Al,

Tim translated from the Gottingen.  It appears that he left out the
portion that has brackets [KAI THN ARXHN]'and the rule' because it is
assumed to not be part of the original Old Greek text, but assumed that
it was written as a gloss and then later inserted into the text.  I
guess that is my dissatisfaction because it is in all 3 ancient
witnesses of the OG text.  So I am interested in some thoughts on how
this verse should be translated with that portion that Tim left out.

Here is what I come up with. 'And their kingdom and authority and
majesty, and the rule of all the kingdoms under Heaven shall be given to
the holy people of the Most High,'KAI THN BASILEIWN KAI THN EXOUSIAN KAI
THN MEGALEIOTHTA AUTWN KAI THN ARXHN PASWN TWN UPO TON UORANON BASILEIWN
EDWKE LAW UYISTOU 

Thank you!

Might your dissatisfaction with NETS stem from the fact that NETS is not
translating OGDan 7:27 as you cite it (which is not Goettingen 1999--a
text which you reported to have acquired)?
