Daniel 6:12-13

Context
6:12 So they approached the king and said to him,¹ “Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?” The king replied, “That is correct,² according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.” 6:13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the captives³ from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the edict that you issued. Three times daily he offers his prayer.”⁴

¹tc The MT also has “about the edict of the king,” but this phrase is absent in the LXX and the Syriac. The present translation deletes the expression.

tn Aram “before the king.”

²tn Aram “the word is true.”

³tn Aram “from the sons of the captivity [of].”

⁴tn Aram “prays his prayer.”
