Might in counsel concerning tranquillity · dominant
In Daniel 4:27, the construct singular noun occurs within counsel addressed to a king after the commands to break off sins by righteousness and show mercy for iniquities. The APB renders the surrounding clause, “if there may be a lengthening of your tranquillity,” enough to identify a single English equivalent for the noun.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 4:27, the APB presents the surrounding thought as “if there may be a lengthening of your tranquillity.” Its wording cannot be treated as a precise rendering of ti.qaph.
