Daniel 5:19

Context
5:19 Due to the greatness that he bestowed on him, all peoples, nations, and language groups were trembling with fear 1  before him. He killed whom he wished, he spared 2  whom he wished, he exalted whom he wished, and he brought low whom he wished.

1 tn Aram “were trembling and fearing.” This can be treated as a hendiadys, “were trembling with fear.”

2 tn Aram “let live.” This Aramaic form is the aphel participle of חַיָה(khayah, “to live”). Theodotion and the Vulgate mistakenly take the form to be from מְחָא (mÿkha’, “to smite”).
