Daniel 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 6:8

Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing
For they had not only agreed upon it among themselves what to propose, as to the substance of it; but they had drawn it up in writing, ready to be signed, which they urge to have done immediately: that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians,
which altereth not;
when once signed by the king: mention being made of both the Medes and Persians, shows that these two nations were now united in one government; that Darius and Cyrus were partners in the empire; and it is easy to account for it why the Medes are mentioned first; because Darius was the Mede, and Cyrus the Persian; the one the uncle, the other the nephew; but afterwards, when a Persian only was on the throne, then the Persian is mentioned first, ( Esther 1:19 ) .

Daniel 6:8 In-Context

6 Formaron entonces los administradores y sátrapas una comisión para ir a hablar con el rey, y estando en su presencia le dijeron:—¡Que viva para siempre Su Majestad, el rey Darío!
7 Nosotros los administradores reales, junto con los prefectos, sátrapas, consejeros y gobernadores, convenimos en que Su Majestad debiera emitir y confirmar un decreto que exija que, durante los próximos treinta días, sea arrojado al foso de los leones todo el que adore a cualquier dios u hombre que no sea Su Majestad.
8 Expida usted ahora ese decreto, y póngalo por escrito. Así, conforme a la ley de los medos y los persas, no podrá ser revocado.
9 El rey Darío expidió el decreto y lo puso por escrito.
10 Cuando Daniel se enteró de la publicación del decreto, se fue a su casa y subió a su dormitorio, cuyas ventanas se abrían en dirección a Jerusalén. Allí se arrodilló y se puso a orar y alabar a Dios, pues tenía por costumbre orar tres veces al día.
