¹ tn Heb “at the end of the days which the king said to bring them.”

² tn Aram “in that hour.”

³ tn This is sometimes taken as a comparative: “[some of the] strongest.”

⁴ sn There is a great deal of uncertainty with regard to the specific nature of these items of clothing.

⁵ tn Aram “into the midst of the furnace.” For stylistic reasons the words “the midst of” have been left untranslated.

⁶ tn Aram “its sight.” So also v. 17.

⁷ tn Or “to the end of all the earth” (so KJV, ASV); NCV, CEV “from anywhere on earth.”

⁸ tn Heb “on my standing.”

⁹ tc Heb “I heard the sound of his words.” These words are absent in the LXX and the Syriac.

¹⁰ tn Heb “as I listened to the sound of his words.”

¹¹ tn The preposition מִן (min) is probably temporal here (so BDB 583 s.v. 7.c; cf. KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV), although it could also be understood here as indicating means (so J. Goldingay, Daniel [WBC], 279, n. 23a; cf. TEV, NLT).

¹² tn Heb “nation.”
