Daniel 11:17

Context
11:17 His intention 1  will be to come with the strength of his entire kingdom, and he will form alliances. 2  He will give the king of the south 3  a daughter 4  in marriage in order to destroy the kingdom, but it will not turn out to his advantage.

1 tn Heb “and he will set his face.” Cf. vv. 18, 19.

2 tc The present translation reads מֵישָׁרִים (mesharim, “alliances”) for the MT וִישָׁרִים (viysharim, “uprightness”).

3 tn Heb “him”; the referent (the king of the south) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “the daughter of the women.”

sn The daughter refers to Cleopatra, the daughter of Antiochus, who was given in marriage to Ptolemy V.
