8 H3705 Now H4430 , O king H6966 , establish [H8681] H633 the decree H7560 , and sign [H8748] H3792 the writing H3809 , that it be not H8133 changed [H8682] H1882 , according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians H5709 , which altereth [H8748] H3809 not.

9 H3606 Wherefore H1836 H6903 H4430 king H1868 Darius H7560 signed [H8754] H3792 the writing H633 and the decree.

10 H1841 Now when Daniel H3046 knew [H8754] H3792 that the writing H7560 was signed [H8752] H5954 , he went [H8754] H1005 into his house H3551 ; and his windows H6606 being open [H8759] H5952 in his chamber H5049 toward H3390 Jerusalem H1289 , he kneeled [H8750] H5922 upon H1291 his knees H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day H6739 , and prayed [H8743] H3029 , and gave thanks [H8683] H6925 before H426 his God H6903 , as H3606 H1934 he did [H8754] H5648 [H8751] H4481 aforetime H1836 H6928 .

11 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled [H8684] H7912 , and found [H8684] H1841 Daniel H1156 praying [H8750] H2604 and making supplication [H8723] H6925 before H426 his God.

12 H116 Then H7127 they came near [H8754] H560 , and spake [H8750] H6925 before H4430 the king H5922 concerning H4430 the king's H633 decree H3809 ; Hast thou not H7560 signed [H8754] H633 a decree H3606 , that every H606 man H1156 that shall ask [H8748] H4481 a petition of H3606 any H426 God H606 or man H5705 within H8533 thirty H3118 days H3861 , save H4481 of thee H4430 , O king H7412 , shall be cast [H8729] H1358 into the den H744 of lions H4430 ? The king H6032 answered [H8750] H560 and said [H8750] H4406 , The thing H3330 is true H1882 , according to the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians H5709 , which altereth [H8748] H3809 not.

13 H116 Then H6032 answered [H8754] H560 they and said [H8750] H6925 before H4430 the king H1841 , That Daniel H4481 , which is of H1123 the children H1547 of the captivity H3061 of Judah H7761 , regardeth [H8754] H2942 H3809 not H5922 thee H4430 , O king H633 , nor the decree H7560 that thou hast signed [H8754] H1156 , but maketh [H8750] H1159 his petition H8532 three H2166 times H3118 a day.

14 H116 Then H4430 the king H8086 , when he heard [H8754] H4406 these words H7690 , was sore H888 displeased [H8754] H7761 with himself, and set [H8754] H1079 his heart H5922 on H1841 Daniel H7804 to deliver [H8756] H1934 him: and he laboured [H8754] H7712 [H8723] H5705 till H4606 the going down H8122 of the sun H5338 to deliver [H8682] him.

15 H116 Then H479 these H1400 men H7284 assembled [H8684] H5922 unto H4430 the king H560 , and said [H8750] H4430 unto the king H3046 , Know [H8747] H4430 , O king H1882 , that the law H4076 of the Medes H6540 and Persians H3606 is, That no H633 decree H7010 nor statute H4430 which the king H6966 establisheth [H8681] H8133 may be changed [H8682] .
