    In Daniel 5:21, the Poal imperfect form occurs in the account of a man driven from people; the APB renders that his body "was wet with the dew of heaven." The same Poal imperfect form appears in Daniel 4:12, Daniel 4:20, and Daniel 4:30, but the supplied translation does not clearly identify its specific contribution in those verses; Daniel 4:22 instead has an active participle.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 5:21, the APB presents the relevant clause as a body that "was wet with the dew of heaven." In the other supplied verses, the translation does not make the term's individual rendering clear.
