[4:11]  ¹ tn Grk “and behold, angels.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

[25:31]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:2]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “Five of them.”

[6:17]  ⁵ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[7:10]  ⁶ tn Aram “were standing before him.”

[7:10]  ⁷ tn Aram “judgment sat.”

[7:2]  ⁸ tn Aram “answered and said.”

[7:2]  ⁹ tn Aram “and behold.”

[7:2]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[7:2]  ¹¹ sn The referent of the great sea is unclear. The common view that the expression refers to the Mediterranean Sea is conjectural.

[1:7]  ¹² tc The LXX and Vulgate lack the verb here.

[1:7]  ¹³ sn The meanings of the Babylonian names are more conjectural than is the case with the Hebrew names. The probable etymologies are as follows: Belteshazzar means “protect his life,” although the MT vocalization may suggest “Belti, protect the king” (cf. Dan 4:8); Shadrach perhaps means “command of Aku”; Meshach is of uncertain meaning; Abednego means “servant of Nego.” Assigning Babylonian names to the Hebrew youths may have been an attempt to erase from their memory their Israelite heritage.

[1:14]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the seventh from Adam.”

[1:14]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “against them.” The dative τούτοις (toutois) is a dativus incommodi (dative of disadvantage).

[1:14]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “has come,” a proleptic aorist.

[1:14]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “ten thousands.” The word μυριάς (muria"), from which the English myriad is derived, means “ten thousand.” In the plural it means “ten thousands.” This would mean, minimally, 20,000 (a multiple of ten thousand). At the same time, the term was often used in apocalyptic literature to represent simply a rather large number, without any attempt to be specific.
