LEB(i)
11 There is a man in your kingdom ⌊who has the spirit of the holy gods in him⌋.* And in the days of your ⌊predecessor⌋,* enlightenment and insight and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him; and, O king, Nebuchadnezzar your ⌊predecessor⌋* appointed him as chief of the magicians,* the conjurers,* the ⌊astrologers⌋,* and the diviners. Your ⌊predecessor⌋* the king did this
12 ⌊because⌋* there was found in him an excellent spirit and understanding and insight for interpreting dreams and explaining riddles and solving riddles; that is, in Daniel ⌊whom the king named⌋* Belteshazzar. Now, let Daniel be called and he will tell the explanation."*
13 Then Daniel was brought in before the king, and the king ⌊spoke⌋* and said to Daniel, "You are Daniel ⌊who are one of the exiles⌋* of Judah* whom my ⌊predecessor⌋,* the king, brought from Judah.*
14 And I have heard that a spirit of the gods is in you and enlightenment and insight and excellent wisdom was found in you.
15 And now the wise men and the conjurers* were brought in before me so that they could read this writing in order to make its explanation* known to me, but they were not able to disclose the explanation* of the matter.
16 But I have heard concerning you that you are able ⌊to produce interpretations⌋* and to solve riddles; now if you are able to read the writing and to make known its explanation* to me, you will be clothed in purple and a necklace of gold will be placed around your neck and you will rule as third in command in the kingdom."
