Persian (Daniel 6:28, describing the empire after Darius the Mede)
This Aramaic adjective means Persian, referring to the Persian Empire or people. It appears in Daniel 6:28 (English 6:28) describing the reign of Darius the Mede 'and the Persian.' The text has both Ketiv and Qere readings with slightly different vowel patterns but the same meaning. The term identifies the Persian component of the Medo-Persian Empire.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The adjective 'Persian,' identifying the Persian people or empire. The cross-linguistic glosses (Spanish 'el persa,' French 'perse') show consistent translation, with Ketiv/Qere variants both meaning the same thing. This appears in Daniel's discussion of successive empires, where the Medo-Persian kingdom follows Babylon. The term appears twice in the same verse as textual variants rather than separate occurrences. 2×
