  1. Innocence in Daniel’s preservation · dominant

    In Daniel 6:23, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the report that Daniel is brought up from the den; the APB renders the surrounding outcome, "no harm was found in him," after stating that he had trusted in his God.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:23, the APB presents the verse through Daniel’s unharmed removal from the den, but its loose wording does not isolate a separate English rendering for the noun.
