Mas os mesmos homens novamente o vieram procurar em tumulto: Saibas, ó rei, disseram-lhe, que a lei dos medos e dos persas não permite derrogação alguma a uma proibição ou a uma medida publicada em edito pelo rei.
Daniel 6:15
Comentário de Albert Barnes
Then these men assembled unto the king – The Chaldee here is the same as in Daniel 6:6 , “they came tumultuously.” They were earnest that the law should be executed, and they probably apprehended that if the king were allowed to dwell upon it, the firmness of his own mind would give way, and that he would release Daniel. Perhaps they dreaded the effect of the compunctious visitings which he might have during the silence of the night, and they, therefore, came tumultuously to hasten his decision.
Know, O king, that the law … – That is a settled matter about which there can be no debate or difference of opinion. It would seem that this was a point so well settled that no question could be raised in regard to it, and, to their minds, it was equally clear that if this were so, it was necessary that the sentence should be executed without delay.
Comentário de Adam Clarke
Então esses homens se reuniram – Tendo obtido respostas favoráveis, como podemos presumir, de muitos indivíduos, ele convocou um parlamento; mas agora eles se uniram coletivamente para exigir a execução da lei, não a revogação.
