但以理書 6:23 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 6:23

Then was the king exceeding glad for him
For Daniel, because of his safety, because he was alive, and in health, and unhurt; and the speech he made was very acceptable to him, agreeable to his sentiments, and which he was satisfied was just and true: or "with", or "for himself" ^F12; being now eased of a guilty and distracted conscience: and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den;
that is, he ordered those that were with him, his servants that attended him, either to roll away the stone, and so let him out; or to let down ropes, and draw him out, or ladders by which he might ascend; for one would think it would not have been safe for them to have gone down into it, to take him up: these orders the king gave without the consent of his lords, being animated to it by the miracle wrought: so Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found
upon him;
no bruise by throwing him into the den, no wound was made by the lions, or his flesh in the least torn by them: because he believed in his God;
served and worshipped him; of which service and worship faith is a particular branch, and is put for the whole, and without which it is not pleasing and acceptable to God; he trusted the Lord, he committed himself to his power and providence; he left himself wholly in the hands of the Lord, to dispose of him, whether for life or death, as he pleased; he believed he was able to deliver him, but he was not anxious about it: for this seems not to design any particular act of faith, with respect to this miracle wrought for him, but his general trust and confidence in God; and the apostle seems to have reference to this, when among other things he ascribes to faith the stopping of the mouths of lions, ( Hebrews 11:33 ) .

但以理書 6:23 In-Context

21 但 以 理 對 王 說 ： 願 王 萬 歲 ！

22 我 的 神 差 遣 使 者 ， 封 住 獅 子 的 口 ， 叫 獅 子 不 傷 我 ； 因 我 在 神 面 前 無 辜 ， 我 在 王 面 前 也 沒 有 行 過 虧 損 的 事 。

23 王 就 甚 喜 樂 ， 吩 咐 人 將 但 以 理 從 坑 裡 繫 上 來 。 於 是 但 以 理 從 坑 裡 被 繫 上 來 ， 身 上 毫 無 傷 損 ， 因 為 信 靠 他 的 神 。

24 王 下 令 ， 人 就 把 那 些 控 告 但 以 理 的 人 ， 連 他 們 的 妻 子 兒 女 都 帶 來 ， 扔 在 獅 子 坑 中 。 他 們 還 沒 有 到 坑 底 ， 獅 子 就 抓 住 （ 原 文 是 勝 了 ） 他 們 ， 咬 碎 他 們 的 骨 頭 。

25 那 時 ， 大 利 烏 王 傳 旨 ， 曉 諭 住 在 全 地 各 方 、 各 國 、 各 族 的 人 說 ： 願 你 們 大 享 平 安 ！
