Daniel 2:30

2:30 As for me, this mystery was revealed to me not because I possess more wisdom 1  than any other living person, but so that the king may understand 2  the interpretation and comprehend the thoughts of your mind. 3 

Daniel 6:20

6:20 As he approached the den, he called out to Daniel in a worried voice, 4  “Daniel, servant of the living God, was your God whom you continually serve able to rescue you from the lions?”

1 tn Aram “not for any wisdom which is in me more than [in] any living man.”

2 tn Aram “they might cause the king to know.” The impersonal plural is used here to refer to the role of God’s spirit in revealing the dream and its interpretation to the king. As J. A. Montgomery says, “it appropriately here veils the mysterious agency” (Daniel [ICC], 164-65).

3 tn Aram “heart.”

4 tn Aram “The king answered and said to Daniel.” This phrase has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons; it is redundant in English.
