Theological / Devotional

Prepare the table. See Dan. 5:1-4; Jer. 51:39. Riotous festivity marked the night of Babylon’s fall to the armies of Media and Persia.

Watch in the watchtower. Heb. saphoh hassaphith, literally, “arrange the order [of the seats],” that is, of the carpets or couches on which to recline at the feast.
