Discovery BoxDaniel 3:15 
Context3:15 Now if you are ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, trigon, harp, pipes, and all kinds of music, you must bow down and pay homage to the statue that I had made. If you don’t pay homage to it, you will immediately be thrown into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire. Now, who is that god who can rescue you from my power?” 1
Daniel 12:7
Context12:7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was over the waters of the river as he raised both his right and left hands to the sky 2 and made an oath by the one who lives forever: “It is for a time, times, and half a time. Then, when the power of the one who shatters 3 the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”
1 tn Aram “hand.” So also in v. 17.
2 tn Or “to the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.
3 tc The present translation reads יַד־נֹפֵץ (yad-nofets, “hand of one who shatters”) rather than the MT נַפֵּץ־יַד (nappets-yad, “to shatter the hand”).
