Let it become damp with the dew of the sky, and let it live with the wild animals, until seven periods of time go by for him’ – 4:24 this is the interpretation, O king! It is the decision of the Most High that this has happened to my lord the king.

[22:20]  ¹ tn The words “he took” are not in the Greek text at this point, but are an understood repetition from v. 19.

[22:20]  ² tn The phrase “after they had eaten” translates the temporal infinitive construction μετὰ τὸ δειπνῆσαι (meta to deipnhsai), where the verb δειπνέω (deipnew) means “to eat a meal” or “to have a meal.”

[22:20]  ³ sn Jesus’ death established the forgiveness promised in the new covenant of Jer 31:31. Jesus is reinterpreting the symbolism of the Passover meal, indicating the presence of a new era.

[41:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “one dream it is.”

[41:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “are.” Another option is to translate, “There will be seven years of famine.”

[2:38]  ⁶ tn Aram “the sons of man.”

[2:38]  ⁷ tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”

[2:38]  ⁸ tn Aram “hand.”

[4:22]  ⁹ sn Much of modern scholarship views this chapter as a distortion of traditions that were originally associated with Nabonidus rather than with Nebuchadnezzar. A Qumran text, the Prayer of Nabonidus, is often cited for parallels to these events.

[1:4]  ¹⁰ tn The adverbial participle ἀκούσαντες (akousante") is understood to be temporal and translated with “since.” A causal idea may also be in the apostle’s mind, but the context emphasizes temporal ideas, e.g., “from the day” (v. 6).
