re.gash denotes a group’s coming together in actions surrounding the royal interdict and Daniel’s confinement.

The attested form marks collective action by a group: officials act together over the proposed interdict in Daniel 6:7, a group comes before the king concerning it in Daniel 6:12, and the group action leads into Daniel’s being brought to the lions’ den in Daniel 6:16.

Senses in use

  1. Gathering or acting together as a group · dominant

    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.
