Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) All the presidents.--Observe the order in which the State officers are mentioned--civil rulers, legal advisers, military governors--and comp. Note on Daniel 3:2. The spokesman represents all these officers to have come to a fixed determination after due deliberation. This was false, as it is plain from Daniel 6:24 that all were not involved in the conspiracy. The object of the decree was political, as well as hostile towards Daniel. By consenting to the plan proposed, Darius would acknowledge the Babylonian system of theology, according to which the king was "the living manifestation of all the gods," while, at the same time, his subjects would have an opportunity of doing him religious homage. Probably this prevented the king from perceiving any plot against Daniel. We see from this history the antiquity of espionage in political matters.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewAllכֹּ֣ל ׀ (kōl)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3606: The whole, all, any, everythe royalמַלְכוּתָ֗א (mal·ḵū·ṯā)Noun - feminine singular determinateStrong's 4437: Royalty, reign, kingdomadministrators,סָרְכֵ֣י (sā·rə·ḵê)Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 5632: Chief, overseerprefects,סִגְנַיָּ֤א (siḡ·nay·yā)Noun - masculine plural determinateStrong's 5460: A prefect of a, provincesatraps,וַֽאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנַיָּא֙ (wa·’ă·ḥaš·dar·pə·nay·yā)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural determinateStrong's 324: A satrap, governor, of a, main provinceadvisers,הַדָּֽבְרַיָּ֣א (had·dā·ḇə·ray·yā)Noun - masculine plural determinateStrong's 1907: Counselor, ministerand governorsוּפַחֲוָתָ֔א (ū·p̄a·ḥă·wā·ṯā)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine plural determinateStrong's 6347: A governorhave agreedאִתְיָעַ֜טוּ (’iṯ·yā·‘a·ṭū)Verb - Hitpael - Perfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3272: To counsel, to consultthat the kingמַלְכָּ֔א (mal·kā)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 4430: A kingshould establishלְקַיָּמָ֤ה (lə·qay·yā·māh)Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive constructStrong's 6966: To arise, standan ordinanceקְיָם֙ (qə·yām)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7010: A statuteand enforceוּלְתַקָּפָ֖ה (ū·lə·ṯaq·qā·p̄āh)Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive constructStrong's 8631: To become, mighty, obstinatea decreeאֱסָ֑ר (’ĕ·sār)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 633: An interdictthatדִּ֣י (dî)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 1768: Who, which, that, becauseforעַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5705: Even to, untilthirtyתְּלָתִ֗ין (tə·lā·ṯîn)Number - common pluralStrong's 8533: Ten times threedaysיוֹמִ֣ין (yō·w·mîn)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 3118: A dayanyoneכָל־ (ḵāl)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3606: The whole, all, any, everywhoדִּֽי־ (dî-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 1768: Who, which, that, becausepetitionsיִבְעֵ֣ה (yiḇ·‘êh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1156: To seek, askanyכָּל־ (kāl-)Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 3606: The whole, all, any, everygodאֱלָ֨הּ (’ĕ·lāh)Noun - masculine singularStrong's 426: Godor manוֶֽאֱנָ֜שׁ (we·’ĕ·nāš)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 606: Man, mankindexcept you,לָהֵן֙ (lā·hên)ConjunctionStrong's 3861: Therefore, exceptO king,מַלְכָּ֔א (mal·kā)Noun - masculine singular determinateStrong's 4430: A kingwill be thrownיִתְרְמֵ֕א (yiṯ·rə·mê)Verb - Hitpael - Imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 7412: To throw, set, assessinto the denלְגֹ֖ב (lə·ḡōḇ)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 1358: A pit, denof lions.אַרְיָוָתָֽא׃ (’ar·yā·wā·ṯā)Noun - masculine plural determinateStrong's 744: A lionJump to PreviousCast Consulted Counsellors Counselors Decree Den Deputies Establish Firm Governors Interdict Kingdom Petition Presidents Princes Royal Satraps Save Statute Strong Thirty Together
