[6:27]  ¹ tn Aram “hand.”

[7:1]  ² sn The first year of Belshazzar’s reign would have been ca. 553 B.C. Daniel would have been approximately 67 years old at the time of this vision.

[7:1]  ³ tn Aram “saw.”

[7:1]  ⁴ tn Aram “and visions of his head.” The Aramaic is difficult here. Some scholars add a verb thought to be missing (e.g., “the visions of his head [were alarming him]”), but there is no external evidence to support such a decision and the awkwardness of the text at this point may be original.

[7:1]  ⁵ tn Aram “head of words.” The phrase is absent in Theodotion. Cf. NIV “the substance of his dream.”

[9:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “face.”

[9:3]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew phrase translated “Lord God” here is אֲדֹנָי הָאֱלֹהִים (’adonay ha’elohim).

[9:3]  ⁸ sn When lamenting, ancient Israelites would fast, wear sackcloth, and put ashes on their heads to show their sorrow and contrition.

[11:43]  ⁹ tn Or “Nubians” (NIV, NCV); Heb “Cushites.”

[11:43]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Libyans and Cushites [will be] at his footsteps.”
