Daniel 6:16

6:16 So the king gave the order, ¹  and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den ²  of lions. The king consoled ³  Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

Daniel 6:22

6:22 My God sent his angel and closed the lions’ mouths so that they have not harmed me, because I was found to be innocent before him. Nor have I done any harm to you, O king.”

[6:16]  ¹ tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.

[6:16]  ² sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

[6:16]  ³ tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”
