The same Hiphil perfect third-person masculine plural form occurs where officials jointly pursue an interdict in Daniel 6:7, where a group comes before the king about that interdict in Daniel 6:12, and where the group action precedes Daniel’s being brought to the den in Daniel 6:16. The APB renders these surrounding clauses with “consulted together,” “approached,” and “they brought Daniel,” so its whole-verse wording does not isolate a single fixed English equivalent.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the three verses, the APB presents the surrounding group actions as “consulted together,” “approached,” and “they brought Daniel.” These expressions cannot be treated as separate renderings of the term.
