6:28 Note: KJB: Dān.6.27

OET (OET-RV) So Daniel prospered during the reign of Dareyavesh and during the reign of Koresh (Cyrus) the Persian.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:1–28: God delivered Daniel from the lions’ den

The new Persian king, Darius the Mede, chose Daniel to be one of the three officials who administered the kingdom. Daniel did his work so well that the other officials became jealous of him. One day they asked the king to pass a law that forbade praying to anyone but him for a period of thirty days. The king signed the law. Daniel, however, refused to obey it and continued to pray to the one true God, the God of Israel. When the king heard that Daniel had disobeyed the law, he ordered his soldiers to throw Daniel into the pit where he kept hungry lions. But God protected Daniel. The lions did not hurt him. When the king saw this, he punished Daniel’s enemies and honored Daniel and the God of Israel.

Other possible headings for this section include:

Daniel in the Pit of Lions (GNT)

Daniel and the Lions (NCV)

God protected Daniel from lions

Historical Background: The Persian empire under Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon in 539/538 BC, when Daniel was over seventy years old.Daniel was taken captive and brought to Babylon in approximately 605 B.C. If he was 12 years old when he came, he would have been 78 when this story began. The Persian empire became larger than the Babylonian empire had ever been. It extended west to include both Egypt and Libya. It extended east as far as the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. It was the largest empire in the history of the world up to that time.

Some commentators think that Darius the Mede was another name or title for the Persian King Cyrus or for the governor under him, Gubaru.

Text:

The verse numbers in the NJPS and the NJB are different from the verse numbers in the BSB. For example, 6:1 in the NJPS and the NJB is 5:31 in the BSB. The difference is because the NJPS and NJB follow the numbers in the Hebrew Bible. These Notes follow the verse numbers in the BSB.

Special Problems:

1. Lists: The author liked to include lists. In Daniel 6, he listed the different officials who conspired against Daniel (6:1–2; 7). Some languages may not have so many terms for officials. The Notes will suggest some ways to translate these lists.

2. Repetition: The author liked to repeat words and phrases in order to create suspense and emphasis. The Notes will give some suggestions on how to translate words or phrases that are repeated.

3. Verbs of Speech: The author sometimes used more than one verb of speech to introduce a quotation. In some languages, this may not be natural. The Notes will offer some options on how to translate these verbs.

4. Synonyms: The author liked to use synonyms or near synonyms to refer to the same idea. For example: 6:7–9 (ordinance, law, decree); 6:14 (rescue, delivering); 6:26 (kingdom, dominion); 6:27b (signs, wonders). The Notes will suggest different ways to translate these terms.

Paragraph 6:28

This verse concludes chapter 6. It tells what happened later to Daniel.

6:28

So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

So: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as So here introduces the conclusion to the narrative. Introduce this conclusion in a way that is natural in your language.

Daniel prospered: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as prospered here indicates that Daniel was successful politically and materially. Things went well for him. Here are some other ways to translate this:

All went well for Daniel (CEV)

Daniel was successful (NCV)

Daniel’s life went well

Daniel: The Aramaic text has a demonstrative pronoun before the name Daniel: “This Daniel.” In this context it puts the focus away from the king and back on Daniel. You may translate this pronoun if it is natural in your language. For example:

This Daniel (NJB)

This man, Daniel, (GW)

during the reign of Darius: The Aramaic word that the BSB translates as reign can have different meanings.See HALOT, 1917. In this context it refers to the period of time when Darius ruled the Persian empire. See 6:26d, where the BSB translates it as “kingdom,” and the note on Darius at 6:1. Other ways to translate this are:

while Darius was king (CEV)

when Darius ruled

and the reign of Cyrus the Persian: See the Notes at 1:21. Cyrus was the king of Persia from 539–530 B.C. Other ways to translate this are:

and when Cyrus the Persian ruled

when Cyrus the Persian was king (NCV)

In this second division, the second half of the book, Daniel recorded dreams that God gave him. These dreams contained many symbolic figures and strange animals. The events symbolized world events, the rise and fall of kings and kingdoms, and the dream emphasized God’s control over world history.

uW Translation Notes:

בְּ⁠מַלְכ֣וּת דָּרְיָ֑וֶשׁ וּ⁠בְ⁠מַלְכ֖וּת כּ֥וֹרֶשׁ פרסי⁠א

(Some words not found in UHB: delivers and,[he_is]_rescuing and,[he_is]_doing signs and,wonders in=the=heavens and,on,the,earth that/who rescued to/for=Dāniyyʼēl from/more_than power_of of,the_lions )

Cyrus the Persian was the king who ruled after Darius.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

6:28 the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian: Or the reign of Darius, that is, the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Such usage of “and” is common in Aramaic; many believe that Cyrus and Darius were one man (see study note on 5:31).
