Discovery BoxDaniel 1:10 
Context1:10 But he 1 responded to Daniel, “I fear my master the king. He is the one who has decided 2 your food and drink. What would happen if he saw that you looked malnourished in comparison to the other young men your age? 3 If that happened, 4 you would endanger my life 5 with the king!”
Daniel 2:41
Context2:41 In that you were seeing feet and toes 6 partly of wet clay 7 and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Some of the strength of iron will be in it, for you saw iron mixed with wet clay. 8
Daniel 2:45
Context2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. 9 The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”
Daniel 3:27
Context3:27 Once the satraps, prefects, governors, and ministers of the king had gathered around, they saw that those men were physically 10 unharmed by the fire. 11 The hair of their heads was not singed, nor were their trousers damaged. Not even the smell of fire was to be found on them!
Daniel 4:18
Context4:18 “This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its 12 interpretation, for none of the wise men in 13 my kingdom are able to make known to me the interpretation. But you can do so, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
Daniel 8:7
Context8:7 I saw it approaching the ram. It went into a fit of rage against the ram 14 and struck it 15 and broke off its two horns. The ram had no ability to resist it. 16 The goat hurled the ram 17 to the ground and trampled it. No one could deliver the ram from its power. 18
1 tn Heb “The overseer of the court officials.” The subject has been specified in the translation for the sake of clarity.
2 tn Heb “assigned.” See v. 5.
3 tn Heb “Why should he see your faces thin from the young men who are according to your age?” The term translated “thin” occurs only here and in Gen 40:6, where it appears to refer to a dejected facial expression. The word is related to an Arabic root meaning “be weak.” See HALOT 277 s.v. II זעף.
4 tn The words “if that happened” are not in the Hebrew text but have been added in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “my head.” Presumably this is an implicit reference to capital punishment (cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT), although this is not entirely clear.
6 tc The LXX lacks “and toes.”
7 tn Aram “potter’s clay.”
8 tn Aram “clay of clay” (also in v. 43).
9 tn Aram “after this.”
10 tn Aram “in their bodies.”
11 tn Aram “the fire did not have power.”
12 tc The present translation reads פִּשְׁרֵהּ (pishreh, “its interpretation”) with the Qere and many medieval Hebrew
13 tn Aram “of.”
14 tn Heb “him.”
15 tn Heb “the ram.”
16 tn Heb “stand before him.”
17 tn Heb “he hurled him.” The referents of both pronouns (the male goat and the ram) have been specified in the translation for clarity.
18 sn The goat of Daniel’s vision represents Greece; the large horn represents Alexander the Great. The ram stands for Media-Persia. Alexander’s rapid conquest of the Persians involved three battles of major significance which he won against overwhelming odds: Granicus (334
