ye.khel denotes having the ability to carry out an action, especially to reveal, deliver, or interpret.

The attested use consistently concerns ability or inability to perform a stated act: declaring or revealing a mystery, delivering from danger, and interpreting or reading what is set before someone. The APB’s wording confirms these contexts to each Aramaic form.

1. Ability or inability to perform an action · dominant

   The term occurs in statements about whether someone can accomplish a specified task: in Daniel 2:10 the APB renders the Chaldeans’ claim that no person is able to declare the king’s matter, while Daniel 2:47 credits Daniel with being able to reveal the mystery. In Daniel 3:17 and Daniel 3:29, the action is deliverance, and in Daniel 5:16 the APB renders Daniel’s reported ability to interpret and the king’s question whether he can read and explain the writing.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the clearer contexts, the APB presents the relevant clauses with expressions such as “able,” “cannot,” and “can,” in connection with declaring, revealing, delivering, and interpreting. Its wording cannot identify the precise English rendering of every listed occurrence.
