Daniel 5:28

5:28 As for peres – your kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

Daniel 5:25

5:25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEQEL, and PHARSIN.


sn Peres (פְּרֵס) is the singular form of פַרְסִין (pharsin) in v. 25.

tc The Greek version of Theodotion lacks the repetition of מְנֵא (mÿne’, cf. NAB).

tc The Aramaic word is plural. Theodotion has the singular (cf. NAB “PERES”).
