Daniel 2:18

2:18 He asked them to pray for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery so that he ¹  and his friends would not be destroyed along with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 7:11

7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching ²  until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into ³  the flaming fire.

[2:18]  ¹ tn Aram “Daniel.” The proper name is redundant here in English, and has not been included in the translation.

[7:11]  ² 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]  ³ tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).
