‏ Daniel 11:32

32 Then with smooth words he will defile ^{▼▼tn Or “corrupt.”} those who have rejected ^{▼▼tn Heb “acted wickedly toward.”} the covenant. But the people who are loyal to ^{▼▼tn Heb “know.” The term “know” sometimes means “to recognize.” In relational contexts it can have the connotation “recognize the authority of, be loyal to,” as it does here.} their God will act valiantly. ^{▼▼sn This is an allusion to the Maccabean revolt, which struggled to bring about Jewish independence in the second century b.c.}
