Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel: 'Art thou Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

Then Daniel answered and said before the king: 'Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

וַהֲקִים֙ (וַ) va. “and”וְעֶשְׂרִ֑ין (וְ) ve. “and”

and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account unto them, and that the king should have no damage.

וְעֵ֤לָּא (וְ) ve. “and”וּמַלְכָּ֖א (וּ) u. “and”

Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel as touching the kingdom; but they could find no occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
