And seven times will pass you by, until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of mankind and gives it to whom He wishes.”Daniel 4:33 · עַל־At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled. He was driven away from mankind. He ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a bird.Daniel 4:34 · עֲלַ֣יBut at the end of those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity was restored to me.

Therefore, if you can read this inscription and give me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”Daniel 5:21 · עֲלַֽהּ׃He was driven away from mankind, and his mind was like that of a beast. He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High God rules over the kingdom of mankind, setting over it whom He wishes.Daniel 5:23 · וְעַ֣לInstead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.Daniel 5:29 · עַֽל־ · עֲל֔וֹהִיThen Belshazzar gave the command, and they clothed Daniel in purple, placed a gold chain around his neck, and proclaimed him the third highest ruler in the kingdom.Daniel 6:1 · עַל־Now it pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom,Daniel 6:3 · עַל־ · עַל־Soon, by his extraordinary spirit, Daniel distinguished himself among the administrators and satraps. So the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.Daniel 6:4 · עֲלֽוֹהִי׃Thus the administrators and satraps sought a charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no charge or corruption, because he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him.Daniel 6:5 · עֲל֖וֹהִיFinally these men said, “We will never find any charge against this Daniel unless we find something against him concerning the law of his God.”Daniel 6:6 · עַל־So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said, “O King Darius, may you live forever!Daniel 6:10 · עַל־Now when Daniel learned that the document had been signed, he went into his house, where the windows of his upper room opened toward Jerusalem, and three times a day he got down on his knees, prayed, and gave thanks to his God, just as he had done before.Daniel 6:12 · עַל־So they approached the king and asked about his royal decree: “Did you not sign a decree that for thirty days any man who petitions any god or man except you, O king, will be thrown into the den of lions?” The king replied, “According to the law of the Medes and Persians the order stands, and it cannot be repealed.”Daniel 6:13 · עֲלָ֤ךְ · וְעַל־Then they told the king, “Daniel, one of the exiles from Judah, shows no regard for you, O king, or for the decree that you have signed. He still makes his petition three times a day.”Daniel 6:14 · עֲל֔וֹהִי · וְעַ֧לAs soon as the king heard this, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel, and he labored until sundown to rescue him.Daniel 6:15 · עַל־Then the men approached the king together and said to him, “Remember, O king, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or ordinance established by the king can be changed.”Daniel 6:17 · עַל־A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that nothing concerning Daniel could be changed.Daniel 6:18 · עֲלֽוֹהִי׃Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.Daniel 6:23 · עֲל֔וֹהִיThe king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den, and when Daniel was lifted out of the den, no wounds whatsoever were found on him, because he had trusted in his God.Daniel 7:1 · עַֽל־In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.Daniel 7:4 · וְעַל־The first beast was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man and given the mind of a man.Daniel 7:6 · עַל־Next, as I watched, suddenly another beast appeared. It was like a leopard, and on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.Daniel 7:16 · עַל־ · עַֽל־I approached one of those who were standing there, and I asked him the true meaning of all this. So he told me the interpretation of these things:Daniel 7:19 · עַל־Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others—extremely terrifying—devouring and crushing with iron teeth and bronze claws, then trampling underfoot whatever was left.Daniel 7:20 · וְעַל־I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell—the horn whose appearance was more imposing than the others, with eyes and with a mouth that spoke words of arrogance.Daniel 7:28 · עֲלַ֔יThus ends the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me greatly, and my face turned pale. But I kept the matter to myself.”
