In the ancient Near Eastern context, gods were often represented by idols or images, and capturing these was seen as capturing the power and protection of the enemy nation. The Hebrew word for "gods" here is "אֱלֹהִים" (elohim), which can mean gods, judges, or rulers, depending on the context. The act of taking these gods to Egypt signifies a complete subjugation and humiliation of the conquered people, as their divine protectors are rendered powerless.along with their metal images The term "metal images" refers to idols crafted from precious metals, often used in worship and as symbols of wealth and power. The Hebrew word for "images" is "צֶלֶם" (tselem), which can mean likeness or idol. These metal images were not only religious symbols but also represented the economic and cultural wealth of a nation. By taking these images, the conqueror was stripping the defeated nation of its identity and pride.and their precious articles of silver and gold The "precious articles" mentioned here are likely to be valuable items used in both religious and royal settings, such as temple vessels, jewelry, and other treasures. The Hebrew word for "precious" is "חֶמְדָּה" (chemdah), meaning desire or delight, indicating the high value placed on these items. Silver and gold were the standard measures of wealth and power in the ancient world, and their seizure would have been a significant economic blow to the defeated nation.For some years he will stay away from the king of the North This phrase suggests a period of peace or at least a cessation of hostilities between the king of the South (Egypt) and the king of the North. The Hebrew word for "stay away" is "עָמַד" (amad), which can mean to stand, remain, or endure. This indicates a deliberate choice to refrain from further conflict, possibly to consolidate power or rebuild after the spoils of war. The "king of the North" refers to the Seleucid Empire, which was often in conflict with the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt during this period. This temporary peace would have allowed both kingdoms to focus on internal affairs and strengthen their positions for future confrontations.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/daniel/11.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(8) He shall continue.--Apparently the meaning is (comp. the use of the preposition in <a href="/daniel/11-31.htm" title="And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.">Daniel 11:31</a>) "He shall stand on the side of [i.e., as an ally of] the northern king several years." Others translate, "He shall abstain from the king of the north some years." In either case the sense is nearly the same. The reference is said to be to the cessation of hostilities between Ptolemy and Seleucus, but there is nothing in these verses which leads us to infer what history states as a fact, that the northern king was completely crippled by a serious defeat, and that his fleet was dispersed by a storm.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/daniel/11.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 8. - And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north. The version of the LXX. is again very different from that of the Massoretic text, "And their gods, with them that moulded them, he shall subdue (καταστρέψει), and their multitudes with the vessels of their desirable things, the silver and the gold, shall go into captivity in Egypt, and the year shall be to the king of the north." Theodotion. as so frequently is the case, takes a place intermediate between the Massoretic and the version of the LXX. His rendering is, "And their gods, with those that moulded them, all their desirable vessels of gold and silver, he shall carry with the captivity into Egypt, and he shall prevail over the king of the north." Both the Greek versions take נְסִכֵהֶם (nesikhayhem) as derived from nasak, "to pour out," hence "to mould," "to form a molten image," reading the word noskeem. The Syriac differs from both the Greek renderings and also from the Massoretic, "And even he shall terrify them, and their desirable vessels of silver and gold and the captives he shall carry down to Egypt, and twice (literally, 'one, two') shall rise against the king of the north." The Vulgate differs in meaning from all the preceding, but the text it is drawn from does not differ consonantly from that of the Massoretes, "And besides their gods. and their graven images, precious vessels too of silver and gold, he shall lead captive into Egypt, he shall prevail against the king of the north." The word n'sikhayeem is rendered, in the Revised Version, 'molten images' - a meaning given to the word by Furst, Gesenius, and Winer, with reference to this verse. The meaning assigned to the word in the Authorized is drawn from Rashi, and is in accordance with the usage