¹ tn Aram “Daniel.” The proper name is redundant here in English, and has not been included in the translation.

² tn The words “your way” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

³ tc The LXX lacks “until the end.”

⁴ tn The word “receive” is added in the translation for clarification.

⁵ sn The deuterocanonical writings known as the Story of Susanna and Bel and the Dragon appear respectively as chapters 13 and 14 of the book of Daniel in the Greek version of this book. Although these writings are not part of the Hebrew/Aramaic text of Daniel, they were popular among certain early communities who valued traditions about the life of Daniel.
