1:14 So the warden ¹  agreed to their proposal ²  and tested them for ten ³  days.

Daniel 10:2

10:2 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three whole weeks. ⁴ 

Daniel 12:12

12:12 Blessed is the one who waits and attains to the 1,335 days.

¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the warden mentioned in v. 11) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “listened to them with regard to this matter.”

³ sn The number ten is sometimes used in the OT as an ideal number of completeness. Cf. v. 20; Zech 8:23; Rev 2:10.

⁴ tn Heb “three weeks of days.” The inclusion of “days” here and in v. 3 is perhaps intended to call attention to the fact that these weeks are very different in nature from those of chap. 9, which are “weeks of years.”
