Fußnoten
(a)5:1
Baltasar: He is believed to be the same as Nabonydus, the last of the Chaldean kings, grandson to Nebuchadnezzar. He is called his son, ver. 2, 11, etc., according to the style of the scriptures, because he was a descendant from him.(Challoner)
(b)5:5 Articulos manus can also mean the joints of the hand.(Conte)
(c)5:6 The phrase “compages renum eius solvebantur” literally means that the binding of his kidneys was loosened. But renum (kidney) was often used figuratively in ancient times (see Wisdom, chapter 1, for another example). It was used to refer to the concepts of temperament, self-control, composure, and patience.(Conte)
(d)5:7 The color purple is repeatedly mentioned in the Book of Daniel as being associated with wealth and royal power. This is because the purple color of ancient times was obtained, in a time-consuming and laborious process, from a certain gland in certain types of shellfish. Thousands of these shellfish were required to produce a small amount of the dye, and so the dye was expensive and rare, and usually only found with the very wealthy or the powerful. This color is often called Royal purple, because of its use by kings, or Tyrian purple, after the city which was a center of production and commerce for the dye.(Conte)
(e)5:10
The queen: Not the wife, but the mother of the king.(Challoner)
(f)5:31
Darius: He is called Cyaxares by the historians; and was the son of Astyages, and uncle to Cyrus.(Challoner)
