ne.tan denotes giving or supplying something, including time, payments, and resources.

The attested use describes giving or supplying something to another party: time is requested for Daniel, tribute and related payments are withheld, and needed resources are to be provided from royal treasuries. Several Daniel occurrences have the same supplied verbal morphology, but the APB wording does not make this term's individual contribution visible there.

1. Giving or supplying what is due or needed · dominant

   In Daniel 2:16, the Qal imperfect occurs in Daniel's request that time be given to him before he declares the interpretation. In Ezra 4:13, the plural Qal imperfect stands in the clause about not giving tribute, poll tax, and custom; in Ezra 7:20, infinitive-construct forms occur where what is needed for God's house is to be provided from the royal treasuries.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the visible clauses with “be given,” “give,” and “provide” in Daniel 2:16, Ezra 4:13, and Ezra 7:20. In Daniel 4:14, Daniel 4:22, and Daniel 4:29, the supplied translation does not visibly isolate this term's contribution.
