In Daniel 2:9, the Hiphil perfect second masculine plural forms occur in the accusation that the group had agreed to speak “a lying and corrupt word” before the speaker until the time changed. The APB presents the clause as “you have agreed to speak,”.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 2:9, the APB renders the surrounding clause “you have agreed to speak a lying and corrupt word.” This wording confirms the clause's accusation without isolating every contribution of the Aramaic form.
