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.

Daniel 8:5

8:5 While I was contemplating all this, ⁵  a male goat ⁶  was coming from the west over the surface of all the land ⁷  without touching the ground. This goat had a conspicuous horn ⁸  between its eyes.

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.

⁵ tn The words “all this” are added in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarification.

⁶ tn Heb “and behold, a he-goat of the goats.”

⁷ tn Or “of the whole earth” (NAB, ASV, NASB, NRSV).

⁸ tn Heb “a horn of vision” [or “conspicuousness”], i.e., “a conspicuous horn,” one easily seen.
