Daniel 7:9

7:9 “While I was watching,

thrones were set up,

His throne was ablaze with fire

and its wheels were all aflame. ⁵ 

Daniel 8:3

9:15 “Now, O Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with great power ¹⁰  and made a name for yourself that is remembered to this day – we have sinned and behaved wickedly.

[3:29]  ¹ tn Aram “from me is placed an edict.”

[3:29]  ² tn Aram “speaks negligence.”

[7:9]  ³ tn Or “the Ancient One” (NAB, NRSV, NLT), although the traditional expression has been retained in the present translation because it is familiar to many readers. Cf. TEV “One who had been living for ever”; CEV “the Eternal God.”

[7:9]  ⁴ tn Traditionally the Aramaic word נְקֵא (nÿqe’) has been rendered “pure,” but here it more likely means “of a lamb.” Cf. the Syriac neqya’ (“a sheep, ewe”). On this word see further, M. Sokoloff, “’amar neqe’, ‘Lamb’s Wool’ (Dan 7:9),” JBL 95 (1976): 277-79.

[7:9]  ⁵ tn Aram “a flaming fire.”

[8:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “lifted my eyes.”

[8:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “and behold.”

[8:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “one.” The Hebrew numerical adjective occasionally functions like an English indefinite article. See GKC 401 §125.b.

[8:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “high” (also “higher” later in this verse).

[9:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “with a powerful hand.”
