    In Daniel 2:6, the singular absolute form occurs in the promise made to anyone who declares the dream and its interpretation; the APB renders the clause with gifts, “a reward,” and great honor. In Daniel 5:17, the plural construct form occurs as Daniel tells the king to give the rewards to another; the APB renders the clause “give your rewards to another.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “a reward” in Daniel 2:6 and “your rewards” in Daniel 5:17. These renderings confirm the clauses' overall presentation rather than establish finer distinctions.
