Daniel 2:43

2:43 And 1  in that you saw iron mixed with wet clay, so people will be mixed 2  with one another 3  without adhering to one another, just as 4  iron does not mix with clay.

1 tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew MSS, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.

2 sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

3 tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

4 tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh diy) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (he’-khÿdi). It is a case of wrong word division.
