Daniel 6:16

6:16 So the king gave the order, ⁹  and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den ¹⁰  of lions. The king consoled ¹¹  Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

[3:26]  ¹ tn Aram “answered and said.”

[3:26]  ² tn Aram “from the midst of the fire.” For stylistic reasons the words “the midst of” have been left untranslated.

[5:10]  ³ tn Aram “words of the king.”

[5:10]  ⁴ tn Aram “the queen” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). In the following discourse this woman is able to recall things about Daniel that go back to the days of Nebuchadnezzar, things that Belshazzar does not seem to recollect. It is likely that she was the wife not of Belshazzar but of Nabonidus or perhaps even Nebuchadnezzar. In that case, “queen” here means “queen mother” (cf. NCV “the king’s mother”).

[5:10]  ⁵ tn Aram “The queen.” The translation has used the pronoun “she” instead because repetition of the noun here would be redundant in terms of English style.

[5:17]  ⁶ tn Or “the.”

[6:13]  ⁷ tn Aram “from the sons of the captivity [of].”

[6:13]  ⁸ tn Aram “prays his prayer.”

[6:16]  ⁹ tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.

[6:16]  ¹⁰ sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

[6:16]  ¹¹ tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”

[6:20]  ¹² tn Aram “The king answered and said to Daniel.” This phrase has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons; it is redundant in English.

[11:10]  ¹³ sn The sons of Seleucus II Callinicus were Seleucus III Ceraunus (ca. 227-223 B.C.) and Antiochus III the Great (ca. 223-187 B.C.).

[11:10]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the enemy of the king of the north) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he will certainly come and overflow and cross over and return and be aroused unto a fortress.” The translation has attempted to simplify the syntax of this difficult sequence.
