Daniel 2:13

2:13 So a decree went out, and the wise men were about to be executed. They also sought Daniel and his friends so that they could be executed.


tn The Aramaic participle is used here to express the imminent future.

tn The impersonal active plural (“they sought”) of the Aramaic verb could also be translated as an English passive: “Daniel and his friends were sought” (cf. NAB).
