Daniel 2:10

2:10 The wise men replied to the king, “There is no man on earth who is able to disclose the king’s secret, ¹  for no king, regardless of his position and power, has ever requested such a thing from any magician, astrologer, or wise man.

Daniel 2:24

2:24 Then Daniel went in to see ²  Arioch (whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon). He came ³  and said to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon! Escort me ⁴  to the king, and I will disclose the interpretation to him!” ⁵ 

[2:10]  ¹ tn Aram “matter, thing.”

[2:24]  ² tc The MT has עַל עַל (’al ’al, “he entered upon”). Several medieval Hebrew MSS lack the verb, although this may be due to haplography.

[2:24]  ³ tc The LXX and Vulgate, along with one medieval Hebrew MS, lack this verb.

[2:24]  ⁴ tn Aram “cause me to enter.” So also in v. 25.

[2:24]  ⁵ tn Aram “the king.”
