“And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.”
And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN—presenting the cryptic Aramaic words requiring Daniel's interpretation, words that employ economic imagery of weighing and dividing to pronounce judgment. The repetition of MENE emphasizes the finality of the divine decree. The four terms comprise Aramaic words for measures and verbs suggesting military or commercial transactions.
