UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֶת־הָ⁠אִ֣ישׁ ׀ לְב֣וּשׁ הַ⁠בַּדִּ֗ים

DOM the=man clothed_of the,linen

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the man who was wearing linen clothes” or “the angel who was wearing linen clothes”

בְּ⁠חֵ֣י הָ⁠עוֹלָ֑ם

in/on/at/with,lives_of the,forever

Alternate translation: “by God, who lives forever”

כִּי֩ לְ⁠מוֹעֵ֨ד מֽוֹעֲדִ֜ים וָ⁠חֵ֗צִי

that/for/because/then/when for,time times and,half

It is best to leave it ambiguous as to when this begins. If you must choose a starting point, the three and a half years probably start with the events of [Daniel 12:1-4](./01.md).

לְ⁠מוֹעֵ֨ד מֽוֹעֲדִ֜ים וָ⁠חֵ֗צִי

for,time times and,half

These times are generally understood to refer to years. One and two and a half equal three and a half. Alternate translation: “three and a half years”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תִּכְלֶ֥ינָה כָל־אֵֽלֶּה

completed all these

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “all these things will have happened”

כָל־אֵֽלֶּה

all these

At the time when the man clothed in linen spoke to Daniel, none of the events in this vision had happened. This refers to the events in [Daniel 12:1-4](./01.md), and may include the events in the vision from chapter 11.
