Daniel 8:13

8:13 Then I heard a holy one 7  speaking. Another holy one said to the one who was speaking, “To what period of time does the vision pertain – this vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the destructive act of rebellion and the giving over of both the sanctuary and army to be trampled?”

1 tc The MT has עַל עַל (’al ’al, “he entered upon”). Several medieval Hebrew MSS lack the verb, although this may be due to haplography.

2 tc The LXX and Vulgate, along with one medieval Hebrew MS, lack this verb.

3 tn Aram “cause me to enter.” So also in v. 25.

4 tn Aram “the king.”

5 tn Aram “about one hour.” The expression refers idiomatically to a brief period of time of undetermined length.

6 tn Aram “my lord.”

7 sn The holy one referred to here is presumably an angel. Cf. 4:13[10], 23 [20].

8 tn Heb “gave your heart.”
