Daniel 10:3

Context
10:3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine came to my lips, 1  nor did I anoint myself with oil 2  until the end of those three weeks.

1 tn Heb “mouth.”

2 sn Anointing oneself with oil (usually olive oil) was a common OT practice due to the severity of the Middle Eastern sun (cf. Ps 121:6). It was also associated with rejoicing (e.g., Prov 27:9) and was therefore usually not practiced during a period of mourning.
