Daniel 12:2

12:2 Many of those who sleep

in the dusty ground will awake –

some to everlasting life,

and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence. ¹ 

Daniel 12:13

12:13 But you should go your way ²  until the end. ³  You will rest and then at the end of the days you will arise to receive ⁴  what you have been allotted.” ⁵ 

[12:2]  ¹ sn This verse is the only undisputed reference to a literal resurrection found in the Hebrew Bible.

[12:13]  ² tn The words “your way” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[12:13]  ³ tc The LXX lacks “until the end.”

[12:13]  ⁴ tn The word “receive” is added in the translation for clarification.

[12:13]  ⁵ sn The deuterocanonical writings known as the Story of Susanna and Bel and the Dragon appear respectively as chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Daniel in the Greek version of this book. Although these writings are not part of the Hebrew/Aramaic text of Daniel, they were popular among certain early communities who valued traditions about the life of Daniel.
