    In Daniel 6:12, the Poal participle occurs in the clause concerning a person who makes petition to a god or man; the APB renders that clause “every man who makes petition.” Daniel 4:24 has the Qal infinitive construct within the statement of a decree, but the APB does not make its specific contribution identifiable.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:12, the APB presents the relevant clause as making “petition.” In Daniel 4:24, its loose rendering of the decree does not clearly isolate the lemma's contribution.
