Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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 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 very early looks into the unfinished 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 9:1–27: Daniel asked God to help Jerusalem and received a message from Gabriel concerning seventy weeks

The vision recorded in this chapter occurred during the first year of the reign of Darius (538 B.C.). Thirteen years had therefore passed since Daniel received the vision described in chapter 8. Daniel was now more than eighty years old.

Daniel had read in the book of Jeremiah that God’s people would remain in exile and serve the king of Babylon for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11). During that time the city of Jerusalem would remain in ruins. However, God had promised to bring his people back to the land of Judah after the seventy years were over (Jeremiah 29:10). Now Daniel realized that the seventy-year period was almost at an end. He prayed for his people and for Jerusalem. In response, God sent the angel Gabriel to reveal what would happen in the future.

Paragraph 9:7–10

Daniel recognized that the shame and disgrace felt by the people of Israel was due to their disobedience to God.

9:9a

To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness,

You, our Lord God, are full of mercy and you forgive people.
Our Master and God, you are compassionate. We ask you to forgive us

To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness: Since Daniel was continuing to pray, in many languages it may be natural or necessary for him to address God using a second-person pronoun. For example:

Lord God, you are merciful and forgiving (CEV)

But, Lord our God, you show us mercy and forgive us (NCV)

the Lord our God: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as the Lord means “the Master.” In many languages it may be natural to attach the possessive pronoun to this word:

Our^(excl) Master and God

belong compassion: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as compassion means “compassions.” God’s nature is one of compassion and pity toward his people. In some languages it may be natural to translate this as a verb indicating regular or constant behavior:

you^(sing) give mercy

you have pity

you show compassion

forgiveness: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as forgiveness means “forgivenesses.” God’s nature is also one that leads him to regularly forgive his people. In some languages it may be natural to translate this as a verb. For example:

you forgive us/people

9:9b

even though we have rebelled against Him

We^(excl) need/ask forgiveness because we have rebelled against you.
because we have not obeyed you.

even though we have rebelled against Him: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as even though is more often translated as “for” or “because.” In this context it introduces the reason why the people needed God’s mercy and forgiveness (9:9a). So in many languages it may be natural to translate this as:

For we^(excl) have rebelled against you
