Discovery BoxDaniel 6:16 
Context6:16 So the king gave the order, 1 and Daniel was brought and thrown into a den 2 of lions. The king consoled 3 Daniel by saying, “Your God whom you continually serve will rescue you!”
Daniel 7:11
Context7:11 “Then I kept on watching because of the arrogant words of the horn that was speaking. I was watching 4 until the beast was killed and its body destroyed and thrown into 5 the flaming fire.
1 tn Aram “said.” So also in vv. 24, 25.
2 sn The den was perhaps a pit below ground level which could be safely observed from above.
3 tn Aram “answered and said [to Daniel].”
4 tc The LXX and Theodotion lack the words “I was watching” here. It is possible that these words in the MT are a dittography from the first part of the verse.
5 tn Aram “and given over to” (so NRSV).
