There is in your kingdom a man in whom is the spirit of the holy gods .
In the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom ,
like the wisdom of the gods ,
were found in him ,
and King Nebuchadnez '
zar ,
your father ,
made him chief of the magicians ,
enchanters ,
Chalde '
ans ,
and astrologers ,
*
because an excellent spirit ,
knowledge ,
and understanding to interpret dreams ,
explain riddles ,
and solve problems were found in this Daniel ,
whom the king named Belteshaz '
zar .
Now let Daniel be called ,
and he will show the interpretation ."

Then Daniel was brought in before the king .
The king said to Daniel , "
You are that Daniel ,
one of the exiles of Judah ,
whom the king my father brought from Judah .
*
I have heard of you that the spirit of the holy gods is in you ,
and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you .
*
Now the wise men ,
the enchanters ,
have been brought in before me to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation ;
but they could not show the interpretation of the matter .
