Daniel 6:16

6:16 So the king gave the order, and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den of lions. The king consoled Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”

Daniel 7:11

7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into the flaming fire.


tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.

sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.

tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”

tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.

tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).
