NETBible

At that very moment the fingers of a human hand appeared¹ and wrote on the plaster of the royal palace wall, opposite the lampstand.² The king was watching the back³ of the hand that was writing.

NET Notes

¹tn Aram “came forth.”

²sn The mention of the lampstand in this context is of interest because it suggests that the writing was in clear view.

³tn While Aramaic פַּס (pas) can mean the palm of the hand, here it seems to be the back of the hand that is intended.
