The attested use places ti.qaph, a construct singular noun, in counsel to a king concerning the possible lengthening of his tranquillity; the translation does not isolate its precise English contribution.

Senses in use

  1. 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.
