Suddenly H8160 the fingers H677 of a man’s H606 hand H3028 came H5312 out H5312 and began writing H3790 opposite H6903 the lampstand H5043 on the plaster H1528 of the wall H3797 of the king’s H4430 palace H1965, and the king H4430 saw H2370 the [fn]back H6447 of the hand H3028 that did the writing H3790.
The queen H4433 entered H5954 the banquet H4961 [fn]hall H1005 because H6903 of the words H4406 of the king H4430 and his nobles H7261; the queen H4433 answered H6032 and said H560, “O king H4430, live H2418 forever H5957! Do not let your thoughts H7476 alarm H927 you or the [fn]splendor H2122 of your face be changed H8133.
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.
