11 There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit {ruach} of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar (may Nebo protect the crown), appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers (clod breakers), and diviners. Your own father, the king,

12 did this because Daniel (God is my judge), the one he named Belteshazzar (lord of the straitened's treasure), was found to have an extraordinary spirit {ruach}, as well as knowledge, understanding, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Summon Daniel, therefore, and he will give you the interpretation.”
