Michael shall deliver Israel from their troubles.5. Daniel is informed of the times. Then I, Daniel, looked The phrase begins with "Then," indicating a continuation of the vision Daniel is experiencing. The Hebrew root for "looked" is רָאָה (ra'ah), which means to see or perceive. This is not merely a physical act of seeing but a spiritual perception, suggesting that Daniel is being granted insight into divine mysteries. Daniel, whose name means "God is my judge," is a prophet chosen to receive these revelations, emphasizing the importance of divine selection and the responsibility that comes with it. and saw two others standing there one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank The river--i.e., the Hiddekel, as in Daniel 10:4, though a different word for "river" is used, which is generally employed to designate the Nile. For the reason of the choice of this word, see the next Note. Verse 5. - Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river. The versions do not require remark, save that the Septuagint and the Peshitta do not repeat "river." The abrupt introduction of "two other' is another proof that the long eleventh chapter, as we have it now, is an interpolation. We must go back to Daniel 10:18 to get the person from whom these two mentioned are distinguished. The two new dramatis personae are, as Professor Bevan remarks, in all likelihood angels, and the river in question is the Tigris. In ch. 10. Hiddekel is nahar; here the word used is yeor, a word very often used of the Nile, but not exclusively (see Isaiah 33:21). Hitzig asserts that ילֺאר (y'or) is an Egyptian appellative, made by the Hebrews into the proper name of the Nile. The example just given disproves this statement, and from this false premise he deduces that the Book of Daniel was written in Egypt. They may be angels of countries. There seems nothing to justify the idea that Michael and Gabriel are the two here intended - the word "other" excludes this. The reason of this introduction of two angels is, Professor Bevan thinks, as witnesses to the oath of the angel. But an oath, to be binding, did not need witnesses; e.g. when David sware to Jonathan, there were no witnesses. Another idea may be hazarded - the Tigris may be looked upon as the boundary of the East and the West; and the two other angels may be the angelic guardians of these two regions.Parallel Commentaries ...
