Daniel 2:45

2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. ¹  The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”

Daniel 5:16

5:16 However, I have heard ²  that you are able to provide interpretations and to decipher knotty problems. Now if you are able to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, you will wear purple and have a golden collar around your neck and be third ³  ruler in the kingdom.”

[2:45]  ¹ tn Aram “after this.”

[5:16]  ² tn The Aramaic text has also the words “about you.”

[5:16]  ³ tn Or perhaps “one of three rulers,” in the sense of becoming part of a triumvir. So also v. 29.
