which case the text describes the king of the north countering the attack of the king of the south.

[11:40]  ¹² tn Heb “many ships.”

[11:40]  ¹³ tn This most likely refers to the king of the north who, in response to the aggression of the king of the south, launches an invasion of the southern regions.

[11:40]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and will overflow and pass over.”

[11:41]  ¹³ sn The beautiful land is a cryptic reference to the land of Israel.

[11:41]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “be delivered from his hand.”
