Description

MENE MENE TEKEL UFARSIN (Daniel 5:5)
"King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father[a] had taken from the temple in J
erusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. [...] Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking. [...] Here is what these words mean:
Mene[e]: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. Tekel[f]: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Peres[g]: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”
