Daniel 2:30
Konteks2:30 As for me, this mystery was revealed to me not because I possess more wisdom 11 than any other living person, but so that the king may understand 12 the interpretation and comprehend the thoughts of your mind. 13
Daniel 4:19
Konteks4:19 Then Daniel (whose name is also Belteshazzar) was upset for a brief time; 14 his thoughts were alarming him. The king said, “Belteshazzar, don’t let the dream and its interpretation alarm you.” But Belteshazzar replied, “Sir, 15 if only the dream were for your enemies and its interpretation applied to your adversaries!

Daniel 5:21
Konteks5:21 He was driven from human society, his mind 26 was changed to that of an animal, he lived 27 with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.
Daniel 5:12
Konteks5:12 Thus there was found in this man Daniel, whom the king renamed Belteshazzar, an extraordinary spirit, knowledge, and skill to interpret 28 dreams, solve riddles, and decipher knotty problems. 29 Now summon 30 Daniel, and he will disclose the interpretation.”
[5:6] 1 tn Aram “[the king’s] brightness changed for him.”
[5:6] 2 tn Aram “his thoughts were alarming him.”
[5:6] 3 tn Aram “his loins went slack.”
[2:29] 4 tn Aram “your thoughts upon your bed went up to what will be after this.”
[5:10] 5 tn Aram “words of the king.”
[5:10] 6 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] 7 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.
[7:28] 8 tn Aram “my brightness was changing on me.”
[7:28] 9 tn Aram “in my heart.”
[2:30] 11 tn Aram “not for any wisdom which is in me more than [in] any living man.”
[2:30] 12 tn Aram “they might cause the king to know.” The impersonal plural is used here to refer to the role of God’s spirit in revealing the dream and its interpretation to the king. As J. A. Montgomery says, “it appropriately here veils the mysterious agency” (Daniel [ICC], 164-65).
[4:19] 14 tn Aram “about one hour.” The expression refers idiomatically to a brief period of time of undetermined length.
[5:20] 17 sn The point of describing Nebuchadnezzar as arrogant is that he had usurped divine prerogatives, and because of his immense arrogance God had dealt decisively with him.
[8:5] 18 tn The words “all this” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.
[8:5] 19 tn Heb “and behold, a he-goat of the goats.”
[8:5] 20 tn Or “of the whole earth” (NAB, ASV, NASB, NRSV).
[8:5] 21 tn Heb “a horn of vision” [or “conspicuousness”], i.e., “a conspicuous horn,” one easily seen.
[6:14] 23 tn Aram “placed his mind on.”
[6:14] 24 tn Aram “the entrances of the sun.”
[8:27] 25 tn The Hebrew word here is נִהְיֵיתִי (nihyetiy). Its meaning is not entirely clear. Hebrew הָיָה (hayah) normally has meanings such as “to be” or “become.” Here, however, it describes Daniel’s emotional and physical response to the enigmatic vision that he has seen. It is parallel to the following verb, which refers to illness, and seems to refer to a state of utter exhaustion due to the amazing things that Daniel has just seen. The LXX lacks the word. On the meaning of the word see further, BDB 227-28 s.v. הָיָה Niph.2; DCH 2:540 s.v. היה I Ni.3.
[5:21] 27 tn Aram “his dwelling.”
[5:12] 28 tc The translation reads מִפְשַׁר (mifshar) rather than the MT מְפַשַּׁר (mÿfashar) and later in the verse reads וּמִשְׁרֵא (mishre’) rather than the MT וּמְשָׁרֵא (mÿshare’). The Masoretes have understood these Aramaic forms to be participles, but they are more likely to be vocalized as infinitives. As such, they have an epexegetical function in the syntax of their clause.
