Daniel 2:38
Konteks2:38 Wherever human beings, 1 wild animals, 2 and birds of the sky live – he has given them into your power. 3 He has given you authority over them all. You are the head of gold.
Daniel 4:36
Konteks4:36 At that time my sanity returned to me. I was restored 4 to the honor of my kingdom, and my splendor returned to me. My ministers and my nobles were seeking me out, and I was reinstated 5 over my kingdom. I became even greater than before.
Daniel 6:10
Konteks6:10 When Daniel realized 6 that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows 7 in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. 8 Three 9 times daily he was 10 kneeling 11 and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.
[2:38] 1 tn Aram “the sons of man.”
[2:38] 2 tn Aram “the beasts of the field.”
[4:36] 4 tc The translation reads הַדְרֵת (hadret, “I returned”) rather than the MT הַדְרִי (hadri, “my honor”); cf. Theodotion.
[4:36] 5 tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqÿnet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqÿnat, “it was established”). As it stands, the MT makes no sense here.
[6:10] 7 sn 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.
[6:10] 8 map For the location of Jerusalem see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.
[6:10] 9 sn 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.
[6:10] 10 tc Read with several medieval Hebrew
[6:10] 11 tn Aram “kneeling on his knees” (so NASB).
[6:10] sn No specific posture for offering prayers is prescribed in the OT. Kneeling, as here, and standing were both practiced.
