Daniel 2:9

2:9 If you don’t inform me of the dream, there is only one thing that is going to happen to you. 1  For you have agreed among yourselves to report to me something false and deceitful 2  until such time as things might change. So tell me the dream, and I will have confidence 3  that you can disclose its interpretation.”

Daniel 2:23

2:23 O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,

for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.

Now you have enabled me to understand what I 4  requested from you.

For you have enabled me to understand the king’s dilemma.” 5 

Daniel 4:36

4:36 At that time my sanity returned to me. I was restored 6  to the honor of my kingdom, and my splendor returned to me. My ministers and my nobles were seeking me out, and I was reinstated 7  over my kingdom. I became even greater than before.

Daniel 10:19

10:19 He said to me, “Don’t be afraid, you who are valued. 8  Peace be to you! Be strong! Be really strong!” When he spoke to me, I was strengthened. I said, “Sir, you may speak now, 9  for you have given me strength.”

1 tn Aram “one is your law,” i.e., only one thing is applicable to you.

2 tn Aram “a lying and corrupt word.”

3 tn Aram “I will know.”

4 tn Aram “we.” Various explanations have been offered for the plural, but it is probably best understood as the editorial plural; so also with “me” later in this verse.

5 tn Aram “the word of the king.”

6 tc The translation reads הַדְרֵת (hadret, “I returned”) rather than the MT הַדְרִי (hadri, “my honor”); cf. Theodotion.

7 tc The translation reads הָתְקְנֵת (hotqÿnet, “I was established”) rather than the MT הָתְקְנַת (hotqÿnat, “it was established”). As it stands, the MT makes no sense here.

8 tn Heb “treasured man.”

9 tn Heb “my lord may speak.”
