7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching 1 until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into 2 the flaming fire.
1 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.
2 tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).
3 tn The Hebrew word translated “yellow jasper” is תַּרשִׁישׁ (tarshish); it appears to be a semiprecious stone, but its exact identity is somewhat uncertain. It may be the yellow jasper, although this is conjectural. Cf. NAB, NIV “chrysolite”; NASB, NRSV “beryl.”
4 tn Heb “torches of fire.”
5 tn Heb “The sound of his words” (cf. v. 9).
