Daniel 5:25-29

25“This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin

26“Here is what these words mean: Mene Mene can mean numbered or mina (a unit of money). : God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.

27Tekel Tekel can mean weighed or shekel. : You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

28Peres Peres (the singular of Parsin) can mean divided or Persia or a half mina or a half shekel. : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

29Then at Belshazzar’s command, Daniel was clothed in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck, and he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.
