The Key Word — גָּלֵ֥א, ga.Le'generated
The verb גָּלֵ֥א (ga.le') means 'to reveal,' and is in the active participle form, indicating continuous action. It conveys the idea of unveiling or disclosing information that was previously hidden, particularly secrets or mysteries. This word emphasizes God's role as the one who brings hidden truths to light.
In this context, the emphasis is on God's authority to disclose profound mysteries, which aligns with the overall theme of divine revelation throughout the book of Daniel. The use of this verb underscores the contrast between God's wisdom and human ignorance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses reveals for גָּלֵ֥א, consistent with the KJV and ASV, both of which also use 'reveals.'
The translations agree on the use of 'reveals' for גָּלֵ֥א, indicating a consensus on the meaning of God's action in unveiling hidden truths.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb גָּלֵ֥א (he reveals) governs the entire verse, with several phrases expanding on what is being revealed. The structure highlights God's active role in disclosing mysteries, with the following phrases detailing the nature of the things revealed: 'the deep and hidden things' and 'what lies in darkness.'
The sentence flows from a subject-verb-object structure, emphasizing God's action and the objects of His revelation, which include both the deep things and the mysteries of darkness.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates גָּלֵ֥א as ἀνακαλύπτων (anakalýptōn), which also means 'revealing' but carries a nuance of uncovering. This choice reflects a similar understanding of God's role in bringing hidden things to light, while the Greek word emphasizes the act of uncovering rather than simply revealing.
This translation choice indicates a continuity of thought regarding divine revelation, aligning closely with the Hebrew intent while adapting to the Greek linguistic context.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree closely in their wording, with 9 of the 10 words matched. The Dead Sea Scrolls also align with the Masoretic Text, though one word is partly restored and another supplied by an editor. This consistency across witnesses reinforces the reliability of the text.

Darkness
The plague (the ninth) of darkness in Egypt (Ex. 10:21) is described as darkness “which may be felt.” It covered “all the land of Egypt,” so that “they saw not one another.” It did not extend to the land of Goshen (ver. 23).
When Jesus hung upon the cross (Matt. 27:45; Luke 23:44), from the “sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.”
is spoken of as encompassing the actual presence of God, as that out of which he speaks, --the envelope, as it were, of divine glory. (Exodus 20:21; 1 Kings 8:12) The plague of darkness in Egypt was miraculous. The darkness "over all the land," (Matthew 27:45) attending the crucifixion has been attributed to an eclipse, but was undoubtedly miraculous, as no eclipse of the sun could have taken place at that time, the moon being at the full at the time of the passover. Darkness is also, as in the expression "land of darkness," used for the state of the dead, (Job 10:21,22) and frequently, figuratively, for ignorance and unbelief, as the privation of spiritual light. (
The absence of natural light, Ge 1:2, and hence figuratively a state of misery and adversity, Job 18:6 Ps 107:10 Isa 8:22 9:1; also the absence of the sun and stars, and hence the fall of chief men and national convulsions, Isa 13:10 Ac 2:20.

1. Origin of Light:
The creation of light was the initial step in the creation of life. "Let there be light" (Ge 1:3) was the first word of God spoken after His creative Spirit "moved" upon the primary material out of which He created the heavens and the earth, and which lay, until the utterance of that word, in the chaos of darkness and desolation. Something akin, possibly, to the all-pervasive electro-magnetic activity of the aurora borealis penetrated the chaotic night of the world. The ultimate focusing of light (on the 4th day of creation,
Light
The offspring of the divine command (Gen. 1:3). “All the more joyous emotions of the mind, all the pleasing sensations of the frame, all the happy hours of domestic intercourse were habitually described among the Hebrews under imagery derived from light” (1 Kings 11:36; Isa. 58:8; Esther 8:16; Ps. 97:11). Light came also naturally to typify true religion and the felicity it imparts (Ps. 119:105; Isa. 8:20; Matt. 4:16, etc.), and the glorious inheritance…
One of the most wonderful, cheering, and useful of all the works of God; called into being on the first of the six days of creation, by his voice: "Let there be light;" and there was light. No object better illustrates whatever is pure, glorious, spiritual, joyful, and beneficent. Hence the beauty and force of the expressions, "God is light," 1Jo 1:5, and "the Father of lights," Jas 1:17; Christ is the "Sun of righteousness," and "the light of the world," Joh 1:9 8:12. So also the word of God is "a light," Ps 119:105; truth and Christians are lights, Joh 3:19 12:36; prosperity is "light," Es 8:16; and heaven is full of…
