Daniel 2:23

2:23 O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,

for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.

Now you have enabled me to understand what I ¹  requested from you.

For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.” ² 

Daniel 2:28

2:28 However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, ³  and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. ⁴  The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed ⁵  are as follows.

Daniel 6:23

6:23 Then the king was delighted and gave an order to haul Daniel up from the den. So Daniel was hauled up out of the den. He had no injury of any kind, because he had trusted in his God.

Daniel 9:13

9:13 Just as it is written in the law of Moses, so all this calamity has come on us. Still we have not tried to pacify ⁶  the LORD our God by turning back from our sin and by seeking wisdom ⁷  from your reliable moral standards. ⁸ 

Daniel 9:15

9:15 “Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with great power ⁹  and made a name for yourself that is remembered to this day – we have sinned and behaved wickedly.

[2:23]  ¹ tn Aram “we.” Various explanations have been offered for the plural, but it is probably best understood as the editorial plural; so also with “me” later in this verse.

[2:23]  ² tn Aram “the word of the king.”

[2:28]  ³ tn Aram “a revealer of mysteries.” The phrase serves as a quasi-title for God in Daniel.

[2:28]  ⁴ tn Aram “in the latter days.”

[2:28]  ⁵ tn Aram “your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed.”

[9:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”

[9:13]  ⁷ tn Or “by gaining insight.”

[9:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.

[9:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “with a powerful hand.”
