Commentary on Daniel 2:30

Theological / Devotional

Their sakes. “Their” is a supplied word. The clause reads literally, “but on account of the thing that they may make known to the king the interpretation.” “They” appears to be used impersonally. The LXX probably gives the simplest meaning of the passage, “Moreover, this mystery has not been revealed to me by reason of wisdom which is in me beyond all living, but for the sake of making known the interpretation to the king, that thou mightest know the thoughts of thine heart.”
