Daniel 2:45

Context
2:45 You saw that a stone was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands; it smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold into pieces. The great God has made known to the king what will occur in the future. 1  The dream is certain, and its interpretation is reliable.”

Daniel 4:33

Context

4:33 Now in that very moment 2  this pronouncement about 3  Nebuchadnezzar came true. 4  He was driven from human society, he ate grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until his hair became long like an eagle’s feathers, and his nails like a bird’s claws. 5 

Daniel 6:7

Context
6:7 To all the supervisors of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, counselors, and governors it seemed like a good idea for a royal edict to be issued and an interdict to be enforced. For the next thirty days anyone who prays 6  to any god or human other than you, O king, should be thrown into a den of lions.

Daniel 7:8

Context

7:8 “As I was contemplating the horns, another horn – a small one – came up between them, and three of the former horns were torn out by the roots to make room for it. 7  This horn had eyes resembling human eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant 8  things.

Daniel 8:25

Context
8:25 By his treachery 9  he will succeed through deceit. 10  He will have an arrogant attitude, 11  and he will destroy many who are unaware of his schemes. 12  He will rise up against the Prince of princes, yet he will be broken apart – but not by human agency. 13 

Daniel 10:16

Context
10:16 Then 14  one who appeared to be a human being 15  was touching my lips. I opened my mouth and started to speak, saying to the one who was standing before me, “Sir, 16  due to the vision, anxiety has gripped me and I have no strength.

1 tn Aram “after this.”

2 tn Aram “hour.”

3 tn Or “on.”

4 tn Aram “was fulfilled.”

5 tn The words “feathers” and “claws” are not present in the Aramaic text, but have been added in the translation for clarity.

6 tn Aram “prays a prayer.”

7 tn Aram “were uprooted from before it.”

8 tn Aram “great.” So also in vv. 11, 20.

9 tn The Hebrew term has a primary meaning of “skill, insight,” but here it has the connotation “cunning, treachery.” See BDB 968 s.v. שֵׂכֶל, שֶׂכֶל.

10 tn Heb “he will cause deceit to succeed by his hand.”

11 tn Heb “in his heart he will act arrogantly.”

12 tn Heb “in peace.” The Hebrew word used here is difficult. It may refer to the security felt by those who did not realize the danger of imminent attack, or it may refer to the condition of being unaware of the impending danger. The latter idea is reflected in the present translation. See further, BDB 1017 s.v. שַׁלְוָה.

13 tn Heb “with nothingness of hand.”

14 tn Heb “Behold.”

15 tc So most Hebrew MSS; one Hebrew MS along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and LXX read “something that looked like a man’s hand.”

16 tn Heb “my lord,” here a title of polite address. Cf. v. 19.
