Daniel 2:41

Context
2:41 In that you were seeing feet and toes 1  partly of wet clay 2  and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom. Some of the strength of iron will be in it, for you saw iron mixed with wet clay. 3 

Daniel 2:43

Context
2:43 And 4  in that you saw iron mixed with wet clay, so people will be mixed 5  with one another 6  without adhering to one another, just as 7  iron does not mix with clay.

1 tc The LXX lacks “and toes.”

2 tn Aram “potter’s clay.”

3 tn Aram “clay of clay” (also in v. 43).

4 tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew MSS, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.

5 sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.

6 tn Aram “with the seed of men.”

7 tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh diy) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (he-khÿdi). It is a case of wrong word division.
