ne.tsal denotes deliverance, with one verse explicitly describing a god able to deliver in a particular manner.

The attested forms concern deliverance: Daniel 3:29 explicitly speaks of a god able to deliver, while the remaining infinitive and participial forms occur in verses where the supplied translation does not isolate their contribution.

Senses in use

  1. Deliverance or the act of delivering · dominant

    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.
