NET Notes

¹tn The Aramaic indefinite active plural is used here like the English passive. So also in v. 28, 29,32.

²tn Aram “from mankind.” So also in v. 32.

³tn Aram “your dwelling will be.” So also in v. 32.

⁴tn Or perhaps “be made to eat.”

⁵sn Nebuchadnezzar’s insanity has features that are associated with the mental disorder known as boanthropy, in which the person so afflicted imagines himself to be an ox or a similar animal and behaves accordingly.

⁶tn Aram “until.”
