[2:7]  ¹ tn Aram “his servants.”

[2:7]  ² tn Or “the.”

[4:13]  ³ tn Aram “the visions of my head.”

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Aram “a watcher and a holy one.” The expression is a hendiadys; so also in v. 23. This “watcher” is apparently an angel. The Greek OT (LXX) in fact has ἄγγελος (angelo", “angel”) here. Theodotion simply transliterates the Aramaic word (’ir). The term is sometimes rendered “sentinel” (NAB) or “messenger” (NIV, NLT).

[4:20]  ⁵ tn Aram “its sight.”

[6:28]  ⁶ tn Or perhaps “in the reign of Darius, even in the reign of Cyrus.” The identity of this Darius is disputed. Some take the name to be referring to Cyrus, understanding the following vav (ו, “and”) in an epexegetical sense (“even”). Others identify Darius with a governor of Babylon known from extra-biblical records as Gubaru, or with Cambyses, son of Cyrus. Many scholars maintain that the reference is historically inaccurate.

[8:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “the wrath of its strength.”

[11:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king of the north) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
