Daniel 7:22

the Ancient of days Daniel 7:9; Daniel 7:13.

judgementwas given for, &c. (R.V. marg.)] i.e. was pronounced in their favour. Bevan and Kamph. agree, however, that Ewald was perhaps right in conjecturing that the words יתב ושלטנא have dropped out by homœoteleutonbefore יהב : the verse would then run, -and the judgement [sat, and dominion] was given to the saints," &c. (cf. Daniel 7:10 b, Daniel 7:14; 26, 27). The rendering to(with the existing text) means that judgement was committed into their hands (1 Corinthians 6:2), an idea alien to the present context: God Himself is here the judge, and by His judgement secures justice for His saints.

and the time came, and, &c. The time appointed by God for the purpose. Cf. Daniel 7:18.
