    In Daniel 5:12, the Hiphil infinitive construct occurs in the description of abilities found in Daniel, alongside interpreting dreams, explaining riddles, and loosing knots. The APB renders the concluding result as Daniel making “the interpretation known”, so its precise English correspondence to this form cannot be isolated with certainty.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 5:12, the APB presents the surrounding clause as Daniel making “the interpretation known.” That wording can only confirm the clause’s overall sense.
