| NET © Notes |
1 sn The first year of Belshazzar’s reign would have been ca. 553 2 tn Aram “saw.” 3 tn Aram “and visions of his head.” The Aramaic is difficult here. Some scholars add a verb thought to be missing (e.g., “the visions of his head [were alarming him]”), but there is no external evidence to support such a decision and the awkwardness of the text at this point may be original. 4 tn Aram “head of words.” The phrase is absent in Theodotion. Cf. NIV “the substance of his dream.” |
