Commentary on Daniel 2:9

Theological / Devotional

One decree for you. Literally, “your law is one.” The word for “decree” may also be rendered “sentence,” or “penalty.”

Time be changed. Either until the king should forget the whole affair or till they could invent some form of reply. “Time” here may also refer to the auspicious moment for carrying out the alleged communication of a god (see on v. 8).
