Daniel 4:30

Context
4:30 The king uttered these words: “Is this not the great Babylon that I have built for a royal residence 1  by my own mighty strength 2  and for my majestic honor?”

Daniel 5:5

Context

5:5 At that very moment the fingers of a human hand appeared 3  and wrote on the plaster of the royal palace wall, opposite the lampstand. 4  The king was watching the back 5  of the hand that was writing.

Daniel 11:21

Context

11:21 “Then there will arise in his place a despicable person 6  to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will come on the scene in a time of prosperity and will seize the kingdom through deceit.

1 tn Aram “house.”

2 tn Aram “by the might of my strength.”

3 tn Aram “came forth.”

4 sn The mention of the lampstand in this context is of interest because it suggests that the writing was in clear view.

5 tn While Aramaic פַּס (pas) can mean the palm of the hand, here it seems to be the back of the hand that is intended.

6 sn This despicable person to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred is Antiochus IV Epiphanes (ca. 175-164 B.C.).
