Daniel 6:1

Daniel is Thrown into a Lions’ Den

6:1 It seemed like a good idea to Darius ¹⁰  to appoint over the kingdom 120 satraps ¹¹  who would be in charge of the entire kingdom.

Daniel 1:17

1:17 Now as for these four young men, God endowed them with knowledge and skill in all sorts of literature and wisdom – and Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.

Daniel 6:15-16

6:15 Then those men came by collusion to the king and ¹²  said to him, ¹³  “Recall, ¹⁴  O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no edict or decree that the king issues can be changed.” 6:16 So the king gave the order, ¹⁵  and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den ¹⁶  of lions. The king consoled ¹⁷  Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

[29:10]  ¹ tn The noun מַּבּוּל (mabbul, “flood”) appears only here and in Gen 6-11, where it refers to the Noahic flood. Some see a reference to that event here. The presence of the article (perhaps indicating uniqueness) and the switch to the perfect verbal form (which could be taken as describing a past situation) might support this. However, the immediate context indicates that the referent of מַּבּוּל is the “surging waters” mentioned in v. 3. The article indicates waters that are definite in the mind of the speaker and the perfect is probably descriptive in function, like “thunders” in v. 3. However, even though the historical flood is not the primary referent here, there may be a literary allusion involved. The psalmist views the threatening chaotic sea as a contemporary manifestation of the destructive waters of old.

[29:10]  ² tn The prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) consecutive here carries the descriptive function of the preceding perfect.

[93:1]  ³ sn Psalm 93. The psalmist affirms that the Lord is the king of the universe who preserves order and suppresses the destructive forces in the world.

[93:1]  ⁴ sn Strength is compared here to a belt that one wears for support. The Lord’s power undergirds his rule.

[145:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “a kingdom of all ages.”

[146:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “for a generation and a generation.”

[4:34]  ⁷ tn Aram “days.”

[4:34]  ⁸ tn Aram “lifted up my eyes.”

[6:26]  ⁹ tn Aram “until the end.”

[6:1]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “It was pleasing before Darius.”

[6:1]  ¹¹ tn This is a technical term for an official placed in charge of a region of the empire (cf. KJV, NLT “prince[s]”; NCV, TEV “governors”). These satraps were answerable to a supervisor, who in turn answered to Darius.

[6:15]  ¹² tc Theodotion lacks the words “came by collusion to the king and.”

[6:15]  ¹³ tn Aram “the king.”

[6:15]  ¹⁴ tn Aram “know”; NAB “Keep in mind”; NASB “Recognize”; NIV, NCV “Remember.”

[6:16]  ¹⁵ tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.

[6:16]  ¹⁶ sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

[6:16]  ¹⁷ tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”
