“Therefore,
Daniel went to Arioch.
The king
Had appointed him
To destroy
The wise men
Of Babylon.
Daniel said to him.
‘Do not destroy
The wise men
Of Babylon.
Bring me in
Before the king.
I will give
The king
The interpretation.’”
Daniel then went to Arioch, the man in charge of the execution of the Babylonian wise men. He told Arioch not to destroy these wise men. He wanted Arioch to bring him to the king, so that he could give the king an interpretation of his dream.
