2:15He inquired of Arioch the king’s deputy, “Why is the decree from the king so urgent?”27 Then Arioch informed Daniel about the matter.
Footnotes
- 27 The Aramaic word מְהַחְצְפָה (méhakhtséfah) may refer to the severity of the king’s decree (i.e., “harsh”; so חצף; 1093 חֲצַף), although it would seem that in a delicate situation such as this Daniel would avoid this kind of criticism of the king’s actions. The translation above understands the word to refer to the immediacy, not harshness, of the decree. See further, F. Rosenthal, Grammar, 50, §116; E. Vogt, Lexicon linguae aramaicae, 67.
