Daniel 10:6

10:6 His body resembled yellow jasper, ¹  and his face had an appearance like lightning. His eyes were like blazing torches; ²  his arms and feet had the gleam of polished bronze. His voice ³  thundered forth like the sound of a large crowd.

Daniel 10:2

10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. ⁴ 

Kisah Para Rasul 7:6

7:6 But God spoke as follows: ‘Your ⁵  descendants will be foreigners ⁶  in a foreign country, whose citizens will enslave them and mistreat them for four hundred years. ⁷ 

[10:6]  ¹ tn The Hebrew word translated “yellow jasper” is תַּרשִׁישׁ (tarshish); it appears to be a semiprecious stone, but its exact identity is somewhat uncertain. It may be the yellow jasper, although this is conjectural. Cf. NAB, NIV “chrysolite”; NASB, NRSV “beryl.”

[10:6]  ² tn Heb “torches of fire.”

[10:6]  ³ tn Heb “The sound of his words” (cf. v. 9).

[10:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “three weeks of days.” The inclusion of “days” here and in v. 3 is perhaps intended to call attention to the fact that these weeks are very different in nature from those of chap. 9, which are “weeks of years.”

[7:6]  ⁵ tn Grk “that his”; the discourse switches from indirect to direct with the following verbs. For consistency the entire quotation is treated as second person direct discourse in the translation.

[7:6]  ⁶ tn Or “will be strangers,” that is, one who lives as a noncitizen of a foreign country.

[7:6]  ⁷ sn A quotation from Gen 15:13. Exod 12:40 specifies the sojourn as 430 years.
