1 | Thanks just one more question, I promise | Dan 5:25 | Chusarcik | 80267 | ||
Searcher, Thanks for your detailed answer. I wonder if Daniel understood Aramic because of his background in Jerusalem or if God just revealed the information to him? What is your thought on this? I don't know what the local language of the Babylonians was during that time frame vs. the languag(es) Daniel may have known having originally come from a different area. What are your thoughts on this? Chusarcik |

Scripture ... Daniel 1:1-2:3, 8:1-12:13; 2:4—7:28 ... Chusarcik, you are welcome. I enjoyed searching Strong's. Daniel 1:1-2:3 (Introduction), 8:1-12:13 (Destiny of Israel) was written in Hebrew, the language of Israel, until then, at least. Daniel 2:4—7:28 was (Destiny of Nations) written in Aramaic, the common language of Babylon. Notice in 2:4 the astrologers spoke in Aramaic, so they should have been able to read what "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN" said (5:7-9, 25). I think Daniel learned Aramaic while being schooled (1:4).

3 | Why couldn't astrologers interperet it? | Dan 5:25 | Chusarcik | 80302 | ||
Thanks, that information is very interesting. I can't figure out why the locals would not have understood Aramic if they spoke it. I just read the form of Aramic it was written vertically rather than horizontally and this confused the locals. Maybe their current form of Aramic was written horizontally? Maybe information that detailed is just not available to us? | ||||||

I don't think it was in the plan of God for any one else be side Daniel to answer what the king wanted to know.God just has a way of showing his mighty power. | ||||||
