Footnotes

  1. 48 Aram “answered and said.”
  2. 49 The king identifies the “son of the gods” (v. 25) as an angel. Comparable Hebrew expressions are used elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible for the members of God’s angelic assembly (see Gen 6:2, 4; Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Pss 29:1; 89:6). An angel later comes to rescue Daniel from the lions (Dan 6:22).
  3. 50 Aram “they changed” or “violated.”
  4. 51 Aram “so that they might not.”
