Discovery BoxDaniel 5:23 
Context5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone – gods 1 that cannot see or hear or comprehend! But you have not glorified the God who has in his control 2 your very breath and all your ways!
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 3 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 4 the holy people has been exhausted, all these things will be finished.”
1 tn Aram “which.”
2 tn Aram “in whose hand [are].”

4 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”).
