ha.dar denotes honoring, shown in acts of praise toward God and in a king's failure to honor him.

The attested use concerns honoring God: Daniel 4:34 places the participle within Nebuchadnezzar's blessing and praise of the eternal ruler, while Daniel 5:23 contrasts self-exaltation and praise of other gods with not honoring the God who holds breath and ways. Daniel 4:31 preserves a first-person perfect form, but the supplied translation does not isolate its contribution clearly.

   In Daniel 4:34, the active participle occurs in Nebuchadnezzar's response after his knowledge returns; the APB renders the surrounding clause, “I blessed the Most High and praised and honored the living eternal.” In Daniel 5:23, the second-person perfect occurs in a rebuke that contrasts praising gods of metal, wood, and stone with not honoring the God “in whose hand is your breath and all your ways.” Daniel 4:31 has a first-person perfect form, though the APB's announcement that the kingdom has passed from the king does not make the term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly includes “honored” in Daniel 4:34 and “have not honored” in Daniel 5:23. Its rendering of Daniel 4:31 does not isolate the first-person perfect form.
