The adjective occurs where the king calls a matter determined in Daniel 2:8 and where the dream and its interpretation are presented as dependable in Daniel 2:45. In Daniel 3:24 it occurs in a confirming response, while Daniel 6:13 concerns the interdict the king signed and Daniel 7:16 concerns a true account requested from an interpreter; the APB renders the surrounding clauses with terms such as “True” and “true account.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with “for certain,” “determined,” “certain,” “trustworthy,” “True,” and “true account.” These are verse-level presentations rather than fixed renderings of the adjective.
