Daniel 2:43

2:43 And ¹  in that you saw iron mixed with wet clay, so people will be mixed ²  with one another ³  without adhering to one another, just as ⁴  iron does not mix with clay.

Daniel 6:8

6:8 Now let the king issue a written interdict ⁵  so that it cannot be altered, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed. ⁶ 

[2:43]  ¹ tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew MSS, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.

[2:43]  ² sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

[2:43]  ³ tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

[2:43]  ⁴ tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh diy) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (he’-khÿdi). It is a case of wrong word division.

[6:8]  ⁵ tn Aram “establish a written interdict and inscribe a written decree.”

[6:8]  ⁶ tn Or “removed.”
