Footnotes

  1. Daniel 2:43 tc The present translation reads the conjunction, with most medieval Hebrew mss, LXX, Vulgate, and the Qere. The Kethib lacks the conjunction.
  2. Daniel 2:43 sn The reference to people being mixed is usually understood to refer to intermarriage.
  3. Daniel 2:43 tn Aram “with the seed of men.”
  4. Daniel 2:43 tc The present translation reads הֵיךְ דִּי (hekh di) rather than the MT הֵא־כְדִי (heʾ khedi, “even as which”). It is a case of wrong word division.
