Daniel 7:1
Konteks7:1 In the first 3 year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had 4 a dream filled with visions 5 while he was lying on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream in summary fashion. 6
[2:49] 1 tn Aram “and Daniel sought from the king and he appointed.”
[2:49] 2 tn Aram “was at the gate of the king.”
[7:1] 3 sn The first year of Belshazzar’s reign would have been ca. 553
[7:1] 5 tn Aram “and visions of his head.” The Aramaic is difficult here. Some scholars add a verb thought to be missing (e.g., “the visions of his head [were alarming him]”), but there is no external evidence to support such a decision and the awkwardness of the text at this point may be original.
[7:1] 6 tn Aram “head of words.” The phrase is absent in Theodotion. Cf. NIV “the substance of his dream.”
