Daniel 7:8

7:8 “As I was contemplating the horns, another horn – a small one – came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. ¹  This horn had eyes resembling human eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant ²  things.

Daniel 7:21

7:21 While I was watching, that horn began to wage war against the holy ones and was defeating ³  them,

Daniel 7:20

7:20 I also wanted to know ⁴  the meaning of the ten horns on its head, and of that other horn which came up and before which three others fell. This was the horn that had eyes ⁵  and a mouth speaking arrogant things, whose appearance was more formidable than the others. ⁶ 

Daniel 7:24

7:24 The ten horns

mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom.

Another king will arise after them,

but he will be different from the earlier ones.

He will humiliate ⁷  three kings.

Daniel 3:5

3:5 When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, ⁸  trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must ⁹  bow down and pay homage to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar has erected.

Daniel 3:7

3:7 Therefore when they all ¹⁰  heard the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, ¹¹  and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations, and language groups began bowing down and paying homage to the golden statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had erected.

Daniel 3:10

3:10 You have issued an edict, O king, that everyone must bow down and pay homage to the golden statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music.

Daniel 7:11

7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching ¹²  until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into ¹³  the flaming fire.

Daniel 7:7

7:7 “After these things, as I was watching in the night visions ¹⁴  a fourth beast appeared – one dreadful, terrible, and very strong. ¹⁵  It had two large rows ¹⁶  of iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and anything that was left it trampled with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that came before it, and it had ten horns.

Daniel 3:15

3:15 Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don’t pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?” ¹⁷ 

[7:8]  ¹ tn Aram “were uprooted from before it.”

[7:8]  ² tn Aram “great.” So also in vv. 11, 20.

[7:21]  ³ tn Aram “prevailing against” (KJV and ASV both similar); NASB “overpowering them”; TEV “conquered them.”

[7:20]  ⁴ tn The words “I also wanted to know” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[7:20]  ⁵ tc The conjunction in the MT before “eyes” is odd. The ancient versions do not seem to presuppose it.

[7:20]  ⁶ tn Aram “greater than its companions.”

[7:24]  ⁷ tn Or “subjugate”; KJV, NASB, NIV “subdue”; ASV, NRSV “put down.”

[3:5]  ⁸ sn The word zither (Aramaic קִיתָרוֹס [qitaros]), and the words for harp (Aramaic פְּסַנְתֵּרִין [pÿsanterin]) and pipes (Aramaic סוּמְפֹּנְיָה [sumponÿyah]), are of Greek derivation. Though much has been made of this in terms of suggesting a date in the Hellenistic period for the writing of the book, it is not surprising that a few Greek cultural terms, all of them the names of musical instruments, should appear in this book. As a number of scholars have pointed out, the bigger surprise (if, in fact, the book is to be dated to the Hellenistic period) may be that there are so few Greek loanwords in Daniel.

[3:5]  ⁹ tn The imperfect Aramaic verbs have here an injunctive nuance.

[3:7]  ¹⁰ tn Aram “all the peoples.”

[3:7]  ¹¹ tc Though not in the Aramaic text of BHS, this word appears in many medieval Hebrew MSS, some LXX MSS, and Vulgate. Cf. vv. 5, 10, 15.

[7:11]  ¹² tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.

[7:11]  ¹³ tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).

[7:7]  ¹⁴ tn The Aramaic text has also “and behold.” So also in vv. 8, 13.

[7:7]  ¹⁵ sn The fourth animal differs from the others in that it is nondescript. Apparently it was so fearsome that Daniel could find nothing with which to compare it. Attempts to identify this animal as an elephant or other known creature are conjectural.

[7:7]  ¹⁶ tn The Aramaic word for “teeth” is dual rather than plural, suggesting two rows of teeth.

[3:15]  ¹⁷ tn Aram “hand.” So also in v. 17.
