8 H3705 Now, H4430 O king, H6966 establish H633 the interdict, H7560 and sign H3792 the writing, H3809 that it be not H8133 changed, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H5709 which altereth H3809 not.

9 H1836 Wherefore H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 signed H3792 the writing H633 and the interdict.

10 H1841 And when Daniel H3046 knew H3792 that the writing H7560 was signed, H5954 he went H1005 into his house H3551 (now his windows H6606 were open H5952 in his chamber H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem) H1289 and he kneeled H5922 upon H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day, H6739 and prayed, H3029 and gave thanks H6925 before H426 his God, H6903 as H1934 he did H1836 aforetime.

11 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled H7912 together, and found H1841 Daniel H1156 making petition H2604 and supplication H6925 before H426 his God.

12 H116 Then H7127 they came near, H560 and spake H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 interdict: H3809 Hast thou not H7560 signed H633 an interdict, H3606 that every H606 man H1156 that shall make H4481 petition unto H3606 any H426 god H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days, H3861 save H4481 unto thee, H4430 O king, H7412 shall be cast H1358 into the den H744 of lions? H4430 The king H6032 answered H560 and said, H4406 The thing H3330 is true, H1882 according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H5709 which altereth H3809 not.

13 H116 Then H6032 answered H560 they and said H6925 before H4430 the king, H1841 That Daniel, H4481 who is of H1123 the children H1547 of the captivity H3061 of Judah, H7761 regardeth H3809 not H5922 thee, H4430 O king, H633 nor the interdict H7560 that thou hast signed, H1156 but maketh H1159 his petition H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day.

14 H116 Then H4430 the king, H8086 when he heard H4406 these words, H7690 was sore H888 displeased, H7761 and set H1079 his heart H5922 on H1841 Daniel H7804 to deliver H1934 him; and he labored H5705 till H4606 the going down H8122 of the sun H5338 to rescue him.

15 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled H5922 together unto H4430 the king, H560 and said H4430 unto the king, H3046 Know, H4430 O king, H1882 that it is a law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians, H3606 that no H633 interdict H7010 nor statute H4430 which the king H6966 establisheth H8133 may be changed.
