Daniel 6:5

6:5 So these men concluded, 1  “We won’t find any pretext against this man Daniel unless it is 2  in connection with the law of his God.”

Daniel 8:15

An Angel Interprets Daniel’s Vision

8:15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision, I sought to understand it. Now one who appeared to be a man was standing before me.

Daniel 10:5

10:5 I looked up 3  and saw a 4  man 5  clothed in linen; 6  around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz. 7 

Daniel 12:6

12:6 One said to the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, “When will the end of these wondrous events occur?”

1 tn Aram “were saying.”

2 tn Aram “unless we find [it] against him.”

3 tn Heb “I lifted up my eyes.”

4 tn Heb “one.” The Hebrew numerical adjective is used here like an English indefinite article.

5 sn The identity of the messenger is not specifically disclosed. Presumably he is an unnamed angel. Some interpreters identify him as Gabriel, but there is no adequate reason for doing so.

6 tn The Hebrew word בַּדִּים (baddim) is a plural of extension. See GKC 396-97 §124.a, b, c and Joüon 2:500 §136.c.

7 tn The location of this place and even the exact form of the Hebrew name אוּפָז (’ufaz) are uncertain. Apparently it was a source for pure gold. (See Jer 10:9.) The Hebrew word פָז (paz, “refined gold” or “pure gold”) is more common in the OT than אוּפָז, and some scholars emend the text of Dan 10:5 to read this word. Cf. also “Ophir” (1 Kgs 9:28; Isa 13:12; Job 22:24; 28:16).
