Daniel 4:9

4:9 saying, “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, in whom I know there to be a spirit of the holy gods and whom no mystery baffles, consider ¹  my dream that I saw and set forth its interpretation!

Daniel 8:3

8:3 I looked up ²  and saw ³  a ⁴  ram with two horns standing at the canal. Its two horns were both long, ⁵  but one was longer than the other. The longer one was coming up after the shorter one.

Daniel 11:39

11:39 He will attack ⁶  mighty fortresses, aided by ⁷  a foreign deity. To those who recognize him he will grant considerable honor. He will place them in authority over many people, and he will parcel out land for a price. ⁸ 

[4:9]  ¹ tc The present translation assumes the reading חֲזִי (khazi, “consider”) rather than the MT חֶזְוֵי (khezvey, “visions”). The MT implies that the king required Daniel to disclose both the dream and its interpretation, as in chapter 2. But in the following verses Nebuchadnezzar recounts his dream, while Daniel presents only its interpretation.

[8:3]  ² tn Heb “lifted my eyes.”

[8:3]  ³ tn Heb “and behold.”

[8:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “one.” The Hebrew numerical adjective occasionally functions like an English indefinite article. See GKC 401 §125.b.

[8:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “high” (also “higher” later in this verse).

[11:39]  ⁶ tn Heb “act against.”

[11:39]  ⁷ tn Heb “with.”

[11:39]  ⁸ tn Or perhaps “for a reward.”
