raz is a concealed matter whose content is sought, revealed, and made known in Daniel’s court scenes.

The attested use concerns a concealed matter whose content cannot be supplied by Babylonian wise men but is revealed and made known in the Daniel narratives. It appears in requests for disclosure, statements of revelation, and the king’s acknowledgment that the matter has been revealed.

   In Daniel 2:18 and Daniel 2:19, the singular form concerns the matter for which mercy is sought and which is then revealed to Daniel in a night vision. In Daniel 2:27, Daniel 2:28, Daniel 2:30, and Daniel 2:47, the term occurs where the king’s inquiry cannot be answered by wise men, but its content is made known and its interpretation is given; the APB renders these clauses with “mystery” or “mysteries.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 2:18, Daniel 2:19, Daniel 2:27, Daniel 2:28, Daniel 2:29, Daniel 2:30, and Daniel 2:47, the APB presents the relevant matter as “mystery” or “mysteries.” In Daniel 4:6, the translation instead speaks of making known the dream’s interpretation, so the lemma’s specific English rendering is not isolated there.
