Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled and the colour went from his face, and his lords were at a loss.

מַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”

The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face:

מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father, light and reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the use

Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he w

Then they took Daniel in before the king; the king made answer and said to Daniel, So you are that Daniel, of the prisoners of Judah, whom my father took out of Judah.

Then Daniel made answer and said to the king, Keep your offerings for yourself, and give your rewards to another; but I, after reading the writing to the king, will give him the sense of it.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”לְמַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

As for you, O King, the Most High God gave to Nebuchadnezzar, your father, the kingdom and great power and glory and honour:

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”

That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.

מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

And over them were three chief rulers, of whom Daniel was one; and the captains were to be responsible to the chief rulers, so that the king might undergo no loss.

וּמַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.

וּמַלְכָּ֣א (מַלְכָּ֣) mal.Ka “king”

Then these chief rulers and the captains came to the king and said to him, O King Darius, have life for ever.

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֖א (מַלְכָּ֖) mal.Ka “king”

All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

Now, O King, put the order in force, signing the writing so that it may not be changed, like the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order.

מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

Then they came near before the king and said, O King, have you not put your name to an order that any man who makes a request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole? The king made answer and said, The thing

Then they made answer and said before the king, Daniel, one of the prisoners of Judah, has no respect for you, O King, or for the order signed by you, but three times a day he makes his prayer to God.

מַלְכָּא֒ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

When this thing came to the king's ears, it was very evil to him, and his heart was fixed on keeping Daniel safe, and till the going down of the sun he was doing everything in his power to get him free.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then these men said to the king, Be certain, O King, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no order or law which the king has put into force may be changed.

מַלְכָּ֑א (מַלְכָּ֑) mal.Ka “king”לְמַלְכָּ֗א (מַלְכָּ֗) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּ֥א (מַלְכָּ֥) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king gave the order, and they took Daniel and put him into the lions' hole. The king made answer and said to Daniel, Your God, whose servant you are at all times, will keep you safe.

מַלְכָּ֣א (מַלְכָּ֣) mal.Ka “king”מַלְכָּא֙ (מַלְכָּ) mal.Ka “king”

Then they got a stone and put it over the mouth of the hole, and it was stamped with the king's stamp and with the stamp of the lords, so that the decision about Daniel might not be changed.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king went to his great house, and took no food that night, and no ... were placed before him, and his sleep went from him.

מַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”

Then very early in the morning the king got up and went quickly to the lions' hole.

מַלְכָּ֔א (מַלְכָּ֔) mal.Ka “king”

And when he came near the hole where Daniel was, he gave a loud cry of grief; the king made answer and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whose servant you are at all times, able to keep you safe from the lions?

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then Daniel said to the king, O King, have life for ever.

My God has sent his angel to keep the lions' mouths shut, and they have done me no damage: because I was seen to be without sin before him; and further, before you, O King, I have done no wrong.
