Discovery BoxDaniel 6:13 
Context6:13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the captives 1 from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the edict that you issued. Three times daily he offers his prayer.” 2
Daniel 7:5
Context7:5 “Then 3 a second beast appeared, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and there were three ribs 4 in its mouth between its teeth. 5 It was told, 6 ‘Get up and devour much flesh!’
1 tn Aram “from the sons of the captivity [of].”
2 tn Aram “prays his prayer.”
3 tn Aram “and behold.”
4 sn The three ribs held securely in the mouth of the bear, perhaps representing Media-Persia, apparently symbolize military conquest, but the exact identity of the “ribs” is not clear. Possibly it is a reference to the Persian conquest of Lydia, Egypt, and Babylonia.
5 tc The LXX lacks the phrase “between its teeth.”
6 tn Aram “and thus they were saying to it.”
