Daniel 2:45
Konteks2:45 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 11:2
Konteks11:2 Now I will tell you the truth.
“Three 2 more kings will arise for Persia. Then a fourth 3 king will be unusually rich, 4 more so than all who preceded him. When he has amassed power through his riches, he will stir up everyone against 5 the kingdom of Greece.
[2:45] 1 tn Aram “after this.”
[11:2] 2 sn Perhaps these three more kings are Cambyses (ca. 530-522
[11:2] 3 sn This fourth king is Xerxes I (ca. 486-465
[11:2] 4 tn Heb “rich with great riches.”
[11:2] 5 tn The text is difficult. The Hebrew has here אֶת (’et), the marker of a definite direct object. As it stands, this would suggest the meaning that “he will arouse everyone, that is, the kingdom of Greece.” The context, however, seems to suggest the idea that this Persian king will arouse in hostility against Greece the constituent elements of his own empire. This requires supplying the word “against,” which is not actually present in the Hebrew text.
