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 Y t煤, su hijo Belsasar, no has humillado tu coraz贸n, sabiendo todo esto:
23 Antes contra el Se帽or del cielo te has ensoberbecido, 茅 hiciste traer delante de ti los vasos de su casa, y t煤 y tus pr铆ncipes, tus mujeres y tus concubinas, bebisteis vino en ellos: dem谩s de esto, 谩 dioses de plata y de oro, de metal, de hierro, de madera, y de piedra, que ni ven, ni oyen, ni saben, diste alabanza: y al Dios en cuya mano est谩 tu vida, y cuyos son todos tus caminos, nunca honraste.
24 Entonces de su presencia fu茅 enviada la palma de la mano que esculpi贸 esta escritura.
25 Y la escritura que esculpi贸 es: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 La declaraci贸n del negocio es: MENE: Cont贸 Dios tu reino, y halo rematado.
