Discovery BoxDaniel 5:3 
Context5:3 So they brought the gold and silver 1 vessels that had been confiscated from the temple, the house of God 2 in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, together with his wives and concubines, drank from them.
Daniel 9:12
Context9:12 He has carried out his threats 3 against us and our rulers 4 who were over 5 us by bringing great calamity on us – what has happened to Jerusalem has never been equaled under all heaven!
1 tc The present translation reads וְכַסְפָּא (vÿkhaspa’, “and the silver”) with Theodotion and the Vulgate. Cf. v. 2. The form was probably accidentally dropped from the Aramaic text by homoioteleuton.
2 tn Aram “the temple of the house of God.” The phrase seems rather awkward. The Vulgate lacks “of the house of God,” while Theodotion and the Syriac lack “the house.”
3 tn Heb “he has fulfilled his word(s) which he spoke.”
4 tn Heb “our judges.”
5 tn Heb “who judged.”
