qe.shot denotes truth as acknowledged in Daniel’s confession and Nebuchadnezzar’s praise.

The two attested uses present truth in declarations about God: Daniel 2:47 links it with the king’s acknowledgment of Daniel’s God, while Daniel 4:34 places it within Nebuchadnezzar’s praise of the Most High.

Senses in use

  1. Truth in royal acknowledgment and praise · dominant

    Both occurrences are common masculine singular absolute nouns. In Daniel 2:47 the term occurs in the king’s response after Daniel reveals the mystery; the APB renders the surrounding declaration, “Truly your God is the God of gods and Lord of kings.” In Daniel 4:34 it occurs in Nebuchadnezzar’s praise after his knowledge returns; the APB renders his blessing and honor of the living eternal whose dominion and kingdom endure.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB does not clearly isolate a separate English rendering for the noun in either verse. It presents the surrounding declarations through “Truly” in Daniel 2:47 and through Nebuchadnezzar’s praise in Daniel 4:34.
