‏ Daniel 5:16

16 However, I have heard ^{▼▼tn The Aramaic text has also the words “about you.”} that you are able to provide interpretations and to solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, you will wear purple and have a golden collar around your neck and be third ^{▼▼tn Or perhaps “one of three rulers,” in the sense of becoming part of a triumvir; so also in v. 29.} ruler in the kingdom.”
