Footnotes

  1. 13 Heb “have given … into the hand of.”
  2. 14 See the study note on for the significance of the application of this term to Nebuchadnezzar.
  3. 15 Heb “I have given … to him to serve him.” The verb “give” in this syntactical situation is functioning like the Hiphil stem, i.e., as a causative. See Dan 1:9 for parallel usage. For the usage of “serve” meaning “be subject to” compare 2 Sam 22:44 and 713 עָבַד 3. This statement is rhetorical, emphasizing the totality of Nebuchadnezzar’s dominion. Neither here nor in Dan 2:38 is it to be understood literally.
