qe.val denotes receiving what is given, promised, or granted in the cited Daniel passages.

The cited passages show qe.val for receiving something bestowed: gifts, reward, and honor in Daniel 2:6, and the kingdom in Daniel 7:18. In Daniel 6:1, its precise contribution is less clear from the translation, though the verb remains in the same observed pattern.

Senses in use

  1. Receiving what is bestowed · dominant

    In Daniel 2:6, the Piel imperfect plural occurs in the condition of declaring the dream and its interpretation; the APB renders the result as receiving “gifts and a reward and great honor.” In Daniel 7:18, another Piel imperfect plural stands with the holy ones and the kingdom; the APB renders that they “will receive the kingdom.”

  2. Use in an appointment context · occasional

    Daniel 6:1 contains the Piel perfect singular form in a verse about Darius appointing satraps throughout the kingdom. The APB does not make this verb's specific contribution clear enough to isolate a more precise rendering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “receive” in Daniel 2:6 and Daniel 7:18, for rewards and for the kingdom. In Daniel 6:1, its translation presents an appointment of satraps without clearly isolating the term's contribution.
