NET © Notes

tn Heb “said.” So also in v. 12.

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.

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

tn Heb “stood before the king.”
