third (Aramaic: one-third or third rank/position)
This Aramaic word for 'third' or 'a third part' appears in Daniel 5:16 and 29, where King Belshazzar promises Daniel that if he can interpret the mysterious writing, he will be clothed in purple and gold and rule 'as third' in the kingdom. The term is emphatic (taleta), meaning 'the third' or 'as one of three,' likely indicating third-highest ruler or one-third authority. Some interpreters suggest it means 'triumvir,' sharing rule as one of three. The promise positions Daniel at an extraordinary level of power in the Babylonian court, second only to the king himself and perhaps the queen mother.

1. sense 1 — Both occurrences promise Daniel the same reward: ruling 'as third' or 'in third position' in the kingdom after interpreting the handwriting. Spanish uses 'tercero' (third), French 'un tiers' (a third/one-third), German provides transliterations. The Aramaic construction with emphatic state suggests a specific, defined position—not merely 'third' in sequence but 'the third' in authority. This accords with Belshazzar himself ruling as co-regent, making Daniel third in the hierarchy. 2×
