Daniel 6:27-28

New English Translation

²⁷He rescues and delivers
and performs signs and wonders
in the heavens and on the earth.
He has rescued Daniel from the power^[a] of the lions!”

²⁸So this Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and^[b] the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

Daniel 6:27 tn Aram “hand.”
Daniel 6:28 tn Or perhaps “in the reign of Darius, even in the reign of Cyrus.” The identity of this Darius is disputed. Some take the name as referring to Cyrus, understanding the following ו (vav “and”) in an epexegetical sense (“even”). Others identify Darius with a governor of Babylon known from extra-biblical records as Gubaru, or with Cambyses, son of Cyrus. Many scholars maintain that the reference is historically inaccurate.
