Daniel 4:29

4:29 After twelve months, he happened to be walking around on the battlements ¹  of the royal palace of Babylon.

Daniel 7:2

7:2 Daniel explained: ²  “I was watching in my vision during the night as ³  the four winds of the sky ⁴  were stirring up the great sea. ⁵ 

[4:29]  ¹ tn The word “battlements” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied from context. Many English versions supply “roof” here (e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV); cf. NLT “on the flat roof.”

[7:2]  ² tn Aram “answered and said.”

[7:2]  ³ tn Aram “and behold.”

[7:2]  ⁴ tn Or “the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

[7:2]  ⁵ sn The referent of the great sea is unclear. The common view that the expression refers to the Mediterranean Sea is conjectural.
