Daniel 4:3

4:3 “How great are his signs!

How mighty are his wonders!

His kingdom will last forever, ¹ 

and his authority continues from one generation to the next.”

Daniel 4:26

4:26 They said to leave the taproot of the tree, for your kingdom will be restored to you when you come to understand that heaven ²  rules.

Daniel 4:30-31

4:30 The king uttered these words: “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence ³  by my own mighty strength ⁴  and for my majestic honor?” 4:31 While these words were still on the king’s lips, ⁵  a voice came down from heaven: “It is hereby announced to you, ⁶  King Nebuchadnezzar, that your kingdom has been removed from you!

Daniel 7:24

7:24 The ten horns

Another king will arise after them,

but he will be different from the earlier ones.

He will humiliate ⁷  three kings.

Daniel 8:22-23

8:22 The horn that was broken ⁸  and in whose place there arose four others stands for four kingdoms that will arise from his nation, though they will not have his strength. 8:23 Toward the end of their rule, when rebellious acts ⁹  are complete, a rash ¹⁰  and deceitful ¹¹  king will arise. ¹² 

[4:3]  ¹ tn Aram “his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.”

[4:26]  ² sn The reference to heaven here is a circumlocution for God. There was a tendency in Jewish contexts to avoid direct reference to God. Cf. the expression “kingdom of heaven” in the NT and such statements as “I have sinned against heaven and in your sight” (Luke 15:21).

[4:30]  ³ tn Aram “house.”

[4:30]  ⁴ tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”

[4:31]  ⁵ tn Aram “in the mouth of the king.”

[4:31]  ⁶ tn Aram “to you they say.”

[7:24]  ⁷ tn Or “subjugate”; KJV, NASB, NIV “subdue”; ASV, NRSV “put down.”

[8:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “the broken one.” The word “horn” has been supplied in the translation to clarify the referent.

[8:23]  ⁹ tc The present translation reads הַפְּשָׁעִים (happÿsha’im, “rebellious acts”) for the MT הַפֹּשְׁעִים (happoshÿ’im, “rebels”). While the MT is understandable (cf. NIV, “when rebels have become completely wicked”), the filling up of transgressions is a familiar OT expression (cf. Gen 15:16) and fits this context well. Cf. the LXX, Theodotion, the Vulgate, and the Syriac.

[8:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “strong of face.”

[8:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “understanding riddles.” Possible meanings include “double-dealing” (BDB 295 s.v. חִידָה; cf. TEV, CEV) and “with a good knowledge of intrigue” (HALOT 309 s.v. חִידָה; cf. NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).

[8:23]  ¹² tn Heb “stand” or “stand up.”
