1 tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “that Nebuchadnezzar had erected.”
2 sn The first year of Belshazzar’s reign would have been ca. 553
3 tn Aram “saw.”
4 tn Aram “and visions of his head.” The Aramaic is difficult here. Some scholars add a verb thought to be missing (e.g., “the visions of his head [were alarming him]”), but there is no external evidence to support such a decision and the awkwardness of the text at this point may be original.
5 tn Aram “head of words.” The phrase is absent in Theodotion. Cf. NIV “the substance of his dream.”
6 tn Aram “were standing before him.”
7 tn Aram “judgment sat.”
8 tn Some take “serving” here in the sense of “worshiping.”
9 tn Aram “is an eternal authority which will not pass away.”
10 tn Aram “is one which will not be destroyed.”
11 tn Or “subjugate”; KJV, NASB, NIV “subdue”; ASV, NRSV “put down.”
12 tn Heb “we have not pacified the face of.”
13 tn Or “by gaining insight.”
14 tn Heb “by your truth.” The Hebrew term does not refer here to abstract truth, however, but to the reliable moral guidance found in the covenant law. See vv 10-11.
15 tn Heb “with a powerful hand.”
16 tn Or “a precious treasure”; KJV “greatly beloved”; NASB, NIV “highly esteemed.”
17 tn This sentence is perhaps a compound hendiadys (“give serious consideration to the revelatory vision”).
18 sn This well-fortified city is apparently Sidon. Its capture from the Ptolemies by Antiochus the Great was a strategic victory for the Seleucid kingdom.
19 tn Or “choice troops” (BDB 104 s.v. מִבְחָר), or “elite troops” (HALOT 542 s.v. מִבְחָר).
20 tn Heb “his face.” See v. 19 as well.
21 sn The commander is probably the Roman commander, Lucius Cornelius Scipio.
22 tn The Hebrew here is difficult in that the negative בִּלְתִּי (biltiy, “not”) is used in an unusual way. The sense is not entirely clear.
23 tn Heb “his shameful conduct he will return to him.”
24 tn Heb “heart.” So also in v. 28.
