Discernment credited to Daniel · dominant
In Daniel 5:11 and Daniel 5:14, the singular absolute noun occurs in statements that light, understanding, and wisdom were found in Daniel. In Daniel 5:12, it appears in the description of the understanding associated with interpreting dreams, explaining riddles, and loosing knots; the APB renders the surrounding description with "understanding."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the surrounding clauses with "understanding" in all three verses, alongside light, wisdom, knowledge, and interpretive abilities. That English wording cannot isolate the term's contribution with certainty.
