Daniel 9:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 To the Lord our God belong (A)compassion and forgiveness, [a]because we have (B)rebelled against Him; 10 and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His [b]teachings which He (C)set before us through His servants the prophets. 11 Indeed, (D)all Israel has violated Your Law and turned aside, not obeying Your voice; so the (E)curse has gushed forth on us, along with the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

King James Version
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

- Daniel 9:9 tn Heb “to the Lord our God (belong) compassion and forgiveness.”
- Daniel 9:10 tn Heb “paid attention to the voice of,” which is an idiomatic expression for obedience (cf. NASB “nor have we obeyed the voice of”).
- Daniel 9:10 tn Heb “to walk in.”
- Daniel 9:10 tc The LXX and Vulgate have the singular.
- Daniel 9:11 tn Or “transgressed.” The Hebrew verb has the primary sense of crossing a boundary, in this case, God’s law.
- Daniel 9:11 tn Heb “by not paying attention to your voice.”
- Daniel 9:11 tn Heb “the curse and the oath that is written.” The term “curse” refers here to the judgments threatened in the Mosaic law (see Deut 28) for rebellion. The expression “the curse and the oath” is probably a hendiadys (cf. Num 5:21; Neh 10:29) referring to the fact that the covenant with its threatened judgments was ratified by solemn oath and made legally binding upon the covenant community.
- Daniel 9:11 tn Heb “him.”