of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 32:30). And shall also carry caprices into Egypt their gods, with their princes. As we have said, Ptolemy Euergetes conquered all Syria and Mesopotamia to beyond the Tigris. From this we learn he carried off immense booty, and among the articles taken were images of their gods. And not only the gods of Syria, but the images of the Egyptian gods, which had been carried into Syria from Egypt by Cambyses, nearly three centuries before. If this doubtful word, nasakeem, is taken to mean "images," it is difficult to see the reference of the prenominal suffix. Does it mean that the gods themselves, and the images of these gods, were taken? That is to say, does it mean that gods of the Syrians were taken, and also their images, as if the images and the gods were different? From this, notwithstanding the general consensus of interpreters, we feel ourselves necessitated to differ, and to make the word mean "princes," although there is no prominence, in the few accounts we have of this expedition, to any captives of such rank as to be called princes. And with their precious vessels of silver and of gold. This rendering, although retained in the Revised, is scarcely grammatically accurate, as the noun for "vessels" is already defined by the prenominal suffix. On the other hand, this word cannot readily be in apposition, as the article would be needed. Professor Bevan would make it "in silver and gold." We feel inclined to regard this as a somewhat irregular construction, as if a ray had dropped out before כֶסִפ, "silver," though most of the versions regard these nouns as in the genitive after "vessels." And he shall continue more years than the king of the north It is a matter of fact that Euergetes survived Seleueus Callinicus, his sister's stepson, about four years. Hitzig and Ewald would render," He shall refrain for some years from attacking the king of the north." This rendering has the advantage that it escapes from the purely unimportant personal statement that Ptolemy should survive Callinicus. That the king of the north was allotted to regain the greater part of the dominions which had been wrested from him, without any counter effort on the part of Ptolemy, is more important. Keil objects to this that the emphatic position of וְהוּא is against this, and would support the rendering of the Vulgate, Ipse prevalebit adversus regem Aquilouis. Both versions are so far grammatically defensible; yet both are a little strained: both are in accordance with history. <a href="/commentaries/daniel/11-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>He will take יָבִ֣א (yā·ḇi) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> To come in, come, go in, go even וְגַ֣ם (wə·ḡam) Conjunctive waw | Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and their gods אֱ‍ֽלֹהֵיהֶ֡ם (’ĕlō·hê·hem) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative captive בַּשְּׁבִ֖י (baš·šə·ḇî) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7628.htm">Strong's 7628: </a> Exiled, captured, exile, booty to Egypt, מִצְרָ֑יִם (miṣ·rā·yim) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4714.htm">Strong's 4714: </a> Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest Africa with עִם־ (‘im-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5973.htm">Strong's 5973: </a> With, equally with their metal images נְסִֽכֵיהֶם֩ (nə·si·ḵê·hem) Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5257.htm">Strong's 5257: </a> Something poured out, a libation, a molten image, a prince and their precious חֶמְדָּתָ֜ם (ḥem·dā·ṯām) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> Desire, delight vessels כְּלֵ֨י (kə·lê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3627.htm">Strong's 3627: </a> Something prepared, any apparatus of silver כֶּ֧סֶף (ke·sep̄) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3701.htm">Strong's 3701: </a> Silver, money and gold. וְזָהָ֛ב (wə·zā·hāḇ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky For some years שָׁנִ֣ים (šā·nîm) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8141.htm">Strong's 8141: </a> A year he וְהוּא֙ (wə·hū) Conjunctive waw | Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are will stay away יַעֲמֹ֔ד (ya·‘ă·mōḏ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5975.htm">Strong's 5975: </a> To stand, in various relations from the king מִמֶּ֖לֶךְ (mim·me·leḵ) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> A king of the North, הַצָּפֽוֹן׃ (haṣ·ṣā·p̄ō·wn) Article | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6828.htm">Strong's 6828: </a> Hidden, dark, the north as a, quarter <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/daniel/11-8.htm">Daniel 11:8 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/daniel/11-8.htm">OT Prophets: Daniel 11:8 Also their gods with their molten images (Dan.
