Konteks4:7 When the magicians, astrologers, wise men, and diviners entered, I recounted the dream for them. But they were unable to make known its interpretation to me.
[2:2] 1 tn Heb “said.” So also in v. 12.
[2:2] 2 tn Heb “Chaldeans.” The term Chaldeans (Hebrew כַּשְׂדִּים, kasdim) is used in the book of Daniel both in an ethnic sense and, as here, to refer to a caste of Babylonian wise men and astrologers.
[2:2] 3 tn Heb “to explain to the king his dreams.”
[2:2] 4 tn Heb “stood before the king.”
[3:8] 5 tc This expression is absent in Theodotion.
[3:8] 7 tn Aram “ate the pieces of.” This is a rather vivid idiom for slander.
