1 tc In the MT this word is understood to begin the following address (“answered and said to the king, ‘O Nebuchadnezzar’”). However, it seems unlikely that Nebuchadnezzar’s subordinates would address the king in such a familiar way, particularly in light of the danger that they now found themselves in. The present translation implies moving the atnach from “king” to “Nebuchadnezzar.”
2 tn Aram “to return a word to you.”
3 tn Aram “there has been found in you.”
4 tn Aram “establish a written interdict and inscribe a written decree.”
5 tn Or “removed.”
6 tc Theodotion lacks the words “came by collusion to the king and.”
7 tn Aram “the king.”
8 tn Aram “know”; NAB “Keep in mind”; NASB “Recognize”; NIV, NCV “Remember.”
