Daniel 2:28

2:28 However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, ¹  and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. ²  The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed ³  are as follows.

Daniel 11:20

11:20 There will arise after him ⁴  one ⁵  who will send out an exactor ⁶  of tribute to enhance the splendor of the kingdom, but after a few days he will be destroyed, ⁷  though not in anger or battle.

[2:28]  ¹ tn Aram “a revealer of mysteries.” The phrase serves as a quasi-title for God in Daniel.

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

[2:28]  ³ tn Aram “your dream and the visions of your head upon your bed.”

[11:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “on his place.”

[11:20]  ⁵ sn The one who will send out an exactor of tribute was Seleucus IV Philopator (ca. 187-176 B.C.).

[11:20]  ⁶ sn Perhaps this exactor of tribute was Heliodorus (cf. 2 Maccabees 3).

[11:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “broken” or “shattered.”
