Daniel 6:8-13

8NowH4430, O kingH4430, establishH6966 the interdictH633, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, accordingH4481 to the law of the Medes and Persians, whichH1768 altereth not.

9Wherefore kingH4430 Darius signedH7560 the writingH3792 and the interdictH633.

10And when Daniel knew that the writingH3792 was signedH7560, he went into his house; (nowH4430 his windows were open in his chamber toward Jerusalem;) and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks beforeH6903 his God, as he did aforetime.

11Then theseH1836 men assembled together, and found DanielH1841 makingH3046 petition and supplication beforeH6925 his GodH426.

12Then they cameH7284 near, and spake beforeH6925 the king concerning the king’s interdict; Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every manH1400 that shall make petitionH1156 unto any godH426 or manH1400 within thirty days, save unto thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

13Then answeredH6032 they and saidH560 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, That Daniel, whichH1768 is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth notH3809 thee, O kingH4430, norH3809 the interdictH633 that thou hast signedH7560, but maketh his petitionH1156 three times a dayH3118.
