Daniel 5:24 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 5:24

Then was the part of the hand sent from him
That is, from God: being thus reproached and blasphemed, at that very instant, and for that reason, because the vessels of his sanctuary were profaned, and idol gods were praised, and he despised; he caused part of a hand, the writing fingers of it, to appear on the wall of the king's palace: and this writing was written;
which was then upon the wall, and he points to it.

Daniel 5:24 In-Context

22 And thou his son, O Belshatzar, hast not humbled thine lev, though thou had da’as of all this;

23 But hast lifted up thyself against Hashem of Shomayim; and they have brought the vessels of His Beis Hamikdash before thee, and thou, and thy nobles, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the g-ds of silver, and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the G-d in Whose hand thy breath is, and Whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.

24 Then was the part of the yad sent from Him; and this mikhtav (writing) was written.

25 And this is the mikhtav (writing) that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UFARSIN.

26 This is the pesher (interpretation, explanation) of the thing; MENE; G-d hath numbered thy malchut, and finished with it.
