2. Formal Translation In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of the years concerning which the word of the LORD {Yahweh, Prophecy Giver} came to Jeremiah the prophet: that seventy years must be completed for the desolations of Jerusalem. |
2. Dynamic Translation During the first year of his rule, I, Daniel, realized by reading the books how many years, according to the message from the LORD {Yahweh, Promise Keeper}, had been appointed for the desolation of Jerusalem—seventy years. |
