1 tn Aram “walk.”
2 tc The translation reads מִפְשַׁר (mifshar) rather than the MT מְפַשַּׁר (mÿfashar) and later in the verse reads וּמִשְׁרֵא (mishre’) rather than the MT וּמְשָׁרֵא (mÿshare’). The Masoretes have understood these Aramaic forms to be participles, but they are more likely to be vocalized as infinitives. As such, they have an epexegetical function in the syntax of their clause.
3 tn Aram “to loose knots.”
4 tn Aram “let [Daniel] be summoned.”
5 tn The Aramaic text does not have “and.” The term “astrologers” is either an appositive for “wise men” (cf. KJV, NKJV, ASV, RSV, NRSV), or the construction is to be understood as asyndetic (so the translation above).
6 tn Heb “truth.”
7 tn Heb “with a powerful hand.”
8 sn The question is rhetorical, intended to encourage reflection on Daniel’s part.
