Daniel 2:21-22

2:21 He changes times and seasons,

deposing some kings

and establishing others. ¹ 

He gives wisdom to the wise;

he imparts knowledge to those with understanding; ² 

2:22 he reveals deep and hidden things.

He knows what is in the darkness,

and light resides with him.

Daniel 7:22

7:22 until the Ancient of Days arrived and judgment was rendered ³  in favor of the holy ones of the Most High. Then the time came for the holy ones to take possession of the kingdom.

Daniel 8:11

8:11 It also acted arrogantly against the Prince of the army, ⁴  from whom ⁵  the daily sacrifice was removed and whose sanctuary ⁶  was thrown down.

[2:21]  ¹ tn Aram “kings.”

[2:21]  ² tn Aram “the knowers of understanding.”

[7:22]  ³ tc In the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate the verb is active, understanding “judgment” to be the object rather than the subject of the verb (i.e., “the Ancient of Days rendered judgment”). This presupposes a different vocalization of the verb ( יְהַב [yÿhav] rather than the MT יְהִב [yÿhiv]).

[8:11]  ⁴ sn The prince of the army may refer to God (cf. “whose sanctuary” later in the verse) or to the angel Michael (cf. 12:1).

[8:11]  ⁵ tn Or perhaps “and by him,” referring to Antiochus rather than to God.

[8:11]  ⁶ sn Here the sanctuary is a reference to the temple of God in Jerusalem.
