Daniel 2:12-13

Context

2:12 Because of this the king got furiously angry 1  and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. 2:13 So a decree went out, and the wise men were about 2  to be executed. They also sought 3  Daniel and his friends so that they could be executed.

1 tn Aram “was angry and very furious.” The expression is a hendiadys (two words or phrases expressing a single idea).

2 tn The Aramaic participle is used here to express the imminent future.

3 tn The impersonal active plural (“they sought”) of the Aramaic verb could also be translated as an English passive: “Daniel and his friends were sought” (cf. NAB).
