"So King Darius issued the written interdict."
— Daniel 6:9, NET Bible
“Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.”
“Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict. ”
“Therefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.”
“So king Darius set forth the decree, and established it.”
“For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order.”
“Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.”
So these supervisors and satraps came by collusion to the king and said to him,“O King Darius, live forever!
To all the supervisors of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, counselors, and governors it seemed like a good idea for a royal edict to be issued and an interdict to be enforced. For the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than you, O king, should be thrown into a den of lions.
Now let the king issue a written interdict so that it cannot be altered, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.”
So King Darius issued the written interdict.
When Daniel realized that a written decree had been issued, he entered his home, where the windows in his upper room opened toward Jerusalem. Three times daily he was kneeling and offering prayers and thanks to his God just as he had been accustomed to do previously.
Then those officials who had gone to the king came by collusion and found Daniel praying and asking for help before his God.
So they approached the king and said to him,“Did you not issue an edict to the effect that for the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human other than to you, O king, would be thrown into a den of lions?” The king replied,“That is correct, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be changed.”
