Daniel 6:7

6:7 To all the supervisors of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, counselors, and governors it seemed like a good idea for a royal edict to be issued and an interdict to be enforced. For the next thirty days anyone who prays ²  to any god or human other than you, O king, should be thrown into a den of lions.

Daniel 6:12

6:12 So they approached the king and said to him, ³  “Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?” The king replied, “That is correct, ⁴  according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.”

[3:6]  ¹ tn Aram “in that hour.”

[6:7]  ² tn Aram “prays a prayer.”

[6:12]  ³ tc The MT also has “about the edict of the king,” but this phrase is absent in the LXX and the Syriac. The present translation deletes the expression.

[6:12]  ⁴ tn Aram “the word is true.”
