NETBible

When Daniel realized¹ that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows² in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem.³ Three⁴ times daily he was⁵ kneeling⁶ and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.

NET Notes

¹tn Aram “knew.”

²sn In later rabbinic thought this verse was sometimes cited as a proof text for the notion that one should pray only in a house with windows. See b. Berakhot 34b.

³map For the location of Jerusalem see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

⁴sn This is apparently the only specific mention in the OT of prayer being regularly offered three times a day. The practice was probably not unique to Daniel, however.

⁵tc Read with several medieval Hebrew MSS and printed editions הֲוָה (havah) rather than the MT הוּא (hu’).

⁶tn Aram “kneeling on his knees” (so NASB).

⁶sn No specific posture for offering prayers is prescribed in the OT. Kneeling, as here, and standing were both practiced.
