forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of dark sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.

מַלְכָּ֜א (מַלְכָּ֜) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep fled from him.

מַלְכָּ֤א (מַלְכָּ֤) mal.Ka “king”

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a lamentable voice; the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?

Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
