1 tn Heb “said.” So also in v. 12.
2 tn Heb “Chaldeans.” The term Chaldeans (Hebrew כַּשְׂדִּים, kasdim) is used in the book of Daniel both in an ethnic sense and, as here, to refer to a caste of Babylonian wise men and astrologers.
3 tn Heb “to explain to the king his dreams.”
4 tn Heb “stood before the king.”
5 tn Aram “in the mouth of the king.”
6 tn Aram “to you they say.”
7 tc Theodotion lacks the words “came by collusion to the king and.”
8 tn Aram “the king.”
9 tn Aram “know”; NAB “Keep in mind”; NASB “Recognize”; NIV, NCV “Remember.”
10 tc In the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate the verb is active, understanding “judgment” to be the object rather than the subject of the verb (i.e., “the Ancient of Days rendered judgment”). This presupposes a different vocalization of the verb ( יְהַב [yÿhav] rather than the MT יְהִב [yÿhiv]).
11 tn Heb “on my face.”
12 tn Or “human one.”
13 tn Heb “and behold.”
14 tc The Greek version of Theodotion reads “I left him [i.e., Michael] there,” and this is followed by a number of English translations (cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT).
