Daniel 7:5

Context

7:5 “Then 1  a second beast appeared, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and there were three ribs 2  in its mouth between its teeth. 3  It was told, 4  ‘Get up and devour much flesh!’

1 tn Aram “and behold.”

2 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.

3 tc The LXX lacks the phrase “between its teeth.”

4 tn Aram “and thus they were saying to it.”
