Daniel 4:23

Context
4:23 As for the king seeing a holy sentinel coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave its taproot in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze around it, surrounded by the grass of the field. Let it become damp with the dew of the sky, and let it live with the wild animals, until seven periods of time go by for him’ –

Daniel 12:7

Context
12:7 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 1  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 2  the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”

1 tn Or “to the heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heavens” or “sky” depending on the context.

2 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”).
