SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–12:13: Daniel saw a vision of an angelic man and the end of the age

In this long final vision, Daniel was told of events leading up to the end of the age.

Paragraph 11:14–15

The king of the South will meet opposition from many sides. His army will be forced to retreat.

11:14a

In those times many will rise up against the king of the South.

¶ “During that time, many people will oppose/resist the king of the south.
¶ “About the same time, many people will turn/act/rebel against the king of the southern kingdom.

In those times many will rise up against the king of the South: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as will rise up is literally “will stand up.” Here it indicates that people will begin to fight against the southern king. They will resist him or rebel against him. Here are some other ways to translate this:

During these times many will resist the king of the south (REB)

In those times many will oppose the king of the south. (NET)

Then many people will rebel against the king of Egypt (GNT)

the king of the South: The phrase the king of the South continues to refer to the ruler of Egypt, the Pharaoh. Scholars suggest that the specific Pharaoh in view here is Ptolemy V Epiphanes (who ruled around 203–181 B.C.)

11:14b

Violent ones among your own people will exalt themselves

Some violent men among your own people, Daniel, will rebel against him
Some violent young men among your^(sing) own people will rise up against him

Violent ones among your own people will exalt themselves: This clause indicates that some of the Jewish people would be among those who resisted the king of the South. Here are some other ways to translate this:

and the men of violence among your own people shall lift themselves up (RSV)

and the more violent of your own people will rebel (NJB)

Those who are violent among your own people will rise up (NET) |

Violent ones: The Hebrew phrase is literally “the sons of the violent ones.” The people involved in the violence would (mostly) be male. So it may be natural to translate this:

violent men (GW)

violent young men

among your own people: The phrase your own people refers to the people of Daniel, that is, the people of Israel. It may be helpful to make this clear by translating as the GNT has done:

from your nation, Daniel (GNT)

will exalt themselves: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as will exalt themselves is literally “will lift themselves up.”

11:14c

in fulfillment of the vision,

and confirm the vision.
and fulfill the vision.

in fulfillment of the vision: The Hebrew words that the BSB translates as in fulfillment of the vision are literally “to make vision stand.” In the Hebrew there is no definite article (the) and it is uncertain as to what vision this refers. There are two ways of understanding this phrase:

these men wanted to fulfil a vision. It was a deliberate action. For example:
in the hope of realising the vision (NJB) (NJB, GNT)
these men acted in accordance with a vision, possibly one of Daniel’s own visions. Theirs was not a deliberate action. For example:
in keeping with this vision (GW) (GW, probably NIV)

Many English versions are ambiguous here, and this is recommended. For example:

in order to fulfill the vision (NRSV)

in confirmation of the vision (NET)

11:14d

but they will fail.

However, they will not succeed.
But they will fail.

but they will fail: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as but they will fail is literally “but they will stumble.” This is a common Hebrew metaphor for failure. Here are some other ways to translate this:

but they will falter (NET)

but they will be defeated (GNT)

In some languages it may be natural to translate this as a separate sentence. For example:

But they will fail (NCV)
