This suggests a method of seduction or persuasion that is not straightforward but rather manipulative. Historically, this reflects the tactics used by leaders like Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who sought to win over the Jewish people through deceptive promises and appealing rhetoric. In a spiritual sense, it warns believers to be wary of those who use charming words to lead them away from their faith.<p><b>he will corrupt</b><br />The term "corrupt" comes from the Hebrew "chaneph," meaning to pollute or defile. This indicates a moral and spiritual degradation, suggesting that the influence of this leader will lead people away from righteousness. Theologically, it underscores the danger of compromising one's beliefs and the ease with which one can be led astray when not firmly grounded in faith.<p><b>those who violate the covenant</b><br />The "covenant" refers to the sacred agreement between God and His people, particularly the Mosaic Covenant given to the Israelites. To "violate" it means to break or disregard this divine agreement. Historically, this could refer to Jews who abandoned their faith under pressure or temptation. Spiritually, it serves as a reminder of the importance of faithfulness to God's commands and the consequences of turning away from His promises.<p><b>but the people who know their God</b><br />The phrase "know their God" emphasizes an intimate and personal relationship with the Divine. The Hebrew word "yada" for "know" implies a deep, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual understanding. This highlights the strength and resilience that comes from a genuine connection with God. Historically, this could refer to the Maccabees and other faithful Jews who resisted Hellenistic influences. It serves as an inspiration for believers to cultivate a strong, personal faith.<p><b>will firmly resist him</b><br />The word "resist" in Hebrew is "chazaq," meaning to be strong, courageous, or to hold fast. This implies an active and determined opposition against the corrupting influences of the time. Historically, this resistance was seen in the Maccabean Revolt, where faithful Jews stood against the oppressive regime. Spiritually, it encourages believers to stand firm in their convictions, drawing strength from their relationship with God to withstand trials and temptations.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(32) <span class= "bld">Such as do wickedly.</span>--In these verses are traced the effects of the apostasy upon the people of God.

The <span class="hebrew">מ</span>, the preformative of the participle hiphil, has been taken for the preposition <span class="hebrew">מִן</span>. written defectively, and probably <span class="hebrew">בִּלְ לֺאם קָשֵׁה</span> for <span class="hebrew">בַּחֲלַקֹת</span>. Theodotion does not require special notice, as his version here agrees closely with the Massoretic. The Peshitta is somewhat shorter and having a different significance, "And those who transgress against the covenant he shall condemn them. And the people who know the fear shall be strong." The Vulgate rendering is, "And the impious against the covenant shall feign falsely (<span class="accented">simulabunt fraudu-lenter</span>), but the people knowing their God shall possess and do (exploits)." Men like Alcimus, the high priest after Menelaus, were transgressors of the sacred covenant, and were corrupted by the flatteries of Epiphanes. He used them to gain the people over to his views. <span class="accented">But the people that do know their God shall be strong</span>, <span class="accented">and do exploits.</span> Even when Epiphanes seemed most nearly successful, there was a deep-seated opposition to this Hellenizing process. Especially prominent were those who were zealous for the Law, the <span class="accented">Hasidim</span>, or, to give them the name they have in the Book of Maccabees, the Assidseans. These religionists, headed by Mattathias and his sons, especially by the heroic Judas Maccabaeus, certainly knew their God, and as certainly did exploits. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/daniel/11-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">With flattery</span><br /><span class="heb">בַּחֲלַקּ֑וֹת</span> <span class="translit">(ba·ḥă·laq·qō·wṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b, Article | Adjective - feminine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2514.htm">Strong's 2514: </a> </span><span class="str2">Smoothness, flattery</span><br /><br /><span class="word">he will corrupt</span><br /><span class="heb">יַחֲנִ֖יף</span> <span class="translit">(ya·ḥă·nîp̄)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2610.htm">Strong's 2610: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be polluted or profane</span><br /><br /><span class="word">those who violate</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמַרְשִׁיעֵ֣י</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mar·šî·‘ê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Participle - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7561.htm">Strong's 7561: </a> </span><span class="str2">To be, wrong, to disturb, violate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the covenant,</span><br /><span class="heb">בְרִ֔ית</span> <span class="translit">(ḇə·rîṯ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1285.htm">Strong's 1285: </a> </span><span class="str2">A covenant</span><br /><br /><span class="word">but the people</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעַ֛ם</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘am)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> </span><span class="str2">A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock</span><br /><br /><span class="word">who know</span><br /><span class="heb">יֹדְעֵ֥י</span> <span class="translit">(yō·ḏə·‘ê)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine plural construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> </span><span class="str2">To know</span><br /><br /><span class="word">their God</span><br /><span class="heb">אֱלֹהָ֖יו</span> <span class="translit">(’ĕ·lō·hāw)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> </span><span class="str2">gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative</span><br /><br /><span class="word">will firmly</span><br /><span class="heb">יַחֲזִ֥קוּ</span> <span class="translit">(ya·ḥă·zi·qū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2388.htm">Strong's 2388: </a> </span><span class="str2">To fasten upon, to seize, be strong, obstinate, to bind, restrain, conquer</span><br /><br /><span class="word">resist [him].</span><br /><span class="heb">וְעָשֽׂוּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(wə·‘ā·śū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person common plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> </span><span class="str2">To do, make</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/daniel/11-32.htm">Daniel 11:32 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/daniel/11-32.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 11:32 Such as do wickedly against the covenant (Dan.
