In Daniel 3:29, the Hiphil infinitive construct occurs in the declaration that no other god is able to deliver “in this manner.” Daniel 6:15 has another Hiphil infinitive construct, and Daniel 6:28 has a masculine singular participle; the supplied APB renderings of those verses do not make the term's particular contribution identifiable.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 3:29, the APB renders the relevant clause with “able to deliver in this manner.” Its renderings for Daniel 6:15 and Daniel 6:28 do not visibly reflect the term.
