Daniel 6

Day 6 of 21 · 21 Days of Prayer

10

When Daniel learned that the document had been signed into law, he went into his house (now his windows were open in his upper room toward Jerusalem), and he got down on his knees, as he did three times a day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done before.

11

Then these men who had formed the plot together saw Daniel make requests and seek help from God.

12

Then they approached the king and spoke with him about his decree: “Did you not make a decree that everyone who makes a petition to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, king, must be throw into the den of lions?” The king answered, “The matter is settled, as directed by the law of the Medes and Persians; it cannot be repealed.”

CONTEXT

Original word: וֶאֱסָרָֽא (ʼĕçâr) · an interdict
