[7:26]  ¹ tn Aram “judgment will sit” (KJV similar).

[9:17]  ² tn Heb “hear.” Here the verb refers to hearing favorably, accepting the prayer and responding positively.

[9:17]  ³ tn Heb “let your face shine.” This idiom pictures God smiling in favor. See Pss 31:16; 67:1; 80:3, 7, 19.

[9:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “for the sake of my Lord.” Theodotion has “for your sake.” Cf. v. 19.

[11:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “arms.”

[11:22]  ⁶ tc The present translation reads הִשָּׁטֹף (hishatof), Niphal infinitive absolute of שָׁטַף (shataf, “to overflow”), for the MT הַשֶּׁטֶף (hashetef, “flood”).

[11:22]  ⁷ tn The words “in defeat” are added in the translation for clarification.

[11:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “a prince of the covenant.”

[11:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “broken” or “shattered.”

[9:26]  ¹⁰ sn The expression have nothing is difficult. Presumably it refers to an absence of support or assistance for the anointed one at the time of his “cutting off.” The KJV rendering “but not for himself,” apparently suggesting a vicarious death, cannot be defended.

[9:26]  ¹¹ tc Some witnesses (e.g., the Syriac) understand a passive verb and the preposition עִם (’im, “with) rather than the noun עַם (’am, “people”), thus reading “the city and the sanctuary will be destroyed with the coming prince.”

[9:26]  ¹² tn The words “will come speedily” are not in the Hebrew text but have been added in the translation for clarity.

[9:26]  ¹³ sn Flood here is a metaphor for sudden destruction.

[9:27]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “one seven” (also later in this line).

[9:27]  ¹⁵ tn The referent of the Hebrew word כְּנַף (kÿnaf, “wing”) is unclear here. The LXX and Theodotion have “the temple.” Some English versions (e.g., NAB, NIV) take this to mean “a wing of the temple,” but this is not clear.

[9:27]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text does not have this verb, but it has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[7:11]  ¹⁷ 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]  ¹⁸ tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).

[7:14]  ¹⁹ tn Some take “serving” here in the sense of “worshiping.”

[7:14]  ²⁰ tn Aram “is an eternal authority which will not pass away.”

[7:14]  ²¹ tn Aram “is one which will not be destroyed.”

[8:24]  ²² tn Heb “extraordinarily he will destroy.”

[8:24]  ²³ tn Heb “he will succeed and act.”

[8:24]  ²⁴ tn See the corresponding Aramaic expression in 7:27. If the “holy ones” are angels, then this probably refers to the angels as protectors of God’s people. One could translate, “people belonging to (i.e., protected by) the holy ones.” If the “holy ones” are God’s people, then this is an appositional construction, “the people who are the holy ones.” One could translate simply “holy people.” For examples of a plural appositional genitive after “people,” see 11:15, 32. Because either interpretation is possible, the translation has deliberately preserved the ambiguity of the Hebrew grammar here.
