Sleep in the king's overnight setting · dominant
In Daniel 6:19, the feminine singular construct noun occurs in the account immediately before the king rises at dawn and goes quickly to the lions' den. The APB renders the verse, "Then at dawn the king arose with the light and went in haste to the den of lions," so the term's individual contribution is not explicitly represented in the translation.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 6:19, the APB recounts the king rising at dawn and hurrying to the lions' den, but does not explicitly isolate this noun in its loose translation.
