Daniel 5:29

Context

5:29 Then, on Belshazzar’s orders, 1  Daniel was clothed in purple, a golden collar was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed third ruler in the kingdom.

Daniel 10:5

Context
10:5 I looked up 2  and saw a 3  man 4  clothed in linen; 5  around his waist was a belt made of gold from Upaz. 6 

1 tn Aram “Belshazzar spoke.”

2 tn Heb “I lifted up my eyes.”

3 tn Heb “one.” The Hebrew numerical adjective is used here like an English indefinite article.

4 sn The identity of the messenger is not specifically disclosed. Presumably he is an unnamed angel. Some interpreters identify him as Gabriel, but there is no adequate reason for doing so.

5 tn The Hebrew word בַּדִּים (baddim) is a plural of extension. See GKC 396-97 §124.a, b, c and Joüon 2:500 §136.c.

6 tn The location of this place and even the exact form of the Hebrew name אוּפָז (’ufaz) are uncertain. Apparently it was a source for pure gold. (See Jer 10:9.) The Hebrew word פָז (paz, “refined gold” or “pure gold”) is more common in the OT than אוּפָז, and some scholars emend the text of Dan 10:5 to read this word. Cf. also “Ophir” (1 Kgs 9:28; Isa 13:12; Job 22:24; 28:16).
