then ^H116 wrote Rehum ^H7348 the commander ^H1169 H2942 and Shimshai ^H8124 the scribe ^H5613 and the rest ^H7606 of their colleagues ^H3675, the judges ^H1782 and the lesser ^H671 governors ^H671, the officials ^H2967, the secretaries ^H670, the men ^H756 of ^H756 Erech ^H756, the Babylonians ^H896, the men ^H7801 of ^H7801 Susa ^H7801, that is, the Elamites ^H5962,

Then ^H116 as soon ^H4481 H1768 as the copy ^H6573 of King ^H4430 Artaxerxes’ ^H783 document ^H5407 was read ^H7123 before ^H6925 Rehum ^H7348 and Shimshai ^H8124 the scribe ^H5613 and their colleagues ^H3675, they went ^H236 in haste ^H924 to Jerusalem ^H3390 to the Jews ^H3062 and stopped ^H989 them by force ^H153 and military ^H2429.

“Then ^H116 we asked ^H7593 those ^H479 elders ^H7868 and said ^H560 to them thus ^H3660, ‘Who ^H4479 issued ^H7761 you a decree ^H2942 to rebuild ^H1124 this ^H1836 house ^H1005 and to complete ^H3635 this ^H1836 structure ^H846?’

‘Then ^H116 that Sheshbazzar ^H8340 came ^H858 and laid ^H3052 the foundations ^H787 of the house ^H1005 of God ^H426 [fn]in Jerusalem ^H3390; and from then ^H116 until ^H5705 now ^H3705 it is being ^H1124 rebuilt ^H1124, and it is not yet finished ^H8000.’

Then ^H116 King ^H4430 Darius ^H1868 issued ^H7761 a decree ^H2942, and a search ^H1240 was made ^H1240 in the [fn]archives ^H1005 H5609, where ^H1768 H8536 the treasures ^H1596 were deposited ^H5182 in Babylon ^H895.

Then ^H116 Tattenai ^H8674, the governor ^H6347 of the province beyond ^H5675 the River ^H5103, Shethar-bozenai ^H8370 and their colleagues ^H3675 carried ^H5648 out ^H5648 the decree with all ^H629 diligence ^H629, just ^H6903 as King ^H4430 Darius ^H1868 had sent ^H7972.

Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 replied ^H8421 with discretion ^H5843 and discernment ^H2942 to Arioch ^H746, the captain ^H7229 of the king’s ^H4430 [fn]bodyguard ^H2877, who ^H1768 had gone ^H5312 forth ^H5312 to kill ^H6992 the wise ^H2445 men ^H2445 of Babylon ^H895;

Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 went ^H236 to his house ^H1005 and made ^H3046 the matter ^H4406 known ^H3046 to his friends ^H2269, to Hananiah ^H2608, Mishael ^H4331, and Azariah ^H5839,

Then ^H116 Arioch ^H746 hurriedly ^H927 brought ^H5954 Daniel ^H1841 before ^H6925 the king ^H4430 and said ^H560 thus ^H3652 to him: “I have found ^H7912 a man ^H1400 among ^H4481 H1123 the [fn]exiles ^H1123 H1547 from Judah ^H3061 who ^H1768 can make ^H3046 the interpretation ^H6591 known ^H3046 to the king ^H4430!”

Then ^H116 King ^H4430 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 fell ^H5308 on his face ^H600 and did ^H5457 homage ^H5457 to Daniel ^H1841 and said ^H560 for them to present ^H5260 to him an offering ^H4504 and [fn]fragrant ^H5208 incense ^H5208.

Then ^H116 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 in rage ^H7266 and wrath ^H2528 said ^H560 to bring ^H858 Shadrach ^H7715, Meshach ^H4336, and Abed-nego ^H5665; then ^H116 these ^H479 men ^H1400 were brought ^H858 before ^H6925 the king ^H4430.

Then ^H116 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 was filled ^H4391 with wrath ^H2528, and the image ^H6755 of his face ^H600 changed ^H8133 toward ^H5922 Shadrach ^H7715, Meshach ^H4336, and Abed-nego ^H5665. He answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to heat ^H228 the furnace ^H861 seven ^H7655 times ^H2298 more ^H5922 than ^H5922 H1768 it was usually ^H2370 heated ^H228.

Then ^H116 Nebuchadnezzar ^H5020 the king ^H4430 was astounded ^H8429 and hurriedly ^H927 stood ^H6966 up ^H6966; he answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to his high ^H1907 officials ^H1907, “Was it not three ^H8532 men ^H1400 we cast ^H7412 tied ^H3729 up ^H3729 into the midst ^H1459 of the fire ^H5135?” They answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to the king ^H4430, “Certainly ^H3330, O king ^H4430.”

“Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841, whose ^H1768 name ^H8036 is Belteshazzar ^H1096, was appalled ^H8075 for a while ^H8160 as his thoughts ^H7476 were alarming ^H927 him. The king ^H4430 answered ^H6032 and said ^H560, ‘Belteshazzar ^H1096, do not let the dream ^H2493 or its interpretation ^H6591 alarm ^H927 you.’ Belteshazzar ^H1096 answered ^H6032 and said ^H560, ‘My lord ^H4756, if only the dream ^H2493 applied to those who hate ^H8131 you and its interpretation ^H6591 to your adversaries ^H6146!

Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 was brought ^H5954 in ^H5954 before ^H6925 the king ^H4430. The king ^H4430 answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 to Daniel ^H1841, “Are you that Daniel ^H1841 who ^H1768 is one of the [fn]exiles ^H1123 H1547 from Judah ^H3061, whom ^H1768 my father ^H2 the king ^H4430 brought ^H858 from Judah ^H3061?

Then ^H116 Daniel ^H1841 answered ^H6032 and said ^H560 before ^H6925 the king ^H4430, “Let your gifts ^H4978 remain with you or give ^H3052 your rewards ^H5023 to someone ^H321 else ^H321; however ^H1297, I will read ^H7123 the writing ^H3792 to the king ^H4430 and make ^H3046 the interpretation ^H6591 known ^H3046 to him.

Then ^H116 Belshazzar ^H1113 said ^H560 the word, and they clothed ^H3848 Daniel ^H1841 with purple ^H711 and put a necklace ^H2002 of gold ^H1722 around ^H5922 his neck ^H6676 and issued ^H3745 a ^H3745 proclamation ^H3745 concerning ^H5922 him that he now would ^H1934 be ^H1934 the [fn]third ^H8531 powerful ^H7990 ruler ^H7990 in the kingdom ^H4437.

Then ^H116 Darius ^H1868 the king ^H4430 wrote ^H3790 to all ^H3606 the peoples ^H5972, nations ^H524, and men of every tongue ^H3961 who ^H1768 were inhabiting ^H1753 all ^H3606 the land ^H772: “May your [fn]peace ^H8001 abound ^H7680!
