signed <DAN6 -:9 > Wherefore king Darius {signed} the writing

and the decree.

signed <DAN6 -:10 > Now when Daniel knew that the writing was

{signed}, he went into his house; and his windows being open in

his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three

times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he

did aforetime.

signed <DAN6 -:12 > Then they came near, and spake before the

king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not {signed} a

decree, that every man that shall ask [a petition] of any God or

man within thirty days, save of 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.

signed <DAN6 -:13 > Then answered they and said before the king,

That Daniel, which [is] of the children of the captivity of

Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast

{signed}, but maketh his petition three times a day.
