Footnotes

  1. Daniel 10:19 tn Heb “treasured man.”
  2. Daniel 10:19 tn Heb “my lord may speak.”
  3. Daniel 10:20 sn The question is rhetorical, intended to encourage reflection on Daniel’s part.
  4. Daniel 10:21 tn Heb “a book of truth.” Several English versions treat this as a title of some sort (cf. NIV, NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT), although the NAB’s rendering, “the truthful book,” regards “truth” as an attributive adjective, as does the present translation.
  5. Daniel 10:21 tn The word “princes” is supplied for clarity.
  6. Daniel 10:21 tn The pronoun is plural in Hebrew, suggesting that Michael is the angelic prince of Daniel and his people.
