continuance
te.di.ra denotes ongoing endurance in contexts of an unchanged matter and a king's continued life.
The two attestations place te.di.ra in contexts of ongoing endurance: an action concerning Daniel that is not to be changed and a wish for the king to live forever; the translation does not isolate the noun's exact English contribution.

The determined feminine singular noun occurs in Daniel 6:17, where the APB renders the outcome as “nothing might be changed concerning Daniel,” and in Daniel 6:21, where it renders Daniel's address, “O king, live forever.” Together these contexts indicate an ongoing or enduring state, though the translation does not identify a separate English rendering for the noun.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the two contexts through “nothing might be changed concerning Daniel” and “O king, live forever,” without marking a distinct English equivalent for te.di.ra. Its precise contribution remains partly unclear.
