[34:7]  ¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:7]  ² tn Heb “those who fear him.”

[34:7]  ³ tn The prefixed verb with vav (ו) consecutive here carries the same generalizing force as the active participle in the first line. See GKC 329 §111.u.

[8:19]  ⁴ 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.

[9:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “speaking in prayer.”

[9:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “in the beginning.”

[9:21]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew expression בִּיעָף מֻעָף (mu’af bi’af) is very difficult. The issue is whether the verb derives from עוּף (’uf, “to fly”) or from יָעַף (ya’af, “to be weary”). Many ancient versions and modern commentators take the first of these possibilities and understand the reference to be to the swift flight of the angel Gabriel in his coming to Daniel. The words more likely refer to the extreme weariness, not of the angel, but of Daniel. Cf. 7:28; 8:27; 10:8-9, 16-17; also NASB.

[10:9]  ⁸ tc Heb “I heard the sound of his words.” These words are absent in the LXX and the Syriac.

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

[10:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Behold.”

[10:10]  ¹¹ tc Theodotion lacks “and the palms of my hands.”

[12:7]  ¹² tn Grk “And behold.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here. The interjection ἰδού (idou), often difficult to translate into English, expresses the suddenness of the angel’s appearance.

[12:7]  ¹³ tn Or “the angel of the Lord.” See the note on the word “Lord” in 5:19.

[12:7]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “striking the side of Peter, he awoke him saying.” The term refers to a push or a light tap (BDAG 786 s.v. πατάσσω 1.a). The participle πατάξας (pataxa") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[12:7]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “his”; the referent (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:7]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “the hands,” but the wrist was considered a part of the hand.

[1:14]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “sent for service for the sake of those.”
