Suddenly H8160 the fingers H677 of a human H606 hand H3028 emerged 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 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 began H6032 to H6032 speak H6032 and said H560, “O king H4430, live H2418 forever H5957! Do not let your thoughts H7476 alarm H927 you or your [fn]face H2122 be pale H8133.
Then H116 Daniel H1841 was brought H5954 in H5954 before H6925 the king H4430. The king H4430 began H6032 speaking 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 replied H6032 and said H560 before H6925 the king H4430, “[fn]Keep your gifts H4978 for yourself or give H3052 your rewards H5023 to someone H321 else H321; however H1297, I will read H7123 the inscription H3792 to the king H4430 and make H3046 the interpretation H6591 known H3046 to him.
Then H116 Belshazzar H1113 gave H560 orders H560, 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 had H1934 authority H7990 as the third H8531 ruler in the kingdom H4437.
