Daniel 2:2

Context
2:2 The king issued an order 1  to summon the magicians, astrologers, sorcerers, and wise men 2  in order to explain his dreams to him. 3  So they came and awaited the king’s instructions. 4 

Daniel 2:10

Context

2:10 The wise men replied to the king, “There is no man on earth who is able to disclose the king’s secret, 5  for no king, regardless of his position and power, has ever requested such a thing from any magician, astrologer, or wise man.

1 tn Heb “said.” So also in v. 12.

2 tn Heb “Chaldeans.” The term Chaldeans (Hebrew כַּשְׂדִּים, kasdim) is used in the book of Daniel both in an ethnic sense and, as here, to refer to a caste of Babylonian wise men and astrologers.

3 tn Heb “to explain to the king his dreams.”

4 tn Heb “stood before the king.”

5 tn Aram “matter, thing.”
