Daniel 8:9
Konteks8:9 From one of them came a small horn. 1 But it grew to be very big, toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land. 2
Daniel 11:37
Konteks11:37 He will not respect 3 the gods of his fathers – not even the god loved by women. 4 He will not respect any god; he will elevate himself above them all.
[8:9] 1 sn This small horn is Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who controlled the Seleucid kingdom from ca. 175-164
[8:9] 2 sn The expression the beautiful land (Heb. הַצֶּבִי [hatsÿvi] = “the beauty”) is a cryptic reference to the land of Israel. Cf. 11:16, 41, where it is preceded by the word אֶרֶץ (’erets, “land”).
[11:37] 4 tn Heb “[the one] desired by women.” The referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
