Daniel 6:12

Listen to Daniel 6:12
12 E foram logo falar com o rei acerca do decreto real: “Tu não publicaste um decreto ordenando que nestes trinta dias todo aquele que fizer algum pedido a qualquer deus ou a qualquer homem, exceto a ti, ó rei, será lançado na cova dos leões?”O rei respondeu: “O decreto está em vigor, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que não pode ser revogada”.

Daniel 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 6:12

Then they came near
They went immediately from Daniel's house to the king's palace, and into the king's presence; which they could do, either by virtue of their offices, or being admitted by the proper officer in waiting: and spake before the king concerning the king's decree;
at first they said nothing about Daniel, but about the decree, to get it recognized, and afresh ratified and confirmed; lest, under some pretence or another, the king should change it: hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition
of any god or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be
cast into the den of lions?
they do not say peremptorily that he had signed such a decree, but put the question to him, that they might have it affirmed by himself: the king answered and said, the thing is true, according to the law of
the Medes and Persians, which altereth not;
it is true that such a decree is made and signed, and it is an unalterable one; such as is every established and signed decree of the Medes and Persians: it is as if he had said, it is very true what you put me in mind of, and I will never recede from it, or nullify and make it void.

Daniel 6:12 In-Context

10 Quando Daniel soube que o decreto tinha sido publicado, foi para casa, para o seu quarto, no andar de cima, cujas janelas davam para Jerusalém e ali fez o que costumava fazer: três vezes por dia ele se ajoelhava e orava, agradecendo ao seu Deus.
11 Então aqueles homens foram investigar e encontraram Daniel orando, pedindo ajuda a Deus.
12 E foram logo falar com o rei acerca do decreto real: “Tu não publicaste um decreto ordenando que nestes trinta dias todo aquele que fizer algum pedido a qualquer deus ou a qualquer homem, exceto a ti, ó rei, será lançado na cova dos leões?”O rei respondeu: “O decreto está em vigor, conforme a lei dos medos e dos persas, que não pode ser revogada”.
13 Então disseram ao rei: “Daniel, um dos exilados de Judá, não te dá ouvidos, ó rei, nem ao decreto que assinaste. Ele continua orando três vezes por dia”.
14 Quando o rei ouviu isso, ficou muito contrariado e decidiu salvar Daniel. Até o pôr do sol, fez o possível para livrá-lo.
