Daniel 2:35

2:35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction 1  and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.

Daniel 11:17

11:17 His intention 2  will be to come with the strength of his entire kingdom, and he will form alliances. 3  He will give the king of the south 4  a daughter 5  in marriage in order to destroy the kingdom, but it will not turn out to his advantage.

1 tn Aram “as one.” For the meaning “without distinction” see the following: F. Rosenthal, Grammar, 36, §64, and p. 93; E. Vogt, Lexicon linguae aramaicae, 60.

2 tn Heb “and he will set his face.” Cf. vv. 18, 19.

3 tc The present translation reads מֵישָׁרִים (mesharim, “alliances”) for the MT וִישָׁרִים (viysharim, “uprightness”).

4 tn Heb “him”; the referent (the king of the south) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Heb “the daughter of the women.”

sn The daughter refers to Cleopatra, the daughter of Antiochus, who was given in marriage to Ptolemy V.
