    In Daniel 6:15, the masculine singular absolute Poal participle occurs in the men's address to the king concerning a law that cannot be changed. The APB renders the surrounding statement as an appeal that “no interdict or statute that the king establishes may be changed,” but it does not isolate this term with a one-to-one English equivalent.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:15, the APB presents the surrounding courtly appeal about an unchangeable decree rather than providing a clearly isolable English rendering for this participle.
