Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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 11:40–45

This paragraph describes the final battles and end of the despicable king of the north.

11:42a

He will extend his power over many countries,

The king of the north will extend his power into many countries.
The king’s power will reach into many other/foreign lands

He will extend his power over many countries: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as extend his power is literally “stretch out his hand.” This is an idiom that in this context means that the king of the north will come to have power in many countries besides his own. Here are some other ways to translate this:

As he gets country after country into his grasp (REB)

His power will reach into many other countries

He will conquer many countries (NLT)

11:42b

and not even the land of Egypt will escape.

Even Egypt will not be able to defend itself against his power.
including the country/land of Egypt.

not even the land of Egypt will escape: The clause not even the land of Egypt will escape here means that the power of the king of the North would extend into Egypt. Here are some other ways to translate this:

the land of Egypt will not escape his hand/power

even Egypt will not be spared (GNT)

including Egypt (CEV)

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יִשְׁלַ֥ח יָד֖⁠וֹ בַּ⁠אֲרָצ֑וֹת

and,he_will_stretch_out his/its=hand on,lands

The angel is using he will stretch out his hand against as a common expression of the culture to mean “he will attack.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he will attack the lands]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם לֹ֥א תִהְיֶ֖ה לִ⁠פְלֵיטָֽה

and,the_land_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) not she_will_be (into)_an,escaped_remnant

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of an escape, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [and the land of Egypt will not escape]
